Through International Business Finance Corporation’s negotiation and facilitation, our clients have access to the following array of valuable services and venture capital funding recourses: 

• Access to funding for start-ups and project funding.

• Access to additional funding for Institutional Funds.

• Funding opportunities available to venture capitalists and investment angels.

International Business Finance Corporation structures and facilitates, on behalf of its clients, venture capital funding in the form of loan-structured finance, equity-structured finance, or a combination of these financing options - through the following two categories of financiers: 

· Venture capitalists 

International Business Finance Corporation’s associated venture capitalists offer equity-structured finance for projects requiring medium- to long-term financing of $1-million or more. This type of financier is typically directly involved in the business, providing strategic direction to management as well as financial support for the company. He may have a seat on the board but does not usually participate in day-to-day management. The reward is rapid growth of the enterprise in the medium- to long-term, with the funder exiting through the sale of the company, a management buy-out, or a flotation on the stock market. 

· Investment angels 

International Business Finance Corporation’s associated investment angels provide loan-structured finance of $100 K or more, utilizing various loan structures, with interest determined by the level of risk inherent in the venture. Although these projects are implemented independently, the project owner makes use of the wide range of corporate advisory services facilitated by International Business Finance Corporation. 

Either type of financier can supply funding at various stages in a business’ development: 

• At start-up, to facilitate product development and initial marketing financing. 

• In the early stage, to enable commercial manufacturing to take place so that the venture can start generating profits. 

• The expansion phase requires capital to increase an enterprise’s production capacity and to develop and market its products. 

• Refinancing can entail the purchase of existing shares in a venture from another venture capital firm. 

Our specialized services to our clients may include: 

• The selection of the most suitable type(s) of finance/financier (the importance of this is often underestimated, although it can have a significant impact on the outcome of the project or business). 

• The selection of appropriate and dedicated consultant expertise, if and when applicable.
