CREATING THE CORPORATE STRUCTURE AND FINANCING THE PROJECT: WHAT DO YOU NEED TO BEAR IN MIND?
Pepeliaev Group and Legal Insight magazine are continuing a series of articles «How investment projects have evolved - lawyers' views». We are following the evolution of an investment project involving enthusiastic investors from Russia, Kazakhstan and Finland. They are ready to build a plant to produce a special nano-bitumen in order to manufacture elastic, ultra-strong asphalt designed to tackle that age-old scourge of this country: its roads. Our company is not over-endowed with assets. It is not affiliated to state corporations or to oligarchs. It wishes to play by the rules and to live inside the law. It has no desire to make use of administrative leverage. The first step is to lay down a corporate structure which both meets the owner's requirements and is suitable in view of the need to obtain bank or investor funding for the project.
