Our project portfolio extends globally. However, we prioritize international projects located in politically-stable countries. Our lenders are comfortable financing projects in any country as long as the requirements are met.
Each lender has its lending parameters, credit appetite, geography, and industries in which they are interested in financing the projects. Generally speaking, we work with projects starting at USD/EURO/GBP 2 Million and up to 2 Billion.
Our project financing program requires applicants/borrowers to have at least 20% to 30% capital invested/spent in the projects or readily available to invest. So, the capital stack will be 80/20 or 70/30. However, in certain cases and depending on the lenders, they may provide 100% project financing with equity shareholding if applicants/borrowers do not have the required 20% to 30% capital. For example, our flagship lender offers a 100% Financing Program (60/40 Joint-Venture), a 60% loan, and 40% equity shareholding. If applicants/borrowers opt for 100% financing, they must relinquish 40% of their equity in the project, and our flagship lender will have seats on the Board. Applicants/Borrowers also have the first right of refusal to repurchase the 40% equity shares after they pay off the 60% on the loan portion.
Commodities Trading, Commercial Real Estate, Hotels & Resorts, Shopping Malls, Healthcare, Oil & Gas, Waste to Energy, Renewable Energy, Manufacturing, Agriculture, Software Development, Infrastructure such as Ports, Rail, Buildings, Telecoms, Retail, Residential, and Commercial. Other project types will be on a case-by-case basis.
Transparent Fee Structure
Before commencement on deliberations with lending partners, we do charge an engagement fee that serves as a retainer and consultancy on our services. This fee doesn't exceed
$ 50000 - 100000 depending on the loan/investment funds in question.
However, we charge a professional fee at the end of every successful disbursement and the charges goes thus: The fee for arranging debt is typically between 1% to 3% while the fee for arranging equity financing is 5%.
It's important to note that when it comes to project financing, our lenders are non-bank institutions such as private financial institutions, institutional funds, or family offices. These lenders offer alternative capital in the non-bank project finance market. Therefore, it is customary for applicants/borrowers seeking debt finance projects to bear the cost of all due diligence, including professional reports, legal work, and structuring. The project sponsor, owner, or promoter must be able to pay for the project financing structuring costs.
Project financing structuring costs may exist if the project is approved for funding, especially when the lender issues a term sheet. These costs may vary, be reduced, or not exist at all, depending on the project’s complexity and overall credit risk profiles of the projects. They are only applicable if the project is approved.
Depending on the lender’s financing program, such as the 100% Financing Program (a 60/40, Joint-Venture) with a 60% loan and 40% equity shareholding, the applicant/borrower must be responsible for these fees when the lender issues an Activation Letter, Letter of Intent, Commitment To Fund, and Joint Venture Investment Contract, and these fees are payable in stages. Please remember that the lender will never issue a term sheet if they don’t believe that the projects have strong merits for consideration.
As a Global Business Finance company, we directly provide loans to our clients, and also we collaborate with various direct funding sources to meet our client’s business financing needs. Some of our partnerships are exclusive. For example, we partnered with a few direct lenders specializing in project financing, and they can provide project financing worldwide.
Our partnerships include Private Financial Institutions, Private Family Offices, Commercial, Conventional Retail, Private Wholesale lenders, Private Equity Firms, and Alternative and Non-Bank Lenders.
Our primary focus is trade financing, project financing and funding more complex transactions that traditional bank financing may not cover. Our network of funding sources provides a range of products to meet various project requirements. It’s important to note that our lenders/funders/investors may offer 100% financing under specific conditions, such as equity participation and other requirements.
All of our lenders have strict funding policies and requirements. Thus, applicants/borrowers need to follow our processes and protocols. Failing to follow our processes and protocols means no path to success.
All loans are subject to each lender’s eligibility requirements, underwriting guidelines, terms and conditions, and approval. Each lender may require specific supporting documentation for each new application.
We also offer Business Consulting services.
The closing costs vary from lender to lender and the types of financing projects that the applicant/borrower apply. For example, for a 100% Financing Program (60/40 Joint-Venture), with a 60% loan and 40% equity, the overall funding costs/closing costs range from 2% to 7% of the total requested funding amount. For 80/20 or 70/30 programs, lenders may charge between 3% and 3.5% of the total gross loan amount.
Our ideal clients are those who are action-oriented and have some capital to pay for the structuring costs of the loans, capital to invest in their projects, and possess a strong project and management team. We value clients who are committed to the funding process and respond promptly by providing the necessary documentation and actively securing the funding required for your project. Thus, we encourage you to assist us in helping you meet your financing needs.
Thank you for considering our financial services. We are excited to discuss your project with you, but we must first review your preliminary project documents to speak intelligently about it.
We only schedule a call after reviewing your preliminary documents. This is non-negotiable. We will analyze and pre-screen all projects upon receiving the documents.
Once we have carefully reviewed the materials, we will determine whether we can work on the files or assist you with your project financing. If the project meets our criteria, we will contact you to proceed with the next steps of the application process. If not, we will decline the project and notify you accordingly. The review process will take approximately 2-3 business days, depending on our workload.
To ensure uniformity, we require the following preliminary documents:
We work with Private Financial Institutions, Private Family Offices, Private Equity Firms, Private Wholesale, etc. These lenders often work with gatekeepers, such as Total Rich Group, to prioritize their focus on financing activities rather than managing the influx of submissions from aspiring entrepreneurs. These submissions often consist of unfeasible proposals. Gatekeepers act as a filter during the initial inquiry stage to identify and present only viable and shovel-ready propositions to suitable lenders. To ensure that only deserving proposals reach our lenders, their identities are withheld until they have had the opportunity to review your projects and all the documents we provided with our recommendations. Additionally, our lenders may opt to work through their legal representatives to protect their anonymity.
Due to the nature of the industry that we operate in, our clients have entered into confidentiality agreements with the lender and us, making it impossible for us to reveal any names on our website. Each transaction is treated as private and is safeguarded by a confidentiality agreement. Therefore, we do not employ our client’s information to secure new business from third parties.
Please note that private investors or private lenders typically invest in the market through asset managers, hedge funds, or other wealth managers, often utilizing proprietary structures. Due to the confidential nature of these transactions, every deal is covered by a confidentiality agreement. Any breach of this agreement could result in the loss of investors or other problems for these private investors or lenders.
You are auditioning for our business and, ultimately, our lender’s businesses, not the other way around. Also, due to the high volume of inquiries and submissions that we receive daily, we cannot sign the client’s NDA. Instead, we have a standard NCNDA and Professional Services Agreement, which we will ask you to sign if we want to work with you or proceed with your project's financing request. We must have this agreement in place before we can work with you. If you are uncomfortable providing the basic and necessary information we request so that we can create the NCNDA and Professional Services Agreement, please DO NOT proceed if you cannot comply with our processes and protocols. Our lenders also have strict requirements and funding policies that you must meet.
