BUSINESS STRATEGY & PLANNING
Need a business plan for fundraising or to guide implementation? We really listen and organize around your vision, mission and goals. We deliver business plans or can help polish and hone the one you already have (process is as important as product) to deliver insight and funding as quickly as possible.
FUNDRAISING STRATEGY FOR IMPACT PROJECTS
We partner with project developers, promoters, and owners to finance “impact” projects (more than 30 diverse industries) via a US family office investor. We also represent a large fund with global reach with higher minimums and rates of interest.
Then there are numerous opportunities, spanning venture fundraising, M&A (through a registered advisor), as well as diverse sources of “alterantive” capital in our network via in-house Affiliates.
CAPITAL GUARANTEE ADVISORY
Our US family office partners use completion assurance guarantees (either a Bank Guarantee / Standby Letter of Credit, bank-endorsed Promissory Note or Sovereign Guarantee). In addition to aligning the parties on completion, and filtering out fraud, such “demand guarantees” expedite up to 100% project financing at any reasonable stage of project development. With select projects that fit with our circle of third party guarantors, we can help under a fee-for-services arrangement.
We bring diverse industry knowledge and expertise for developing and/or financing your project or venture, with years of experience and track record of success with advising startups, governments, and established companies.
