CFO.

We help companies and owners release capital from existing assets and finance new investment. We compare bank, lease and institutional financing, including bond and insurance capital, and recommend a structure suited to your cash flow and business priorities.

Start with a specific asset or project. The initial assessment is free.

Where we add value

Existing assets.
Future investment.

Put contracted revenue
to work.

A long-term lease or purchase contract with a creditworthy company may support project financing with less sponsor equity. We assess the contract, financing terms and project risks together.

The Capital Options Preview

Already funded.
Still worth a financing review.

A completed office fit-out can include company-owned improvements, fixtures and equipment. A review tests whether financing those assets would release useful capital on acceptable terms.

Existing assets / Leased facilities

Office improvements:
retain use, release capital.

A sale-leaseback may release capital from eligible assets while the company continues using them. The decision turns on net proceeds, lease payments and the value of retaining the current arrangement.

01 Eligible assets
Identify company-owned improvements and equipment, separate from landlord-funded assets. Check existing liens and the remaining property lease.
02 Net economics
Compare proceeds after fees and debt repayment with the full payment schedule, end-of-term obligations and any restrictions on the assets.
03 Recommendation
Set out whether to pursue financing or retain the existing position, with the terms and assumptions that would change the recommendation.
A focused starting point

One completed facility or equipment program, assessed against your liquidity needs and existing financing.

Your working relationship

Senior-led advice.
Specialist support.

Joe Bous leads the analysis and recommendation, with specialist partners selected for the assignment. We work alongside your CFO, Treasury team, banks and existing advisors.

Our focus is the financing decision around a specific asset or project. Bond and insurance capital are specialties, assessed alongside bank and lease financing. Keeping your current financing can be the right answer.

Before we begin

Straight answers.

What is free, and when does paid work begin?

The Capital Options Preview is a complimentary initial assessment. The Capital Options Review is a paid engagement with a defined scope: financial comparison, a written recommendation and the requirements to proceed. We agree scope, fees and timing before work begins.

Can you review assets we have already funded?

Yes. Equipment, tenant improvements, fixtures, technology and owned property may support financing. We assess ownership, existing debt, useful life and costs before estimating net proceeds. Historical spending is not the same as financing value.

Do we need an investment-grade rating?

No. We work with investment-grade and other creditworthy companies, including unrated businesses. A project may also be supported by a creditworthy tenant or customer. The actual borrower, contract and assets determine which options are available.

We already have banks and advisors. Why add this?

We provide a focused comparison for a specific asset or project, including alternatives outside an existing facility. We assess net proceeds, total cost, repayment term and flexibility alongside your current proposal. The review may confirm that your bank already offers the strongest option.

Is CFO Signals a lender or broker?

No. We provide independent capital advisory: we help you compare financing options and decide what to do. We do not lend or promise funding. Work that requires a license or specialist is handled by appropriately qualified partners.

What should we share first?

A short description of your company or project, what you need and when. Public links are welcome. Please keep confidential documents out of this form; we can arrange a private way to share them later.
