Structure
What the work is, who the counterparty is, and what has to be agreed before anything else proceeds.
International Advisors
Structure. Develop. Close.
Built to be checked. Capital structured, projects developed and transactions closed, wherever the counterparties sit.

Services
Whatever role the transaction needs
In one transaction the group can structure it, place it, and enter as principal at the same time. These are roles, not separate products.
-
Structuring
The financial architecture of the transaction: instruments, security, sequence, and which party carries which risk.
-
Development
Taking a project from concept to a state capital can assess and a contractor can price, with each control recorded as it is passed.
-
Placement
Taking the structure to the desks that will take it (banks, insurers, funds and family offices) and running the process to signature.
-
Intermediation
Standing between two counterparties that need one, and holding the documentary file each side requires before it will sign.
-
Own capital
Where a transaction needs the group's own capital to move, the group puts it in and takes the position alongside the sponsor.
-
Capital raising
Where it needs more than the group's own, the group brings the investors and structures the terms of their entry.
Method
The method
How work is structured, developed and closed: the stages, the controls at each one, and who signs at the end.

Bring the transaction you are trying to close
Tell us what it is and where it has stopped. If it is not work for this group, you will be told so, and told why.
Standard
What one standard actually means
The same rules on a commodity cargo as on a film.
-
One company signs
A United Kingdom company, on a public register.
-
One code per operation
From the first document to the final invoice.
-
Compliance holds a veto
Any operation, any stage. A veto, not an opinion.
-
Documented before it exists
The counterparty file precedes the operation.
Team
The people behind the company
The division each of them is the way into, and the group posts behind them. They work wherever a transaction needs them.
