We are specialists in packaging applications for international debt, equity, and joint venture partners and venture capital investors. Before we can send you (1) an appropriate case application form and (2) applicable procedures, we need to know some more details about the project and exactly what you require.

Debt loans usually require some form of guarantee for the total amount. Guarantees can take many different forms (either existing or to be created) and in some cases balance sheets or the project itself can form the guarantee. Our expert with extensive knowledge of structuring loan applications will be able to offer specifics on your case at the processing and due diligence stage.

For equity, JV partnerships etc, the investor normally meets all their own expenses and costs.

The circumstances in every project is totally different and can only be clearly defined after the processing and due diligence process is complete.

8 - Due diligence/processing procedures

In some cases we are required by our investor groups to inspect the applicant at source, to verify that the project is ‘real, genuine and economically viable’ and to (1) carry out all the required due diligence procedures and (2) advise the applicant exactly the way that the matter will be progressed, before presenting the case to the lender or investor.

You should be prepared to meet expenses for your project. These expenses could be, insurance premiums, appraisal fees, site visit, any legal expenses, formation of a company and travel expenses.

Important notes:

It is important that you understand it is literally impossible to arrange international finance or investment without incurring some costs.

In the case of debt borrowing, the costs to meet underwriting, bank and legal matters can be from 2% - 3% of the total. Ideally, applicant should be able to demonstrate to the lender that they can arrange this. If not, insurance bonding or a similar financial guarantee option may be necessary.

For equity, JV partnerships etc, the investor normally meets all their own expenses and costs except for stage which you maybe required to pay for.

We will charge you a success commission / fee (%) which is based on (1) the size of the loan or investment and (2) the complexity of the case. We will agree the commission percentage with you in advance. This is only payable after release of funds – usually it is paid direct from the lender.

To avoid wasting time, if we do not receive either an acknowledgement or a response within 7 days, we will assume that your intentions are not serious in this matter, and delete the file accordingly.
