A Market Trained To Invest In Foreign Equities (US, Canadian, UK, Australia, South Africa, China)

With growing internationalization and consolidation pressure in the European Stock Exchanges such as the OMX NASDAQ, NYSE Euronext and Deutsche Boerse, Borse Berlin has pursued a successful niche strategy since the mid-nineties, with a particular focus on trading the widest possible range of foreign stocks. The German speaking euro-economic market accepted widely this proposition which allowed them to trade foreign companies stocks whether primary or dual listed on a local exchange, with immediate trading and fast order taking, affordable trading and easy to use platforms for their local market. Thus, the Berlin Stock Exchange developed a subscription of investors who utlize their platform for investment and trades. The success is apparent by the increase in trades and the growth of the market. Therefore, as a newly listed firm on the Berlin Stock Exchange, there is an actively trading equities market looking to invest in foreign firms. The strong trading market of over 100 million population is very attractive for foreign companies looking to go public, especially from the US, Canada, China, Vietnam, Philippines, Asia in general, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Ghana, Nigeria, Africa in general, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, South America in general, Guatemala, Honduaras, Columbia, Dominican Republic, Mexico, Spain, Poland, Romania, Croatia, Italy, the EU in general, the UK, Ireland, Russia, Ukraine, and India.

The Börse Berlin Stock Exchange has secondary stock listings for over 6,000 US securities normally listed on the NYSE, NASDAQ, AMEX, OTCBB, and pink sheet markets. In September 2007 Börse Berlin AG, operator of one of Germanys oldest stock exchanges, acquired control over London based Equiduct Systems in order to offer new state-of-the art stock exchange services to financial institutions trading in the European markets.

With this acquisition, Börse Berlin became a 323 year old “start up” introducing Equiduct as a sophisticated trading platform launched on 20 March 2009.”

The Berlin Stock Exchange is open to new business with relatively relaxed requirements that allow for your firm to list in 2-3 weeks.

Berlin Stock Exchange Listings

The capital markets are definitely unforgiving with changing regulations, changing listing requirements, and changing exemptions but the only unchanged consistency over all for small businesses raising money to go public on a stock exchange is getting “sophisticated investors” interested in your firm.

Every jurisdiction may not have exactly the same name or the same criteria, but what is common is that there is an exemption for investors who qualify. These are sophisticated, accredited, qualified, and high net worth investors.

Within the United Kingdom, there is one FSA regulated database called the Qualified Investor Register, which takes the self-certified documentation and stores this information for regulated and unregulated offerings to refer to as a way to “categorize” the type of investor they solicited. However the database itself is not allowed to be used for solicitation.

In all of our research there has actually only been one database privately held that assists Qualified and Sophisticated Investors. The two websites based on the different terms are http://www.sophisticatedinvestorregister.com and http://www.qualifiedinvestorregister.com.

We highly recommend going to one of these websites and seeing if you qualify. A private database for registering your self-certification will allow for in the future firms like Facebook, or LinkedIn, or other major IPOs to have the right and legal ability to contact you.

Most people miss the high profile IPOs because they are not certified and or recognized reasonably as being “sophisticated” even though they do qualify.

I suggest going and seeing if you qualify today at http://www.sophisticatedinvestorregister.com.

Again, the benefit is access to a pretty exclusive club of investor opportunities that only self-certified sophisticated, accredited, and qualified investors can access.

For companies, the sophisticated investor register opens up the opportunity of being able to contact potential investors under a universal exemption. This exemption immediately can add your profile to fund managers, brokers, and IPO experts who make exclusive offerings, but cannot without certification. As part of the service, you receive a QR Code – Identification system, an official certificate to be signed and faxed back into the register, and free filing of your information with local government databases.

IF YOU HAVEN’T JOINED THE SOPHISTICATED INVESTOR REGISTER THAN YOU WILL NOT KNOW WHAT MAJOR IPO YOU ARE MISSING!

Qualify for major IPOS if you are a US, American, Canadian, Australian, Hong Kong, New Zealand, Chinese, Indian, EU, Latin American, Central American or UK Sophisticated Investor you need to certify today! If you are not sure, qualify and we will get the proper documentation for becoming part of the register!

US Accredited and Sophisticated Investors. In the United States Securities Commission (SEC) definitions of an accredited investor the most common classification that people actually are include a natural person with an annual income of over $200,000 in each of the two most recent years or joint income with a spouse exceeding $300,000 or net worth or joint net worth exceeding $1 million USD excluding the value of primary residence. However, there are definitions for trusts, business directors of the issuer, employee plans, retirement plans, and trusts that also make up this definition. (http://www.sec.gov/answers/accred.htm)

We do encourage small business owners, trusts with assets over $5 million, banks, insurance companies, business development companies and small business investment companies to register as well. The point of registering is to keep record of your ability to participate in offerings you would and could qualify for. This is an invaluable free service by http://www.sophisticatedinvestorregister.com.

Canadian Sophisticated – Accredited Investors. As a Canadian, the terms are pretty general across Canada for Accredited Canadian Investors. In Ontario Canada, this exemption extends to $1 million in financial assets or net worth of $5 million. One of the particular point is of course persons the OSC recognizes as an accredited investor, which again brings us back to certifications inside of a database that has collected your data as a third party to verify and file with local authorities if required or part of a subscription or offering. (http://www.osc.gov.on.ca/en/21943.htm) Most of the Canadian Accredited Investor jurisdictions are similar to that of Ontario with a few small differences in definitions of assets. See if you are qualified as a Canadian Investor.

As a registered accredited, sophisticated, and high net worth investor, you can generally invest as much as you want to as long as you the primary and principal investor are certified.

Australian Sophisticated, Professional Investor. Within the Australia Sophisticated Investor registration process, the caveats are a little stronger with a requirement of an auditor to give proof of net worth of $2.5 million or two consecutive years of $250,000 per annum. Otherwise, it is defined by the investments size of over $500,000. The most common exemption is generally the professional investor in Australia, of which again there is not a reliable database accept for through www.qualifiedinvestorregister.com. Australian Investors should register themselves, companies, and or status to see if they can take part in international IPOs through this exemption.

Hong Kong Sophisticated Professional Investor. Within the Hong Kong sophisticated professional investor definitions, a high net-worth individual has one of the following, a portfolio of not less than HK$ 8millon, corporations or partnerships or trustee companies with portfolios of that size or total assets of HK$40 million, or corporations that solely act as investment holding companies, and owned by a sophisticated professional investor. As a Hong Kong professional I suggest seeing if you qualify today for the Sophisticated Investor Register. (http://www.sophisticatedinvestorregister.com)

UK Sophisticated Investor – Qualified Investor – High Net Worth Investor. As a UK Sophisticated, High Net Worth, Qualified Investor,within the UK definitions of a sophisticated investor, the register is extremely important, especially for Unregulated Collective Investment Schemes where by the company can’t both market and sell to a sophisticated investor that they the fund certified. Having the persons go to a third party first for certification, such as the http://www.sophisticatedinvestorregister.com allows for the promoters of a UCIS to send their investors to register first through the “third party” and return with the certification to invest within the collective investment scheme. Therefore all firms working with UCIS projects should send their investors to the register to ensure they don’t fall foul of Artcile 23 PCIS Order. It is the responsibility of the provider and distributor to send them to this third party register to return to the investment scheme and make a placement.

UK Investors who wish to take advantage of major foreign and local IPOs should consider certifying through a register so that they fully comprehend the risks and benefits. A sophisticated and qualified investor must update their certificate on a 12 month cycle. The Sophisticated Investor Register reminds and keeps informed the register members to ensure this information is kept up to date by the member and they re-certify annually.

The “high net worth” and “sophisticated investor used to be made by a third party and it became apparent that the exemptions were being rarely used due to their being a lack of a registry and cost of the process. This undermined the investors from having the opportunity to take part in IPOs and investments and effected the intention which was to raise funds through private equity from business angels for IPOs and small business. In the UK, a high net worth individual must certify the annual income must is in access of 100,000 GBP, net assets in excess of 250,000 GBP excluding primary residence, insurance, and pension policies. As a sophisticated investor, the potential investor has to certify if they are a member of a network or syndicate of business angels for the last 6 months, has made more than one investment in an unlisted company in the previous two years, has worked in the previous two years in a professional capacity in the private equity sectors or in the provision of finance for small or medium sized companies, or has been in the previous two years a director of a company with an annual turnover of at least 1 million GBP.

How best to qualify for 5 million euro in financing with your Frankfurt Stock Exchange Listings

Many firms ask what is the best way to qualify for 5 million euro in financing on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, it’s actually much easier than you think.

1. List with a reputable firm like FSE Listings Inc, work with either Robert Russell or one of the 30 member partners who have been referred by Robert within your region
2. Work with a third party valuation company recommended by FSE Listings who is registered with a large EU Bank or Central Bank that is certified to give opinions on valuations, not just an accountant or arbitrary legal opinion by some small Frankurt listings law oriented firm or small US or German law firms – BANK BACKED OPINIONS GET YOU MONEY AND CREDIBILITY!
3. Prepare all of the documentation so that all documents, contracts, investments, and transactions can be reviewed at a later date for building a prospectus

These three principles will allow you to qualify for Bond financing for up to 5 million euro or private placement offerings of 5 million euro and possibly more.

Bond Creation for 5 million euro via your Frankfurt Stock Exchange Listings

Before listing, your firm can know if it qualifies for the financing by contacting FSE Listings Inc and filling in all the required documents of a new client for listing and creation of bonds.  By emailing info@fselistings.com and simply informing them you are interested in the financing, they will over a 5 day period confirm your corporate structure, plan, goals, cashflow, and business model with an insurance firm and third party valuation company. If qualified, a firm can list with the confidence of getting financed!

Private Placements and Investor Awareness of 5 million euro for your Frankfurt Listing

With the third party valuation, the proper structure, and guidance of a registered broker dealer, a firm will have all the information necessary to produce a prospectus. With investor relations, media, and broker support, firms can offer shares which enable financing after listing on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. It is very important that you work with a team specializing in sophisticated investors interested in your target market.  Financing your firm will be within your control as either direct or broker based financing is enabled through the web, roadshows, media, public relations, and full use of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange website’s tools.

Don’t let the consultants dilute your firm, talk to us first!

Firstly we don’t take a percentage of your firm.

If you are working with a consultant that wants to take a percentage of your firm, talk to us first. They limit your growth because most financers and investors when reviewing your structure will likely not want to invest knowing the promoters have managed to leech shares from your structure without the proper hold-up or restrictions in place for your business plan to materialize. In addition, they will likely advise you that they can get a 50-100 million euro market cap for your firm… but you may be worth more. In addition, they hide the value of the shares because their listing fees are minimal, but they make millions off your naïve experience. Why let their bad advice block the potential market cap that your firm deserves based on third party valuations from other EU Banks or parties certified by a Bank, and a team who works for you as a paid for service consultant versus an unwanted partner?

Most going public firms will cap your market capitalization at 100 million issued and outstanding shares, but these firms usually don’t take careful consideration of what the real value of your firm is, often undervaluing your assets making it more difficult for you to issue shares later.

FSE Listings: Why list on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange with FSE Listings and Issue Bonds versus working with Equity Placement firms, Equity Lines or Equity Capital Partners

Initially one needs to understand the cost to a company of taking shareholder equity. By committing to Equity Placement firms and or Equity Line holders shares of the firm, you are giving them a direct claim to your firms profits proportionate to their investment and holding of your firm. Therefore, you as a company need to consider:

The Real Cost Of Money – The cost of issuing shares is higher in the long-term than that of developing a debt instrument such as a bond. For example, the limitation of a Bond with a 10% yield, a shareholder is limitless based on a portion ownership of your firms growth. A Bond may be over 5 years, and the capital invested increases your capacity by 50%, so the funds in place are justifiable for the coupon payment of 10%. After 5 years, your firm earns all the profits of the decision made. With shares and shareholders, as long as there are shareholders, they have a right to the profits of the company ongoing. Often companies underestimate the real costs to gain the shareholders, which are in short the immediate and ongoing cost of legal, accounting, financial advisory, governance and corporate professionals such as brokers, bankers, and sponsors. In the current markets, these costs can absorb up to 50% of funds raised in an IPO, and sometimes they are costs that exceed the capital raised directly related to their services. Often, after the exercise of writing a prospectus and preparing your firm to raise capital, the capital raising in the private equity market depends on your ability to help raise money and pay attention to the shareholders and potential investors to gain the investment. The time consuming exercise deteriorates even some of the strongest businesses as the focus is on capital and not the company management and profitability during that timeframe. This is a high cost.

Loss of Control – The Company loses control to make decisions as it is required to consult with the shareholders of the Company. This is a difficult choice for entrepreneurs, and it is even more difficult when trying to set the today value of the dreams, aspirations, and blue sky of a firm to an investor. Often private equity involves losing more control than debt of the operations and decision making of a company.

Downward Pressure on the firm’s value – Go public and merger law related firms, or firms who offer equity lines of credit, convertible debentures, and private placement services at a discount of your share price create pressure on your stock and companies value. Especially the Bridge Loan programs for listing on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, whereby they take their 5% of the shares and sell them into the market or at a discount to shareholders who liquidate based on emotion as they have no relationship with your firm and its success. Equity line firms strive on being issued shares for no upfront cash over a 15 day period or more so that they can sell shares into your market pushing down the stock value and bid so they can make more profit, of up to 50-90% in some cases. These PIPEs, Debt Financing, and special purpose private equity placements are toxic to companies who want to raise additional capital as their company value is driven down to pennies and control is ultimately diluted both in voting power and in their ability to raise and attract interest of capital. Beware of the equity partners and capital firms who offer Equity Lines, Private Placement, Bridge Capital, and Financing options prelisting of your firm. The most illiquid moment of a company is prelisting, and therefore, the owner of such a document actually has control of your firm before giving you a dime. The ability to apply pressure to anyone’s share price in our opinion is the ability to control someones firm. Bridge Loan (Sharks) and joker brokers who assist firms who do not have the 60k euro to list on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange prey on unsuspecting firms for their 5%+ of your deal and reputation to take advantage of your firm once it is listed. Don’t fall into the penny stock pump and dump scenario by avoiding these kinds of partners from the beginning. In addition, these firms may disguise their tactics by promising stock promotions of which you will be able to liquidate your shares and or your shareholders will be able to liquidate their shares into a vibrant market. We receive 5-10 phone calls per week from these types of stock promoter and bridge capital firms who are trying to sell their shares privately and exit the company. Their interest is not in your firm or your share price, its exiting their position. Be vigilant about who you choose as your partners, and before you choose anyone, get the advice of FSE Listings Inc as to their professional reputation by contacting www.fselistings.com.

Effects on the Balance Sheet and Financials

Dividends are paid from after-tax earnings, bond payments and interest payments are tax deductible. This affects the relative costs to the company of financing by issuing interest-based securities and financing through ordinary shares.

Everyone always thinks about listing a firm and raising private equity capital, however, public company shares are just the ability to offer shares and liquidate shares in a public arena. Thus, it gives a cash flow value to the shares of the company. Unlike private company shares that generally have no cash flow value. By listing your firm on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, your shares have cash value to insurance firms and debtors, who will develop a corporate securitized bond collateralized by the cash flow and assets of the company.

The Benefits of the Bond and Frankfurt Listing:

• No loss of control
• Interest and Coupon Payments that are tax
  deductible, not from after tax earnings
• Limiting the claim to the companies prosperity
  to rate of interest or coupon payments versus a shareholder claim of the
  profits (the true cost of money)
• Access to the full amount of capital required
• No downward pressure on your share value or
  market

If an investment in your firm could double capacity or greater over the next 5 years projections of your firm, you should be considering building a Bond and Frankfurt Listing with FSE Listings Robert Russell, Russell@fselistings.com. Contact us to see if you qualify by filling-out our documents and obtaining a
free pre-valuation of your firm!

FSE Listings: How to list your firm on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange for the greatest success for your Frankfurt Listings

With stock market experience going back as far as the 1980’s, our management team have seen their fair share of success stories and disasters in financial markets. My mother once told me, if you don’t have something good to say, don’t say it at all. However, the recipes for disaster have usually been associated to individuals and companies looking to go public with fse listings now but are not prepared. Preparation is more than just documentation, it is knowing what you want to give up, and what you don’t want to, and understanding the cost of money and decisions now and in the future. Sounds pretty general, but let me get really specific:

1. Don’t give equity in your firm to individuals who claim they will list your firm with bridge capital, make it debt not equity. If you allow equity to a listing firm, its for selling, and this can push your stock price below the value to enable you to raise capital. So the hint here, is accept debt, but not equity.
2. Do not go into Equity Lines of Credit that promise to give you money after listing. After listing is the most illiquid moment in time for any public company, if you need money, Equity Lines are not the way to go. If you just listed, again, you want to leverage your stock for debt instruments as collateral that does not get sold. Many of these so called “Equity Lines” or “Special Options” are based on VWAP, volume weighted average pricing based on the lowest bid. In addition, they get your stock to sell, averaging out 40-70% commission for them when hitting the bid of your firm. Some say they will give you a floor, but that’s a trick. Because a floor means they don’t have to pay you once they hit the floor, so no money. The whole exercise again is about you giving away equity that hurts your market. Equity Lines of Credit kill your business and market. Don’t do equity lines of credit, they are another example of giving away equity in early companies. If you have a company trading in excess of 100,000 shares a day, possibly it could work for your firm, but don’t sign anything until you have a market or you will crush your firm in the wrong hands.
3. Do not give out a block of shares to persons who promise to raise money and do stock promotions. This is an oxymoron. Stock promotions generally increase the float of your market and put pressure on the stock of the company. Most of these going public, merger law, types actually over charge for listing costs which is between 60-75k, without ever completing their services as a promoter. In the finance world it’s the sour thumb approach, or pain in the back we call it, where they have taken 5% or more of your firm without producing much more than the listing, with no pressure to complete the raise of funds, and in essence these culprits leak shares into your market making it weak and volatile until you simply make them an offer to buy them out, or continue to suffer into failure. Most of these are bridge capital offers, and place you in an unfair position of pushing uphill your own stock and capital markets as a group so they can make a profit for very little and cause the downhill capital pressure.

The best way to list your firm on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange

You are probably asking yourself, what do I do now that FSE Listings Inc has told us, don’t use firms who offer bridge capital for equity (contact me if you don’t understand why yet at info@fselistings.com), don’t give away free stock to promoters, don’t use equity lines of credit on new or unlisted firms, don’t give blocks of shares away unless you are getting paid, try your best not to “Give Up Equity” in the beginning of starting your firm, and try to restrict current shareholders until 6-12 months after listing if at all possible.

I am glad you asked, because it’s going to seem so easy, you will wonder why everyone doesn’t list with FSE Listings Inc. when the entire market knows what the competition does to unsuspecting entrepreneurs like yourself.

1. Build a corporate structure that has the right articles to protect the control of your firm, gives the leverage to issue ordinary shares, restricted shares, preferred shares, bonds, etc.
2. Pay the costs of listing or borrow the funds as debt, but do not give up any equity to anyone unless its capital in the Bank. There is a cost to money, if your firm is going to be a 50 million euro firm, 5% is 2.5 million euro… and there needs to be that much buying to keep a stable stock price. So… borrow the money, don’t give away bits of your firm unless it’s for 2.5 million euro in cash.
3. Put together with Deutsche Capital Partners AG a series of stock options for example par value of 0.10, 0.20, etc. Have them prepared for the purpose of raising capital for the company, and have them approved by the Board.
4. Complete an IM or Prospectus if you would like to use the Options method
5. Fill-in the Deutsche Capital Partners Client Questions, supply the business plan, and financials to qualify for corporate bonds to raise capital. (No prospectus required for the Bonds which are 125k euro per unit.) Bonds are debt versus equity! Keep control of your firm.
6. Utilize the Frankfurt Stock Exchange Listings recommended market maker for ensuring that your market has awareness and daily trading volume in Units to ensure it meets the market requirements.
7. Possibly look at different classes of shares, such as 12-24 month restrictions for start up firms, for current and future shareholders to avoid “emotion” driving your initial market listing pricing and corporate valuation
8. Launch the FSE Listings Inc lead generation and investor relations program if you are raising capital based on the IM
9. Launch the Private Growth Share Vision report and promotions, Roadshows, and institutional financing campaign for the Bonds
10. Utilize the Bond financing to make further acquisitions and grow your firm, all available because you have built a Frankfurt Listing with FSE Listings Inc.

If you follow our advice and work closely with FSE Listings Inc and its consortium to deliver the services above, your firm should be able to raise anywhere from 1-300 million euro, maintain control of your firm and the public listing, not have to worry about people selling Frankfurt listed shares they received for services into your healthy vibrant trading public company, but rather paying back bonds and funds to have complete control of your firm when you go public successfully. Become a public company success story on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange.

I would advise listing with FSE Listings Inc by contacting the listings specialist Robert Russell, Russell@fselistings.com.

The Time Is Now to Invest In South Africa and Africa in General

Africa has seen an enormous increase in investment capital in the last 5 years, and more money means more building. One of the bitter ironies of the global financial crisis is that even the most risk-averse institutional investors who sustained devastating losts focusing on developed markets have been taking more risks in search of growth rates that are hard to find in Europe and the US.

Private capital flows to emerging markets will balloon to $833 billion this year from $581 billion in 2009, according to the Washington-­based Institute of International Finance.

World Bank Vice President for Africa Obiageli Ezekwesili a few weeks past said from the London Stock Exchange, that investors worldwide need to invest in Africa and its budding capital markets. She urged investors who are in search of the right market at a time of growing fears of a global recession to “rediscover Africa”.

The reaility is that she is right, and that from Bonds, Debts, Equity Placements, and solid domestic products, Africa is in for a Boom Market.

Africa is experiencing GDP growth rates, and the projections are to increase year on year roughly 5%  or more to 2013. Building African focused businesses and listing African based companies on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange is one of the best routes to go as the focus is on Africa Capital Markets while other markets go into their worst quarters and Africa are among the best returns on investment. South Africa continues to be the strong growth market in Africa, with the Sub Saharan-Africa being an attractive market to invest in, including Uganda, Tanzania, and Nigeria.

Oxford University Professor, Paul Collier, which found the return on capital for over 950 African enterprises to be on the average 11 percent higher than in Latin America and Asia, and 70 percent more profitable if compared against similar Chinese firms.

When is the best time for African companies to go public and gain global awareness and access to capital? When you are winning the beauty contest in capital markets, and now is the time to list your African businesses more than anytime before.

African investment opportunities are ideal for European Investment markets, who are familiar with having made more capital investments into Africa directly in the past. In addition, China and Korea are investing heavily in Africa. The most common market with the largest cross section of investors from Foreign Markets is the NYSE-Deutsche Boerse Group and the Frankfurt Stock Exchange of which the group owns.

Why the Big African Boom?

Deregulations in the emerging markets in general starting in the 1990’s has lead to friendlier and more profitable markets of which businesses, consumers, investors, and development partners are bullish. Changes in policies, from reserve controls and foreign ownership to methods of protecting foreign investors through insurance and bonds, developing Countries and Africa are seeing more money.

More money means more building. Building of businesses, building of infrastructure, building of educated workforces, creation of jobs, and access to resources and growth; Africa has the building blocks.

African stock markets however still have limited liquidity and relative small size, African companies and South African companies need to look beyond just Africa and look to Frankfurt for primary and or dual listing of their firms to take advantage of the boom and momentum of international investment focus on Africa.

It is true African Stock Exchange, with the exception of the Johannesburg Stock Exchange have been doubling their market capitalization from 1992 to 2002, with markets like Lagos Stock Exchange bullishly boasting plans to bring its capitalization of $40 billion to $1 trillion in five years.

However, it is difficult to look past the illiquid markets of African Capital Markets compared to the liquid Private Equity investments into African companies listed on Foreign markets.

Africa has invested in change, now is the time to change the investors mind and bring the foreign capital in to the structure that has been built for them.

Opportunities are abundant for:

-          Agriculture, agribusiness, agro-processing

-          Infrastructure development and construction, transportation, and logistics

-          Resources and Energy

-          Upgrade and penetration within the ICT sector, expanded broadband, mobile networks, banking, and internet access

-          Business to business services

-          Water purification, desalination, and transmission

Africa has the distinct opportunity of luring some of the 85-90 million labor intensive jobs in light manufacturing that China will likely move offshore in the next 3-5 years from wage pressure.

Africa is not afraid to make public capital investments and utilize aid funds to enable reforms and capital infusions into telecommunications, infrastructure, and logistics so that private capital can help turn the loss-making progress initiatives into profitable projects taken to their full capacity of capital earnings.

Why Invest In South African Businesses and Trade?

In this global market, there has been a great deal of attention given to the African footprint of the BRIC economies and the fact that South Africa is the predestined main trade, investment, and political partner for Sub-Saharan Africa. It’s economic structure, location, participation in multilateral trade agreements (SADC Region), and stable domestic capital market are the favorable conditions South Africa brings to the table.

In addition, the rest of Africa believes this rumor, and it’s a good one. In actual fact, much of the Entrepreneurship in the African Continent at one time or another has seeked capital within South Africa, traded with South Africa, or has looked at opportunities to grow into South Africa. South Africa trades with Africa, providing technology intensive product and receiving resource-based products in return.

Further harmonization between the SADC and the Common Market for East and Southern Africa and the East African Community will only continue to grow the opportunities.

High growth markets of African Countries or projects focusing on feeding the South African business opportunities include:

-          Energy companies and the supply of energy to South Africa

-          Oil, precious stones, base metals

-          Agricultural products

In general, African investments into these sectors are stable for both domestic and international consumption.

South Africa profits from the relationships in its neighboring markets though specialized manufacturing, machinery, vehicles and electronics, and to some smaller degree oil and agricultural products. South Africa tends to cater to African tastes for customized machinery, and this extends their growth into the markets, despite international competitors.

As mentioned prior, the booms happen years after and during deregulation and friendlier business environments that are the disruptive changes in economics that allow for higher returns than other markets globally. Some good suggest that plans for this Africa-wide free trade area covering 26 nations as negotiations continued and the structure eventually may unfold, that this could be a positive change to further create the boom in Pan-African business opportunities. This continent is no longer an emerging market by definition, but rather a Frontier market with young populations, high growth, and diversity.

With this high growth potential, Financial Services companies within South Africa and Africa in general will become attractive investments, as suggested by the World Bank Vice President who pushed on London for investment into Africa’s Capital Markets. The opportunities need to be financed and steered so that the growth is manageable and effective. Public company vehicles also allow for good governance, process, and status internationally. Listing your firm on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange or your business opportunity gives the company access to much needed capital from foreign markets.

In our opinion, South African businesses are the likely port of entry for investors interested in the continent, despite other emerging markets or the local Capital Markets. The businesses themselves, the equity, and the secured investments. In order to access capital, secured and insured investments, and international exposure, the Frankfurt is one of the leading sources for your firm to reach all three.
