BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT AND RESTRUCTURING

Business Development or Improving Your Business– A continuous affair during the life time of a company

In this fiercely competitive markets, a company must evaluate its performance

continuously, and conduct number of developments and improvements, in order

to continue to grow and be competitive.

These business developments and improvements must be continuously done, so

that the performance of the company gets better and continue to beat the

competition, or at least survive during tough times.

A strategy to develop or improve your business by maximizing the company’s

performance is by business restructuring.

Today, having experienced the worst global financial crisis by many a business

owners, many hear and understand the term or word of restructuring, as if we are

talking about a company that is declining.





BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT AND RESTRUCTURING.. Contd.,

Mainly because the definition of restructuring itself means the following to many

- Restructuring, often referred to as downsizing, delayering, involving reduction

of the company manpower, working or business unit or division, or reduction of the positions level within the company’s organization structures. This reduction

of the company’s scale is needed to improve efficiency and effectiveness.

Restructuring strategies are used to find a way out for companies that do not

grow, get sick or there is a threat to the organization or the industry is at the

verge of significant change.

The owners generally make changes in the team, strategies changing, or the

introduction of a new technology in the company. To get it right, specialists are

sought after by the owners to ensure such changes are done with precision and

towards its success.





CAPITAL MARKETS AND SUKUK (ISLAMIC BONDS)

Today, Sukuk has become the ‘most promising asset class’ in the Islamic

investment banking and capital market circles and at First Global, we are advising

number of mega transactions both in the Middle East and Asia to source andadvise on the creation of a “new breed” of Shari’ah compliant financial and

investment products that compete in every respect with mainstream

conventional banking products and services.

The First Global Team has significant expertise in advising on the Islamic finance

structures, Sukuk in particular, and through its involvement in many regionalprojects has a genuine understanding of any potential clients through proper

discussion and vetting of the project and the commitment to its success.





STRUCTURED CORPORATE FINANCE ADVISORY

The First Global Islamic Finance Advisory Team combines many years of experience in

the corporate sector in the Middle East and brings together a powerful, and arguably

unique combination of the key skills required to maximise any viable fund raising

potential in terms of amount, cost, spread of investors and profile.

The First Global Team combines genuine corporate finance skills with in-depth market

knowledge of regional equity, debt and capital markets, and with strong links to leading
