What is investment capital?

Investment capital provides long-term, committed, risk sharing equity capital, to help unquoted companies grow and compete.

It seeks to increase a company’s value to its owners, without taking control.

Although lenders (e.g. banks) have a legal right to interest on a loan and its repayment, irrespective of the borrower’s success or failure, the investor’s returns are dependent on the growth and profitability of the business.

Owners will need to sell some shares in their companies in exchange for funding (generally a minority stake, e.g. 10% - 49%) to the venture backer, who may seek a non-executive board position and attend monthly Board meetings.

In other words, investment capitalists invest in companies or venture with the investor participating in the shares and profits or losses.

Investors not only provide equity capital, but experience, contacts and advice when required, which sets investment capital apart from other sources of business capital.

Investors usually liquidate the investment by selling the shares to a third party in a private transaction or liquidate the investment in the public share market, following an initial public offering (IPO).

Loans and guarantees

We have access to a group of investors who eagerly seek to provide guarantees, letters of credit and other credit back-up programmes.

International guarantees are instruments specifically written to guarantee the repayment of credits extended by private lenders to international borrowers and projects that create economic well being for both the country of the lender and the country of the borrower.

International guarantees or assurance off payments are written to back up both financial and non-financial transactions. In financial transactions, they may be used to guarantee loans, back up commercial paper issues, or to ensure performance on options or future contracts. In non-financial transactions, they may be used to cover contract performance usually associated with construction projects, or to ensure merchandise delivery such as import/export. Guarantors in the international arena generally will unconditionally guarantee 100% of the principal amount of a loan involved in a particular transaction plus interest at a rate satisfactory to the guarantor.

A proposal for an international guarantee should meet the following tests:

The project for which the financing is requested must be economically, financially, and technically sound. It must be worthwhile and of high priority.
The project must not adversely affect the economy of either the country of the lender or the country in which it is located.
The project must be financially self-supporting and the links to productivity and earning capacity must be direct.

The pricing for the acquisition of a guarantee or collateral in the international marketplace varies considerably. Generally, it will depend on the country, method of payment, maturity, dollar amount of transaction for which the guarantee is being sought, and other factors that may come into play at the time of application.

Questions to ask yourself:

Do you have high growth ambitions for your company?

Are you willing to sell some of your company’s shares to an investor in order to be able to increase your stake’s value to more than that of your original holding within a few years?

Investors only target companies with real growth prospects, driven by a skilled, ambitious management. So if you and your company fit this description and you answered ‘yes’ to the questions above, Investment capital certainly is worth considering.

To raise funds successfully, it is essential that you have the Business Plan.

How can we help?
