Equity
ICG raises equity in co-operation with American and UK investment banks. ICG works with insurance companies to undertake preliminary enquiries in the relevant financial markets before proposing a structure that could provide financing up to 100% for the project. In order to create securities for the project ICG conducts risks analysis alongside the insurance company. After thorough evaluation of the opportunity, insurance policies are issued against all risks, according to the requirements of the banks.
Once securities are in place ICG approaches several banks requesting offers for the loan and chooses the best offer taking into account all aspects of the project.
ICG, together with an insurance company, negotiates the terms of the loan with the bank. This ensures the financing facility of up to 100% of the project is provided under very competitive conditions with a typical financing period of up to 10 years. Terms and conditions of project loans generally conform to international standards and are subject to market conditions prevailing at the time.
Other Activities
ICG’S other activities include raising equity for high-tech companies and providing financing for small to medium sizes enterprises (SMEs) with potential growth, in a range of sectors.
Raising finance for SMEs is done mostly on AIM or the Plus London stock exchange, especially designed for such companies.
Compared to US and other stock exchanges, regulation and reporting on the London markets is reduced and flexible enough to enable SMEs to raise money quickly and at relatively low cost.
