We are looking for an investor for our electrical contracting firm, mainly working capital for upcoming projects.

We have searched the web and are trying to wade through all the scams that are out there to find the real deal.


Any ideas or suggestions?  Being in business for less than a year, we can not go through the conventional loan process with a bank, and we all know that they have tighten their lending, let alone a construction business.

Humphries,

Without more information, I can only offer a few general comments:

1. There are a number of ways to bring capital into a business. Choosing the best way for you and your company is the first step along the road to success. There are a number of factors that go into choosing your optimum capital strategy - beginning with how much you are seeking.

2. Although you may not be bankable - there may be other lending sources which can/will support you.

3.  If one decides to sell a security such as stock to acquire the capital - you should seek the advice on an expert so you are fully prepared.

 

If you would like to discuss your specific situation, feel free to send me a PM or contact me directly.

Have you thought about approaching the general contractors or developers that you have been working with as a potential source of investment? Someone in the business would be more likely to understand the particulars of your financials as well as your prospects for new business and the value of your backlog.

Best regards,

My name is Patrick and my company lends money against stock portfolios up to 70%!

It doesn't matter what exchange- as long as it’s traded publicly.

Rates from 4%-6%!

Terms from 3-5 years!

Non-recourse!

No waiting!

No credit!

 Can’t borrow money because of credit? It’s an amazing tool.

• Up to 100 million dollars!

• No matter the need. If you have stock, that’s publicly traded I'll get the deal done.

 

Just email the amount of funding you seek and a list of your assets that include your publicly traded stock(s) and/or mutual funds to mpparks@gmail.com for review.

Should your information meet the criteria, you will be contacted with a quote within 4 hours. Be sure to include your contact information and the best time(s) you may be reached.

Haven't brokerage companies been doing this for years? What is so special about your program?

 

At what point do you, in effect, issue a margin call? Or do you take the risk that the stock(s) take a nose dive (along with your collateral)?
