SSGI wants to be the financial partner to successful business ventures. To ensure successful partnerships, SSGI private capital division seeks investment opportunities where management's objectives align with our own.
Working relationships are very important to any venture we join. We seek to cultivate an environment of mutual trust and respect, freeing management to focus on the growth of the business. It is our desire for management to maintain a controlling equity participation, thereby, providing a motivating interest to increase shareholder value.

Support:
The Diverse strengths of the SSGI group provide our business venture partners with a wide range of support options to ensure success in today's competitive environment both domestically and internationally. Some of these options include bridge financing, mergers and acquisitions, management buy-outs as well as many other financial strategies.
Capital Needs:
SSGI's private equity division seeks opportunities to invest from $100,000 to $25,000,000 in any one company. Capital needs in excess of $25,000,000 in any one company are joint ventured with our financial partners. We prefer to invest in businesses that have at least 1 - 3 years of operating results and operating revenues. We invest as either a minority or majority investor. Both equity and debt capital is available. Our focus is not on quarter to quarter results, but rather achieving business plan objectives and exceptional long-term growth. Will we invest in startup companies? Yes!
The exact form and composition of our investments vary according to the nature of our client, whether they are a public or private company as well as other factors. Some examples of our investments would include long-term equity financing: common stock, restricted shares, convertible preferred shares, options and warrants; long-term mezzanine financing: subordinated or junior debt convertible into common stock or subordinated debt with equity warrants; bridge financing: Interim equity or debt to be redeemed or repaid within 18 months.
SSGI Excellence:
SSGI private capital division matches entrepreneurial flexibility with creatively tailored financing. The use of internal funds allows us to be extremely adaptive in deal structure and duration.
As a strategic investor, we expect management to operate the business with a high degree of independence. We can, however, assist with strategic planning, financial support, open doors worldwide, and provide insightful guidance at critical junctures. This preserves the high degree of operating autonomy needed to succeed in today's dynamic global markets while flexibly applying SSGI's many advantages.
The Solutions:
These many capabilities enable SSGI's private capital division to responsively create financial solutions for complex transactions. Access to these varied funds from a single source provides far more flexible, time efficient and cost-effective financing.
Capital Raising Services:
SSGI has been engaged for at least three different levels of strategic capital raising assistance. These service levels can best be described as introductions, mid-level support, and full support. Fees range for 1% to 7% of capital raised along with a retainer relationship to cover the value of time of the firm's executives. Click on the printer icon on the right for more details.
SSGI has accepted board memberships, stock options, and restricted shares of both public and private companies. Please feel free to discuss these opportunities with any SSGI Principal or CEO-in-Residence.
