Building the future of corporate finance for impact businesses
Impact businesses are changing the world. Corporate finance should keep pace.
The Impact Finance Network is bringing together founders, finance professionals and researchers to develop a new generation of practical corporate finance models for businesses that combine commercial success with environmental and social impact.
Addressing common challenges
Impact businesses are becoming an increasingly important part of the economy.
Yet research from organisations including the OECD and the World Economic Forum consistently identifies access to finance as one of their greatest challenges. From raising debt and equity to demonstrating long-term value creation, many entrepreneurs still rely on financial tools designed for conventional businesses.
We believe impact businesses deserve better.
Our ambition
To develop practical corporate finance tools that help impact businesses:
✔ Secure debt finance
✔ Raise equity
✔ Scale sustainably
✔ Evaluate sustainability investments
✔ Navigate ownership transitions
Every model starts with a real business challenge—not a theoretical framework.
Built with entrepreneurs
The best corporate finance ideas come from practice.
That is why the Impact Finance Network is built around collaboration with founders and business leaders who face these decisions every day.
Together we test ideas, challenge assumptions and develop models that are practical, credible and useful.
Who should join?
We are inviting founders, CEOs and senior leaders of impact businesses who want to help shape the future of corporate finance.
Participation is informal.
There are no membership fees.
There are no fixed commitments.
Members may simply contribute feedback, participate in founder interviews or help test new models and pilot projects.
Why participate?
As an early participant you will have the opportunity to:
- help shape new corporate finance models;
- gain early access to research and practical tools;
- contribute to pilot projects;
- connect with a growing community of impact finance practitioners.
A shared ambition
The Impact Finance Network is more than a network.
It is an initiative to help ensure that the financial tools available to impact businesses evolve alongside the businesses themselves.
Because when better finance supports better decisions, more impact becomes possible.
