four40 offer a complete set of services targeted at companies that grow their business and expand abroad, addressing three of their most pressing issues: get customers, get funding, get going. These services enable our clients to execute their business expansion successfully and achieve market entry and sustainable development and growth.

We provide practical hands-on support to the entrepreneur, delivered by professionals with proven track records in each of their respective fields of expertise:

Get Customers -- Business and Channel Development
We support our clients in planning and preparing market entry and business development in their target markets and developing the required sales collateral. We then target prospects, make customer introductions and provide direct pre-sales and sales support, presenting value propositions and preparing client proposals, and assist our clients in contract negotiations until deal closure. We also develop and execute channel strategies and build partnerships for indirect sales and service delivery.

Get Funding -- Investment Readiness and Fundraising Support
In many cases, growth and international expansion needs to be preceded by a funding round in the company’s home or target market. We help clients in the development of their funding roadmap, identification of potential capital sources and creation of the financial package to become investment ready. We then support our clients during the fundraising road show and term sheet negotiation.

Get Going -- Support Services, Business Execution & Governance
We connect our clients with professional service firms in new target markets for soft-landing, administrative and legal support and back-office operations. We also help our clients in establishing their teams and putting in place appropriate governance structures.

The underlying driver when delivering our services is to help the entrepreneur achieve market entry and growth while gaining efficiencies so that the funds go to developing product and closing revenue.

We understand that no two opportunities are the same. Therefore, our approach is highly tailored to each individual company’s specific situation and needs. To find out more on the four40 approach, please read on.
