We aim at designing innovative solutions tailored to the specific needs of our clients, whether they are international companies, private business units or Government institutions. We bring together all elements necessary to implement high standard professional services.

In this domain, we provide the following consulting services:

 

 

Direct Investment Advisory Services

We assist our clients in drawing an appropriate direct investment strategy that satisfies their strategic plan and long term objectives. By doing so we make sure that implementation of the proposed strategy structures their direct investment portfolio in the most appropriate way.

This approach also involves a thorough review and appraisal of the client’s acquisition policy, including evaluation of the financial and strategic business components in a perspective of creating synergy.

 

 

Economic and Marketing Studies

 

We prepare these studies with our associates as the need may arise. We team our professional economists with marketing specialists, who research and report on the market dynamics, economic and business environment of the investment. The scope of these analyses ranges from the pre-investment swift “desk-top studies” to the in-depth field surveys and documented projections in a variety of areas, including the following:

• Industry economics and projections
• Product markets and marketing programs
• Regional reports and surveys
• Raw materials and product analyses
• Site location studies

The undertaking of these studies is facilitated by the maintenance of a comprehensive network of data and information internally and among our associates.

 

 

Investment Valuation

We focus in this analysis on a specific project or investment program. Our analysis covers capital and operating costs, production capacities, revenue projections, financing programs and the project’s overall financial and economic evaluation and financial planning.

Valuation also incorporates due diligence, review of business, economic, financial, legal, and marketing concepts as well as engineering and technical data.

Our Project Investment Evaluation services typically cover the following areas:

• Financial analysis  and  feasibility  appraisal
• Financial planning
• Risk and sensitivity analyses
• Inflation impact  projections
• Pricing studies

 

 

Project Financing Services

 
Subsequent to recommendations on the optimal financing structure of the investment project, we assist in identifying potential participants in the venture.

Our services in this field typically include one or more of the following:

• Identification of various funding sources
• Financial documentation and presentation
• Interfacing with banking and financial institutions
• Export credit and supplier financing
• Negotiations and funding agreements
• Loan administration and coordination during project execution.

In this perspective, we offer our clients an easy access to European, American, South East Asian, and Middle Eastern sources of funds with competitive pricing and efficient structuring.

 

Investment Co-ordination

 
As the case may be, we assist in private placements of equity capital, and in obtaining mezzanine financing and various debt instruments, depending on the type, magnitude and funding requirement of the project.

Subsequent to selecting the most appropriate financial structure, we provide co-ordination services among various investors in the project: Equity investors, investment banks, financial institutions, export finance agencies, and other sources.

Business Assessment, Diagnosis and Management Audit

 
We aim at assessing and detecting weak and strong elements that influence our clients’ business performance. We analyze, evaluate, review, and appraise the performance of the business in relation to either a set of predetermined standards or to some generally accepted rules or guidelines set by the client.

We also assist corporate clients in crafting strategic direction and plans that aim to rectify existing shortcoming and weaknesses.

 

Creating and Establishment of New Innovative Business

 
We strive to identify new and promising business opportunities in the Middle East, and the Arabian Gulf region. We focus mainly on achieving a smooth transfer of technology and know-how that is beneficial and rewarding to all the involved parties. The mechanism we usually rely on to achieve this end, is a balanced, well-construed, and efficient joint venture structure between local and foreign investors.

We also assist foreign companies willing to expand their business or markets into the region. We provide them with the precise information and recommendations about the best possible ways to establish presence in the region.
