Using distributions
25
Your capital has a purpose. The structure should start there.
Define the purpose of your capital before choosing a funding structure, from acquisitions and business growth to asset ownership.
31
One capital position, several destinations: how the hybrid approach works
A client can arrive with cash and a project, yet leave the first discussion with a much more useful question: which part of the capital needs to do what?
67
Running more than one route: keeping every allocation clear
A client may have more than one objective: maintain a programme allocation, fund an acquisition and keep a reserve available.
68
Who receives the output? Agree the allocation before activation
A proposed funding structure can look attractive until the parties realise they have different understandings of who receives the output.
62
From qualifying capital to realised distributions
The phrase “programme output” is more useful when the reader can follow the steps behind it.
49
Keep output in USDT: a treasury decision with a defined purpose
Taking a distribution does not always mean converting it immediately into a bank currency.
56
Treasury reserves: decide what to spend and what to retain
Plan treasury reserves around spending needs, accessible funds and explicit reinvestment decisions before allocating programme distributions.
66
Compounding: decide when the business actually needs the money
A client wants to build an allocation and also begin funding a project as soon as possible.
42
USDT output to project cash: connect the distribution to the milestone
A project budget is usually expressed in milestones. A programme statement is usually expressed in balances and distributions.
Funding projects and businesses
24
You have a project and an investor. How could the funding be structured?
Clarify the investor and project owner’s objectives, allocations and responsibilities before structuring a funding proposal.
63
Investor and project owner: agree the economics before starting
An investor and a project owner can agree on the ambition while having different expectations of the economics.
65
What happens when the project reaches its funding target?
Agree how distributions, project caps and future allocations will work once a project reaches its funding target.
29
Business growth: turn an expansion plan into a funding schedule
Turn business expansion into a staged funding schedule, with defined expenditure, investor responsibilities and realistic cash-flow dependencies.
33
Working capital: what must be available, and when?
Payroll, suppliers and operating costs arrive on their own timetable.
28
Buying an asset: work backwards from the completion date
The asset is available. The seller has a timetable. The buyer has capital or an investor willing to support the purchase.
35
Funding an acquisition: separate the purchase price from the funding plan
Build an acquisition funding plan covering deposits, completion, costs and post-acquisition working capital, with clear funding sources.
40
Property development: fund the milestones you can measure
A development budget can cover years of activity. The first funding decision may concern only the next measurable stage.
43
Technology businesses: connect funding to delivery milestones
Connect technology funding to measurable delivery milestones, ownership, budgets and a clear commercial plan.
46
Infrastructure funding: build a staged plan
An infrastructure project can have a substantial long-term funding requirement while being unready to deploy the full amount today.
47
Banking, EMI and payment infrastructure: define the funding requirement
A banking, EMI or payments project may use the word “capital” to describe several different requirements.
50
Gold and commodity projects: identify the asset and the use of funds
A gold or commodity project can involve several distinct commercial opportunities.
58
Property, gold and other assets: starting with the commercial objective
Start with the commercial objective when reviewing property, gold, commodities or financial assets for a structured funding discussion.
61
Humanitarian and impact projects: put governance beside the funding goal
A humanitarian or impact project can have a compelling purpose and still need a precise funding structure.
