I have just started a start up company involved in the telecommunication sector. The company is based in Canada. What are the underwriting requirements to help me receive funding?

We are fully aware that the telecommunication sector is dynamic and fast growing. The prospect of working with a start-up company does not necessarily present an issue as we hold relationships with investment groups that have had, and are prepared, to take on clients of this nature. It is suggested that you call one of our New Business Team so we can discuss the specifics in more depth.

I am an independent broker based in Australia but the majority of my existing clients are from Europe. Is it possible to introduce these clients even though we operate in separate jurisdictions?

We see a lot of inquiries from Australia concerning the services we offer, but have limited representation there. We would certainly entertain application from new Brokers within this jurisdiction. It does not matter that you are Australian-based with European clients, as long as you have a good working relationship with them and communication between parties is concise and regular. I suggest that you complete the Prospective Intermediary Profile (PIP). We also pay commissions on all successful completions.

We are a Chinese company seeking to expand our operations in Europe and the Middle East. How is it possible to obtain the necessary funding?

We have experience with Chinese companies based solely in mainland China and also those that have subsidiary companies in different jurisdictions. China is an interesting jurisdiction and still currently has capital restrictions placed upon its citizens by the central bank, though these are now being relaxed. It is advised that you contact our New Business Department to discuss how you can be funded and talk about the different strategies to obtain that funding.
