Why Should Your Company Work With Firstline?

Some businesses can be complex, and a frequent complaint amongst many leaders is that their financiers don’t seem to understand their business. It can be difficult for many business owners and executives to articulate the complex functioning of their company to people who are not within the industry or on the ground with you. This communication struggle frequently results in a degradation of your businesses’ growth as the financiers, or people tending to your accounts, tend to leave you waiting for long periods of time as they try to “figure out how it all works” and try to fit it to a general template of their understanding, with little room for your company’s unique business model.  
  
That experience is not one that our clients face with us – many choosing us as their preferred financing partner. Our broad industry sector experience, with multiple decades worth of experience within the corporate sector coupled with having some of the most innovative and sought after minds in the financial industry on our team – you never have to worry about anyone at Firstline Securities not understanding how your business works – no matter how complex. 
   
Our role is to see where your company is at, to understand where you would like to be financially, and to assist your growth in getting there- using the range of financial strategies and solutions we can provide to you.  Our financing solutions are always tailored to your specific needs. 

“Any entity seeking a business relationship with a financial entity that demonstrates the attributes of professionalism, knowledge, flexibility and a developmental orientation and sense of success would be well advised to link with Firstline Securities Limited”

How We Finance

Our investor network is like none other. 
 
A range of investors within our private network, from individuals to well-known institutions, will decide whether they want to invest in your business through debt financing. Together, with the financing you’ve received, you will know that you have a group of people who are truly rooting for your business and believe greatly in its success. It is a form of funding preferred by many.  
  
In fact, to help the business/project’s success, we structure to suit your revenue streams – giving you the freedom to operate your business in the best way possible. The aim is always for a successful project fully completed on your end, and on-time repayment on ours. 
  
However, you need to know, much like our investors, we are very selective.  
  
Our network is well connected full of individuals and institutions ready to invest. We review every application we receive, and once you require more than TT$1.5M, we will ask more detailed questions to analyse your investment case in more detail to assess the attractiveness for potential investors.  
  
We understand that every company and project works differently, and so we prefer to work with our clients as opposed to forcing them to transform for us. We support companies and institutions from structuring the transaction, straight through to your final maturity date. 
  
If you are looking for credit financing for your company, we would love for you to get in touch with us.
