French term

la prospection des capitaux

French to English Bus/Financial Finance (general)
Speaking about the shares in a company, I could not find a suitable translation for this.

Context:

Variabilité du capital

Les parts nouvelles sont souscrites moyennant le paiement, par chaque souscripteur, en sus du nominal, d'une prime d'émission destinée à amortir les frais engagés par la société pour la prospection des capitaux, la recherche et l'acquisition des immeubles, et les frais liés à l'augmentation du capital et à prendre en compte l'évolution de la valeur du patrimoine et l'état du marché des parts et à maintenir le montant du report à nouveau.

raising capital

My dictionary reference doesn't actually say "raising", but it gives you an idea of what "prospection" means. You could even say "prospecting for capital", but "raising" is more common.

"The capital raising process is a long series of orchestrated follow-ups that requires quite a bit of rigor on your part."

It means looking for investors, yes.
Note from asker:
So would this be researching investors?
