Why we do it
The constant professionalization of local financing companies and the high standards of International investors, make it necessary for local companies to be duly assisted so as to convey their value and strength. Additionally, we believe it is important for management to stay focused adding value to their operations instead of being distracted by complex financing or M&A transactions which require the coordination of multidisciplinary teams.
