Investments

Financing shaped around the project, not the other way round.

We are focused on financing for business entities, not individuals. The right structure depends on the project, its growth opportunities, and the source of the funds.

Financing options

Three ways we put capital to work

Depending on the source of the funds, our options range from loans to equity to trade credit. We talk through which one fits before anything is agreed.

Loan

Structured debt financing sized to a project's cash flow and repayment capacity.

Suits businesses with predictable income that want to fund growth without giving up ownership.

Equity

Growth capital for businesses ready to scale in exchange for an ownership stake.

Suits businesses with a larger growth program ahead of them and room for a long-term partner.

Trade credit

Working capital support tied to trade cycles, receivables, and supply chain needs.

Suits businesses whose growth is held back by the gap between paying suppliers and being paid.

Project selection

What we look for in a proposal

In the interest of investors, we seek to get as much information on projects as possible. As a basic requirement, we need a proposal that clearly highlights the seven areas listed here.

A proposal does not need to be long. It needs to be clear enough that someone outside the business can understand what is being built and why it is worth funding.
