In July 1999, the Managing Director of Futuremark, an Internet-driven software company from Helsinki, Finland, was contemplating the future of the company.

Aside the Helsinki headquarters, it had an office in Canada and in the UK. Further growth and internationalisation were sought, but where and how to achieve it? Additional financing would be needed as well, and the various methods must be considered in the analysis. Along with the financing options, students are expected to determine the value of the firm.
