The objective of Global Projects Inc. is to provide investment bankers, project and business brokers with the following potential opportunities:

• Formal association with an exclusive international project development network organization of stature and integrity.
• Provision with access to various global venture capital funders and investment angels.
• Access to up-to-date research and general information about the venture capital funding and project development industry.
• Exposure to global venture capital funders and investment angels.
• Access to intellectual and corporate expertise.

Project criteria

Projects introduced to International Venture Capital Association for funding must conform to the following basic criteria:

• Venture capitalists offer equity-structured finance for projects requiring a medium- to long-term investment of $5-million or more.
• All projects must have the demonstrable potential to produce a minimum return on investment of forty percent per annum.

All projects are subject to a vigorous evaluation and risk assessment process, to the benefit of both proposer and potential financiers.

Projects are presented by Professional Investors Group associate members but may also originate from other sources such as central governments, non-associate investment bankers, corporations and dynamic entrepreneurs. Professional Investors Group funder members seek opportunities to finance ventures that offer unique products or services, with management teams that have direct experience in the relevant market, and partners who can demonstrate a strong commitment and ambition to making their business plans work.

Project submission procedure

Every project must be registered in the name of a company before the project can be submitted to the Group for assessment and acceptance. The project leader(s) and/or directors of the company must be associate members of Professional Investors Group.

The process of submitting a project entails:

• Assessing its total financial requirement.
• Preparing an Executive Project Summary, available from the office of the Paulsmeier Inc. Group, indicating the nature of the activity and listing the individuals involved.
• Submitting it, together with the business plan, to the office of the Paulsmeier Inc. Group.
• Upon receipt of these documents, the Paulsmeier Inc. Group office will register the project and hand the documents to its project development consultants/division.
• Upon receipt of these documents, the Paulsmeier Inc. Group’s project development consultants/division will evaluate the project based on the information, as provided.
• If the project is considered, the project development division will contact the project leader(s) to engage in a formal contractual relationship that clearly stipulates each party’s responsibilities.
• After the formal contractual agreement has been signed, the project development division will proceed with the drafting of the applicable documents, due diligence research, facilitation or negotiation of venture capital funding and/or viable projects and/or corporate expertise and resources, according to the terms agreed upon by both parties.

All projects are subject to a vigorous evaluation and risk assessment process, to the benefit of both proposer and potential financiers. Costs arising from the project approval process, such as due diligence and legal fees and any applicable referral commissions, are paid by the project introducer or leader submitting the project. In certain cases, these costs can be financed, but this is not always the case. Financiers may:

• Finance the total cost involved for the preparation of all the required documentation.
• Only finance a part of the costs involved for the preparation of the required documentation.

In return the financier(s) may require:

• Equity in the project.
• Interest on financing.
• A combination of equity and interest.

If the project is approved and a financing agreement is signed, the Paulsmeier Inc. Group will assess the corporate expertise and resource requirements of the project, source appropriate individuals from the associate membership and allocate consultancy contracts on a tender basis.

Professional Investors Group serves as a catalyst that generates wealth for its members. Exclusivity ensures that members’ interests are paramount in all its activities.
