Our position is unique in the marketplace as we are able to generate pipelines and identify potential investments for investors. We do not act as brokers but more as introducers. We have relationships with a number of banks and investment houses and understand what they are looking for in terms of investment in the cleantech sector.

Origination
We have built a number of asset management platforms for investors in the Solar PV and Energy from Waste technologies. This has required us to identify strategic partners that will meet the commercial and bankable requirements of the investor.

We are able to do some financial modelling to ratify the IRR’s and identify the key drivers of risk, cost and revenue. In doing so we can advise accordingly on any capital allowances / grants and funding opportunities, as well as structures such as ESCo’s & MuSCo’s that can improve the overall viability of the investment product.

Introduction
Our pipeline of potential investments is unique since we are approached by developers looking for a delivery partner in the first instance. We are able to capitalise on this initial point of entry and expand our remit to preparing the developer for investment. As such our pipeline consists by and large of projects that have yet to hit the investment market.

The degree with which we develop investment pipelines depends on the mandate established and differs in terms of interaction we will have both with the investor and potential investments.

Our fee is normally based on a couple of basis points of the capital raised.
