Our Investment process
Formal relationship usually starts on receiving a comprehensive business plan for review from a business promoter.
After reviewing business plan, we hold meetings with the business owners to discuss business plan, build relationship and negotiate outline terms.
Subsequently, we value business and also consider financing structure. Following business valuation and financing structure consideration is Due Diligence. This involves our liaising with consultants to carry out external due diligence.
On completion of the due diligence and disclosure of all relevant business information by the entrepreneur, we negotiate final terms and draw up completion documentation. At this point funds are disbursed.
After disbursement we begin monitoring our investment till exit. To enable us do this, we require that the entrepreneur provide periodic management accounts and communicate regularly with us. We would usually take a seat on board of directors in the investee company, make constructive input as well as involve ourselves in major decisions in the running of the investee company. |
