Clinq goes to work

If your score is strong, Clinq connects you directly to the right funders in our network. If not, your Relationship Manager walks with you until you are there.

We Are With You Every Step

You don't have to figure this out alone.

Every founder on Clinq is assigned a dedicated Relationship Manager — a real person who knows your business, tracks your progress, and walks with you every step of the way to funding.

Your Personal Relationship Manager

From the moment you get your Capital Readiness Report at Clinq, a dedicated Relationship Manager is assigned to your business. They monitor your Capital Readiness journey, check in proactively, connect you to the right resources at the right time, and make sure nothing falls through the cracks. When your score is ready, they are the ones who open the door to funders.

Why documents decide everything

Funders don’t fund promises.
They fund what your documents prove.

Before a funder ever meets you, the decision is already taking shape — on paper. Investment committees, credit teams and angels all follow the same process: they screen your pitch deck to understand the opportunity, interrogate your financial model to test your assumptions, and verify your management accounts to confirm the numbers are real.

A complete, consistent document pack signals a business that’s ready for capital. Gaps or contradictions send funders to the next deal — usually without telling you why. That’s the problem Clinq solves: we get your documentation to the standard funders decide on.

01

Screen

Your pitch deck earns (or loses) the first meeting — team, market, traction, ask.

02

Interrogate

Your financial model shows whether the returns justify the risk.

03

Verify

Management accounts and bank statements prove the revenue is real.

04

Decide

Consistent, complete documents move you from the 'maybe' pile to a term sheet.

For high-scoring businesses

Score high, and Clinq raises with you.

When your Capital Readiness Score is strong, we don’t just hand you a list of names. Clinq reaches out to funders on your behalf and walks with you through the full capital raising journey — from the first introduction, through negotiations and due diligence, all the way to final close and drawdown of funds.

Our incentives sit on your side of the table: Clinq earns a success fee of 5% or under of the capital you actually draw down. No drawdown, no fee — we only win when you get funded.

Success fee of 5% or under — paid only on funds drawn down

1. Introductions

We approach mandate-matched funders for you, with your score and report leading the conversation.

2. Negotiations

We stay in the room — helping you navigate term sheets, diligence requests and structuring.

3. Close & drawdown

We see the deal through to signed agreements and funds landing in your account.
