About

Fortrend is pleased to offer an innovation in financing for small-cap companies.  Fortrend’s Standby Subscription Facility allows your company to access capital over a 3 year period at a time of its choosing. The company can issue a “draw down” notice which obligates the Investor to buy shares at a small discount to the current market price. Some key attributes of the facility are:

 

• An ability to raise capital on an as needs basis with no risk of under subscription
   
• Cost effective to implement, with no upfront investment banking fees and an established legal structure
   
• Easy to administer, we leave you and your team to run the company
   
• No prospectus or investor road show necessary 
     
  Can be less dilutive to existing shareholders if you raise capital when your share price is strong
    
• Will increase liquidity in the market for your shares
   
• Gives your company negotiating power with creditors and business partners

 

Fortrend’s institutional dealing desk will then work closely with your company and the investment community over the term of the facility.  The facility has embedded mechanisms, which align our interests and goals.  We are all interested to see your company succeed, and to see gradual share price appreciation without undue volatility.
