Banks provide debt financing and business loans and most conservatively seek to secure the loan with premium collateral. In return, they seek a modest return and charge a modest handling fee.
I would like to get to know Firms who are willing to legally do debt financing (eg. junk bonds or collateralized debt) in a situtation where the collateral and company may not be so straight forward or conservative. I already know of a few sources, some more conservative than others; however, I am looking for firms who may have more aggressive and flexible requirements and who ideally can do business in Asia.
Thus, I am not looking for the normal Tier 1 banks as they are the conservative ones. I am also not looking for illegal loan sharks. I'm looking for those who are risk takers where they would like to invest their money in attractive new businesses that may not yet have revenue or profit, but would like to do invest (equity) or ideally do debt since debt may provide safer recourse.
Any recommended contacts would be greatly appreciated. Of course, if you have deals as well, I'd be interested.
