AGC
Affordable Growth Capital
An affordable, entrepreneur/early investor-friendly form of partnership financing that makes it easier (usually, much easier) for good projects to get done.
AGC comprises a new "hybrid" approach to funding great projects that typically:
-
provides 5X the amount (or better*) of a commercial bank loan — with better terms, conditions, and rates;
-
requires only 1/5 the equity of a comparable VC deal (negotiable, depending on the type of deal);
-
is focused on maximizing social and environmental good (including; safer, more efficient/easier to use buildings/structures and new technologies for improving the world); and,
-
is dependent on the quality of the project’s business plan and people.
AGC is complementary to other funding and generally far less expensive in terms of equity or interest rates charged. AGC also provides the founders and early investors with less dilution and greater control of their project.
AGC does not typically require personal guarantees but does require a clear Project Plan and an Advance from the Project Owner of 20% ("skin-in-the-game") toward the partnership to qualify. The funds are returned as the project progresses. At no time are the advanced funds at risk.
