Our
key advantage is a wide network of partner institutions, including
universities, institutes, technology parks, incubators, renowned

RSG
Capital also co-operates with a business angels' club organized within
association Young Executives Society, expanding our services to the
companies not yet interesting for institutional investors such as Prvi
sklad.
Convertible loan
Convertible
loans are available for projects where RSG Capital is willing to share
the risk, but investment in equity is not possible for different
reasons. Therefore, a company can obtain a loan which can be converted
into equity if agreed upon milestones are achieved. Milestones and
shareholding offered for the amount being converted are agreed in
advance. In case milestones are not achieved, the loan is repaid.
Bridge financing and payment of specific costs of a project
Fast
growing companies in early stage often face liquidity problems. When a
company has difficulties in financing materials, semi-products,
development costs and similar, RSG Capital is able to provide bridge
financing. This particular service is available when there are
relatively reliable future cash flows, but at the same time, a company
is not eligible for traditional debt financing.
Similar
to bridge financing, RSG Capital can finance parts of the project which
are essential for successful launch, such as IPR registration,
different permissions and other costs slowing down project development
and successful market entry. After agreed upon activities within the
project are carried out successfully, the costs temporarily covered by
RSG Capital are repaid, along with previously defined fee.
Fundraising
Optimal
structure of internal and external sources of financing is often a
dilemma of an entrepreneur, since it actually represents trade-off
between control over the company and its accelerated growth supported
by external financing sources. Based on its experience in financial
markets, RSG Capital can offer expert advice in finding the appropriate
structure of financial sources and introduce entrepreneurs to providers
of funds.
RSG
Capital works closely with business angels, venture capital funds and
debt financing providers and is thus well positioned to assist in
finding optimal funding structure for a particular project.
Furthermore, RSG Capital assists in preparation of projects attempting
to raise finance from EU or other international funds.
Advisory in project structuring and project management
Entrepreneurs
with lack of experience in certain business areas are offered expert
advice in the areas of financing, marketing and organization. RSG
Capital co-operates with a number of renowned external experts in these
areas, enhancing the quality of its services.
