Deal notes
-Third party trustee(fsa regulated and authorized) holds bond and first lien on plantation valued at 39 million and will take ownership should payments not be made.
-The bond issuer is already one of the largest operators in the area with over 1100 hectacres under management and over 350 employees.
-The founder started his business career in fashion and grew a company from scratch to 120 million in 6 years. Then founded a hedgefund and grew it from 5 million to 500 million.
-Bamboo is the fastest growing land plant on earth allowing for extremely quick returns on capital.
-Global timber trade is currently at 600 billion and growing.
-Bamboo can, and is, replacing traditional timber in almost every application because of it’s lower cost, better quality and lower enviornmental impact. In fact it sequesters 4 times the CO2 as timber and produces more O2
-Agricultural Ministry of India expects global demand to quadruple by 2015.
-All growth and sale models have been validated by Yale School of Tropical Forestry.
-US now imports the largest amount of Bamboo in the world and so locating in Central America gives company advantage over Asian competitors.
-The current world supply of Timber is compromised by unethical cultivation (30% of present worldwide timber production) and unsustainable methods (40%) thus Bamboo is the timber of choice for a cost and enviornmentally conscious world.
Bond issuer expects close to half the 6 million to be raised by mid november so if you are interested in deal number two and would like the entire 6 million then it would be in your interest to act quickly.
Thanks for taking a look. And I urge you to stick around as I have real estate(worldwide) oil and gas and a mining deals that might interest you.
