Throughout its history, Equity commercial Bank has completed numerous direct investments across different sectors and geographies. In 2001, Direct Investments was officially launched as the primary platform for Equity commercial Bank's long term principal investing activity and as part of the firm's strategic refocus on becoming the preferred investment partner in Asia. Equity commercial Bank provides medium-to long-term debt financing through loans and guaranties to eligible investments in many countries and emerging markets. By complementing the private sector, Equity commercial Bank can provide financing in countries where conventional commercial institutions often are reluctant or unable to lend. Our Debt financing package for startups can take a variety of forms and, depending on the form and source of financing, may co-exist with equity investment in your business. Debt can be used to benefit all shareholders, including founders and investors, to fund the growth of the business without further diluting the ownership position of the existing shareholders.

Most early-stage startups cannot borrow from traditional sources, such as banks and commercial institutions, because they do not have a track record of cash flow or liquid assets to make required loan and interest payments. Banks and other lending institutions will not secure a debt based solely on a company's intellectual property (IP), which is a real challenge for early-stage technology companies. Equity commercial Bank can meet the long-term capital investment financing needs of any size business in a wide variety of industries such as information technology, health care, Oil & Gas, Education, infrastructure, telecommunications, commercial services, housing, and agrobusiness. The majority of Equity commercial Bank's financing is used to cover the capital cost - such as design/engineering services, facility construction or leasehold improvements, and equipment - associated with the establishment or expansion of the project.

For owners wishing to maintain 100% control of their business, yet needing capital to fund growth requirements or pursue acquisitions, debt financing is a preferred option. We assist such clients by matching the financing needs of our clients to those of debt capital sources, and preparing our clients to fully meet lender's exacting requirements. Many of our clients are frustrated with less than ideal service from their local bank. Whatever level of financing you need to help pursue your commercial goals, you'll find it at Equity commercial Bank. We deliver an extensive array of commercial services to empower your business plan.
