Our Ethos
We operate our business on the basis of full transparency and the principle of direct and forthright disclosure to our clients. Our clients are, at all times, fully informed at all stages of throughout the course of our engagement, including during the financing process. All our transactions are fully papered, and all contracts and agreements are provided in plain English. We are generally compensated on the basis of success, and we do not ordinarily ask for any upfront fees, although sometimes we will require certain expenses incurred to be reimbursed.
Our Business Philosophy
We have a strong bias for debt-based funding and generally make use of ‘Business Capitalisation Loans’ (BCL’s) for the purpose of cost-effective and well-matched Enterprise Funding.
We are specifically NOT an Equity Investor, although we expect to participate in the equity stack of a client company as part of our compensation; neither are we a provider of Working Capital Financing, nor of Bridging Finance, rather we are a sophisticated lender of structured debt-based capital to hand-picked businesses which constitute our Client Company Cohort.
Our Business Philosophy We have a strong preference for working with potential clients that meet three primary criteria, specifically such a client should preferably be:
① In a pre-revenue phase. Fundamentally, we seek a high-potential start-up businesses as our preferred clientele;
② Located within a complex, technology-based business with inherently high barriers to entry, and a technology base that is sufficiently differentiated in the marketplace;
③ A business that requires significant capital investment into its Enterprise Funding stack.
