2. How is audited equity different from private equity?

Private equity usually costs 20 — 30% in dilution and loss of control.

Audited equity has an average cost of ~4.5%, requires no investor involvement, and leaves you in full control.

📊 Cost comparison:

• Private Equity: 20 — 30% cost of capital

• Bank Loans: 6 — 10% cost, plus leverage risk

• Audited Equity: ~4.5%, no debt, no dilution

3. Can audited equity help win tenders?

Yes. Many tenders in real estate, hospitality, and infrastructure require a minimum solvency ratio. Audited equity provides a certified uplift so you meet solvency criteria and stay in the race.

4. Why is audited equity cheaper than traditional funding ?

Traditional raising is costly: investors expect 20 — 30% returns, and loans often carry 6 — 10% interest.

5. Who uses audited equity?

B2B companies that need solvency for:

• Financing : bank approval, investor talks
