Why does Hum Capital have the Max Raise Calculator?

Today, it can take a long time for a company to understand whether, and why, its capital raise expectations are realistic given their business performance

With the Max Raise Calculator, companies can see a rough estimate of much they can expect to raise based on their financial performance. With this information, companies can set their expectations accurately at the start of the fundraising process. 

Companies can also use the tool to model different scenarios by changing the value of the various financial metrics to see how much the maximum expected loan value changes. With that ability, companies can better understand how different business metrics affect their maximum loan amount.

It is important to note that output of the Max Raise Calculator is an estimate of the maximum loan size a company can expect, and is not a guaranteed number.

What information is needed to use the Max Raise Calculator?

The Max Raise Calculator has seven required fields:

  • Recurring or Non-recurring business model
  • Annualized revenue
  • Annualized EBITDA
  • Receivables
  • Inventory
  • Outstanding debt
  • Equity raised

After I fill out the required fields, what is the output from the Max Raise Calculator?

The Max Raise Calculator will provide the following output:

  • Max new debt: the predicted highest amount of debt financing a company can raise in US dollars
  • Which metric the “max new debt” is priced on: 
    • Revenue
    • EBITDA
