Background
The principals of this program have been involved in their respective industry for longer
than 70 years collectively. During this time as part of financing businesses, each have
worked with many banks. This includes the closing and commitments in excess of 100
million for equity and loan commitments for more than $1 Billion. In todays financing
marketplace, it has been increasingly difficult to receive credit approval for a loan. A
new or business struggling to meet capital needs must have access to funding.
Though many programs exist with banks and government sponsored programs, a
massive void still exists.
To fill this void, the principals has sought a new direction in funding their own projects.
At the same time realized this direction may be useful to fill in the void where banks and
other financing programs cannot. The program discussed will utilize the principals long
standing relationships with banks, asset management companies and private banks.
There is an element of multi-national banking that is needed to seek this path of
financing as banking laws in the USA. The Banking Regulations in the USA do not
allow mechanisms of finance that other countries will allow. Therefore, the program will
seek services of different banking and financial institutions located specifically in UK,
Switzerland, and very particular financing services from the USA.

low interest loan facility and expand capital / credit lines.
