Funding your project from cross border lending sources does not have to be a painful and difficult process UNLESS you chose the wrong people to help you with it; and if you do chose the wrong person, then it will not only be painful but it will be very costly too.

FUNDING YOUR PROJECT

"Please don't be under any illusion at all - arranging any form of cross border finance is extremely complex; it's highly unlikely that you could ever successfully make a direct loan application, except with expert help and guidance".

You must understand that it's certainly not possible to arrange funding for every project, from cross border sources.

Some borrowers make the serious mistake of thinking all they need do is make (their version) of a business plan, give it to a local broker and the money will be forthcoming in a short time. Believe us, it NEVER happens that way!

There is a lot more than just the money aspect to deal with - for example, in all cases there is many other things to consider, typically:

• Detailed Project Analyses.
• Financial Auditing of Past Performance & Future Projections.
• Industry Specialist Auditing.
• Banking Procedures and Compliance's.
• International Insurance Underwriting.
• Legal Opinions and Issues.
• Securitisation and Guarantees Issues.
• International Risks and Many Other Types of Risks Assessment.
• Etc, Etc, Etc.....

All these things have to be dealt with by experienced specialists before a project can be packaged for the lending source.
