         NEW BUSINESS AND PROJECT DEVELOPMENT

    International Development & Finance (IDF) helps companies to identify, evaluate, develop and implement  new
    international business and project opportunities.

    IDF assists clients in evaluating the key issues they will face in international business including:

  • economic and political risk.
  • the legal and regulatory framework.
  • investment, licensing and trading restrictions and regulations.
  • the quality of infrastructure, including electricity, water, raw materials, transportation and communication.
  • competition and corruption.
  • credit worthiness of clients, partners and counter-parties.
  • foreign currency and commodity price risk

    In today's difficult business environment it is even more important to select financially strong clients, partners and
    counter-parties.  Depending on circumstances, it is often beneficial to use investment, credit and political risk
    insurance to additionally mitigate the risks inherent in international business.

    IDF helps companies to identify, and then qualify clients, partners and counter-parties, through direct
    due diligence, and through cooperation with foreign commercial offices, banks and professional firms.  IDF is
    experienced in the use of in-country bank guarantees, export credit agency guarantees and insurance, and
    multilateral investment and political risk insurance programs.

    Once clients, partners and counter-parties have been identified and selected, IDF helps companies to reach
    viable and lasting commercial agreements with those parties, and to structure appropriate corporate, trade and
    project financing and related transactions as needed.
