Capital Strategy,
Not just
Fundraising.
Impact Finance Consulting works with purpose-driven ventures to structure capital intelligently.
We go beyond preparing investment materials. We design capital pathways that balance growth, governance, and long-term impact integrity.
​
​Most founders spend months preparing materials for investors who were never the right fit. We work upstream – defining how much capital you need, in what form, from whom, and in what sequence – before a single investor conversation begins.
When capital is structured well,
impact scales.
OUR APPROACH
We Operate
at
Three Levels.
Strategy.
Structure.
Alignment.
Each level reinforces the others,
building a capital architecture that serves your mission across every stage of growth, not just the next raise.
​
IFC works with a deliberately small number of clients at a time. Every engagement receives genuine senior attention: the same rigour applied to established businesses to early-stage ventures.
​
01
Strategy
We determine how much capital you need, when you need it, and from whom.
​02
Structure
​We design the optimal blend of equity, debt, social investment and alternative finance.
03
Alignment
We ensure that investor expectations, governance frameworks, and impact objectives reinforce — not undermine — your mission.
OUR SERVICES
Three Mandates,
One Architecture.
Each engagement is tailored. We do not offer off-the-shelf packages — we design capital strategies for the specific complexity of your venture, stage, and ambition.

WHY IMPACT FINANCE CONSULTING
The Experience Behind the Strategy
​​​
The team is led by Jimmy Crick, an ex-Morgan Stanley investment banker with over 20 years of investment experience and more than 1,000 transactions covered across multiple sectors. He left a successful institutional career to apply that same rigour, exclusively, to purpose-driven ventures that deserve it.​
Capital is not neutral. How you structure it determines what you can become.

Investment Banking Pedigree
An ex-Morgan Stanley background means your capital strategy is built to institutional standards, the kind of preparation that investors rarely see from early-stage ventures.
Boutique & Selective
A deliberately small client roster, because institutional-grade capital strategy cannot be delivered at scale without being diluted.
Deep impact investment expertise
Specialist knowledge of impact funds, ESG frameworks, social investment, and the UK-France ecosystem.
Fluent in blended finance
We navigate the full spectrum — from equity and debt to social investment and alternative structures.
