At Assecurit, we specialise in creating innovative funding solutions that empower small companies to achieve their growth potential. By converting project assets into financial instruments, we bridge the gap between entrepreneurs and private investors, providing a flexible and sustainable path to capital that goes beyond traditional private equity.

Unlocking the Value of Assets

Assets form the cornerstone of our alternative funding solutions. But what qualifies as an asset? In our approach, assets include tangible and intangible resources that generate or are tied to predictable revenue streams. This can range from physical properties such as land and buildings to intangible assets like long-term contracts, intellectual property, or even energy production systems. The key lies in their ability to produce consistent and measurable cash flows that can underpin financial instruments.

Revenue Streams: The Backbone of Financial Instruments

To transform an asset into a viable financial instrument, the presence of steady revenue streams is crucial. These revenue streams provide the stability and predictability needed to attract private investors. Common examples include:

1. Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs)

Renewable energy projects, such as solar or wind farms, often rely on Power Purchase Agreements. These are long-term contracts where energy buyers agree to purchase electricity at a fixed rate. Such agreements are highly valued as they offer consistent revenues tied to sustainable initiatives.

2. Long Lease Agreements

Commercial properties with long-term leases provide predictable rental income. This steady flow of revenue makes the asset ideal for securitisation, offering investors a clear view of future returns.

3. Hybrid Guaranteed Management Agreements

Particularly relevant in sectors like hospitality and leisure, these agreements combine fixed and variable revenue streams, offering stability with the potential for growth. They provide a hybrid model where a portion of the revenue is guaranteed, enhancing the asset’s appeal to investors.

Sustainable Energy Systems: A Growing Opportunity

The rise of sustainable energy has opened up new avenues for funding through asset-backed financial instruments. Systems such as solar panels, wind turbines, and other energy-producing setups not only contribute to environmental sustainability but also serve as valuable assets for financing. These systems often come with long-term PPAs or other contractual agreements ensuring consistent revenue, making them highly attractive for securitisation.

For instance, a small company operating a solar farm can convert its energy production system into a financial instrument by leveraging the PPA tied to the project. This allows the company to access growth capital without diluting ownership or relying solely on equity investors.

Benefits of Alternative Funding Solutions

Our approach to alternative funding offers several advantages:

1. Access to Growth Capital

Small companies can unlock significant capital without the need for traditional private equity. This preserves ownership and allows businesses to focus on their vision.

2. Increased Flexibility

Unlike rigid loan structures, asset-backed financial instruments provide tailored solutions that align with a company’s specific needs and cash flow patterns.

3. Enhanced Investor Confidence

The securitisation of assets backed by stable revenue streams provides transparency and security for investors, fostering trust and encouraging investment.

4. Sustainability Alignment

By focusing on renewable energy projects and other sustainable initiatives, companies can align their funding strategies with global ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) trends, attracting socially responsible investors.
