August Report – 2011

We have recently closed on two projects – 25m and 10m. Both are likely to expand in the future as these are INITIAL investments.

At Buss & Roth, increasingly, we are crossing the continents and borders, connecting with new potential clients, searching for high potential projects. We call it “Bridging the Divide” and as of September 2011, we met personally or online with people from 56 countries all over the globe. Turning the Golden Globe to our internal logo.

In August 2011, potential clients and projects came from: Nicaragua (Canadian corporation), Singapore, Iraq (UAE based company), United Arab Emirates, Croatia, Ecuadore (Canadian corporation), Switzerland, Turkey, United States of America and of cource Canada. Of course, not all are clients – many potential clients are very naïve about lending today. The lending environment is once again turning to less risk, higher quality projects.

Absolutely impossible to get to any kind of agreement with potential associates/ project owners from India, Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Venezuela – most of these clients offer very little in terms of stability and quality. Ideas are great…. But execution and quality documentation is a must.

Likewise, we have added a new Director for North America - we wish him well in his new position.

And finally, for winter, we have a new residence in southern Croatia on the Mediterranean coast. We will work from there and escape the bitter cold of northern Europe while overlooking the ocean from the terrace.

We strive to build long-term partnerships with our clients, partners, associates.
