Financing pathways
Senior secured corporate facilities, revolving working-capital lines, asset-backed lending, receivables finance, private credit, preferred equity, strategic equity and acquisition finance.
STRATEGIC CAPITAL / COMMERCIAL DISCIPLINE
Finance. Banking. Capital.
Prepared for real business.
A finance-led platform for corporate capital, bank financing, private credit, investment partnerships, project finance and ownership opportunities across global industries.
SPECIALIST FINANCIAL CAPABILITIES
Four routes. One disciplined approach to capital.
Explore the service areas below. Each begins with a defined business requirement, evidence review and a practical plan for engaging suitable professional institutions.
FINANCE & CAPITAL / SPECIALIST SERVICES
Corporate Capital
Funding strategies for established companies, expansion and acquisitions
Corporate capital is designed around the company’s actual operating cash flows, asset base, contractual obligations and growth plan. KOHEN PLATFORM helps prepare finance-ready information and assess suitable institutional routes, subject to eligibility and independent underwriting.
Who it is for
Established industrial companies, exporters, manufacturers, infrastructure operators and acquisition vehicles with identifiable funding needs and accountable management.
Information required
Three years of financial statements where available, latest management accounts, debt schedule, ownership structure, use-of-proceeds plan, cash-flow forecast, existing security, customer concentration and corporate authorisations.
Commercial assessment
Review debt-service capacity, EBITDA quality, liquidity, covenant headroom, collateral coverage, currency exposure and realistic repayment sources.
KOHEN deliverables
Funding-readiness memorandum, indicative capital-structure alternatives, lender/investor information checklist, financial model review and a documented execution workplan.
FINANCE & CAPITAL / SPECIALIST SERVICES
Project Finance
Bankable structures for energy, mining, infrastructure and digital assets
Major projects require more than a compelling concept. They need a credible development pathway, verified sponsors, measurable demand, permits, technical evidence, contracting strategy and a financeable allocation of construction and operating risks.
Project structures
Sponsor equity, joint ventures, development capital, construction debt, limited-recourse project finance, equipment finance, export-credit-backed facilities and phased capital deployment.
Priority sectors
Gold and copper mining, critical minerals, power generation and grids, AI data centres, industrial facilities, logistics and infrastructure.
Bankability evidence
Feasibility studies, independent technical reports, permits, land rights, environmental and social review, EPC or construction strategy, operating forecasts, offtake or customer contracts and grid or utility arrangements.
Risk allocation
Evaluate completion risk, cost overruns, resource and reserve assumptions, feedstock, energy supply, demand, foreign exchange, political exposure and insurance requirements.
KOHEN deliverables
Project screening and gap analysis, financing pathway map, preliminary capital stack, investor-grade data-room checklist, risk register and stage-gated action plan.
FINANCE & CAPITAL / SPECIALIST SERVICES
Trade & Banking
Trade instruments, liquidity and cross-border payment discipline
International trade financing begins with a genuine commercial transaction, verified counterparties and documentation that aligns the sales contract, shipment terms and banking requirements. Instruments must be assessed by the issuing or financing institution.
Trade instruments
Documentary letters of credit (LC), standby letters of credit (SBLC), demand guarantees, performance guarantees, documentary collections, receivables discounting, supply-chain finance and pre-export facilities.
Transaction review
Buyer and seller identities, beneficial ownership, goods specification, origin and destination, Incoterms, shipping timetable, contract value, payment milestones and sanctions exposure.
Banking documentation
Purchase order or signed contract, pro-forma invoice, trade history, corporate KYC, financial statements, shipment documents and instrument wording for the bank’s review.
Risk controls
Check documentary discrepancies, issuing-bank risk, fraud indicators, sanctions, export controls, insurance, currency mismatches and repayment source.
KOHEN deliverables
Trade-finance readiness checklist, transaction-flow diagram, bank submission package outline, documentation gap register and execution milestones.
FINANCE & CAPITAL / SPECIALIST SERVICES
IPO Readiness
A disciplined path towards institutional governance and capital-market preparation
An IPO is a multi-stage corporate transformation, not simply a funding application. KOHEN PLATFORM can help companies assess their readiness and organise preliminary work with appropriately authorised legal, audit, banking and capital-market advisers.
Readiness pillars
Audited financial reporting, credible earnings, board independence, internal controls, corporate governance, legal structure, ownership transparency, investor relations and market disclosure processes.
Strategic choices
Compare an IPO with private equity, strategic investment, minority capital raises, dual-track processes or a later listing when operational maturity improves.
Evidence package
Historical audited accounts, forecast assumptions, legal entity chart, material contracts, tax status, litigation summary, intellectual property, ESG disclosures and management track record.
Execution sequence
Initial gap assessment, adviser selection, governance and audit remediation, equity story development, due diligence, exchange and regulatory preparation, then execution led by authorised professionals.
KOHEN deliverables
IPO-readiness gap matrix, workstream ownership plan, governance checklist, preliminary equity-story framework and adviser engagement preparation.
OUR COMMERCIAL ROLE
Capital preparation connected to real business.
KOHEN PLATFORM supports companies, project sponsors, buyers and suppliers in turning commercial requirements into structured, reviewable opportunities. Our work connects international trade, industrial procurement, major projects and financial preparation. A credible requirement, verified authority and a clear execution route come before capital outreach.
Engagements may concern a KOHEN-developed opportunity or an independently owned third-party business or project. Our exact role, deliverables, permissions and fees are agreed in writing. We distinguish preparation and coordination from credit approval, investment decisions and regulated execution.
FINANCE / CAPITAL / BANKING
Six connected areas of work.
Corporate Capital Strategy
Assess the purpose of capital, ownership structure, proposed use of funds, cash-flow profile and repayment or return logic. Compare the commercial implications of debt, equity, joint ventures and phased development without assuming that every business is ready for fundraising.
Project Finance Preparation
Organise sponsor information, feasibility evidence, development status, capital expenditure, operating assumptions, permits and commercial contracts into a coherent financing brief. Identify dependencies between procurement, construction, completion and the operating phase.
Trade & Working Capital
Map the buyer–supplier transaction, order cycle, delivery obligations, payment timing and working-capital gap. Prepare the commercial information that a bank or specialist provider may request when considering a trade transaction.
Banking Coordination
Help the client organise corporate documentation, authority, transaction purpose and operational banking requirements. Coordinate information requests with the client’s selected institutions and professional advisers; account opening and banking services remain the institution’s decision.
Capital Provider Research
Build a research shortlist across banks, private-credit providers, family offices, development finance institutions, export-credit channels and strategic investors. Screen potential fit by geography, sector, stage, ticket size, instrument and security requirements.
IPO & Public-Market Readiness
Review the business foundations behind a possible listing: governance, ownership, financial reporting, equity story, management capability and adviser readiness. Develop an initial gap map before the company commits to a market, timetable or transaction structure.
CAPITAL STRUCTURES / DEBT / EQUITY / INVESTMENT
Choose the capital structure that fits the business.
Financing is not one product. The capital solution should reflect the company’s cash flows, asset base, ownership objectives, risk profile, development stage and ability to service or return capital. KOHEN helps organise the analysis and transaction brief; lending, underwriting, investment decisions and regulated arranging remain with appropriately authorised institutions and professionals.
Corporate & Syndicated Lending
Corporate facilities, bilateral and syndicated debt, working capital, term loans, refinancing and asset-backed structures.
Private Credit & Structured Debt
Senior secured lending, mezzanine capital, bridge finance, acquisition debt and special-situation funding, subject to provider mandate and underwriting.
Equity & Joint Ventures
Growth equity, strategic investors, co-investment, preferred equity and joint-venture structures for companies and major projects.
Project & Infrastructure Finance
Financing architecture for energy, mining, AI data centres, transport, manufacturing and other capital-intensive assets.
Acquisition & M&A Finance
Capital planning for company and asset acquisitions, buy-outs, strategic combinations and post-acquisition development.
Capital Markets & IPO Readiness
Pre-listing preparation, equity story, governance, financial reporting and coordination with appointed capital-markets advisers.
GLOBAL INDUSTRY & INFRASTRUCTURE
Large projects require an executable structure.
Our project scope connects energy and power systems, AI and data centres, industrial facilities, mining and metals, transport, logistics and other substantial infrastructure opportunities. We approach scale through evidence and staged decisions rather than headline project values.
Sponsor & Project Foundation
Identify the project owner, sponsor, decision makers, jurisdiction and legal entities. Establish what is owned, what is contracted and which rights, permits or agreements remain outstanding.
Commercial & Technical Interfaces
Connect demand, supply, procurement, construction and operating assumptions. Clarify the status of offtake, supplier quotations, technical studies and independent adviser work; record unverified assumptions explicitly.
Funding & Delivery Logic
Separate development spending from construction and operating needs. Map sponsor equity, proposed external capital, milestone timing, contingencies and the contractual responsibilities needed to proceed.
PROJECT FINANCIAL SYSTEMS
A financial structure that management can use.
For an agreed project mandate, KOHEN can help organise the financial planning and reporting framework around the actual project schedule. The scope can range from an initial review to a coordinated management reporting workstream.
Planning Architecture
Sources and uses of funds; capital expenditure by work package; operating-cost categories; working-capital cycles; milestone payment schedules; responsibilities for updating assumptions.
Commercial Scenarios
Base, downside and alternative development cases; sensitivity to timing, demand, prices, input costs and exchange-rate assumptions. Financial scenarios are decision-support tools, not forecasts of guaranteed outcomes.
Reporting & Control
Budget-versus-actual tracking, commitments, payment status, cash requirements, exceptions and management decisions. Establish document ownership, revision control and an agreed reporting cadence.
MEASUREMENT & GATEKEEPER
A decision gate before capital outreach.
Our assessment work is designed to expose gaps early, protect management time and provide a traceable basis for the next commercial decision. A review may result in proceed, proceed with conditions, further evidence required or decline.
- Identity & authority: corporate identity, ownership information, signatory authority and the origin of the mandate.
- Commercial substance: the underlying business, customer demand, transaction purpose and counterparties.
- Project readiness: stage, rights, technical evidence, contracts and unresolved delivery dependencies.
- Financial coherence: funding amount, use of proceeds, sponsor contribution, cash-flow logic and supporting assumptions.
- Risk & specialist review: country, sector, counterparty and transaction issues requiring appropriate legal, technical or compliance input.
- Decision & conditions: written findings, evidence gaps, responsible owners and the conditions for progressing.
Ownership and authority checks support commercial screening. They do not replace legal title opinions, statutory due diligence or an institution’s independent onboarding.
IPO & GLOBAL EXCHANGES
Prepare the company before pursuing a listing.
A public listing is a corporate transformation and a specialist transaction. KOHEN’s role is to help organise early readiness, commercial positioning and coordination. Exchange selection, eligibility, securities documentation and regulated transaction work require the relevant appointed professionals.
01 / Business & Equity Story
Define the business model, competitive position, growth plan, use of proceeds and the commercial evidence supporting the proposed investment narrative. Separate achieved performance from management targets.
02 / Ownership & Governance
Organise group structure, capitalisation, shareholder records, beneficial ownership information, related-party matters and decision authority for review by the company’s advisers.
03 / Financial Reporting
Map reporting history, audit status, accounting policies, forecasting processes and finance-team capacity. Identify work that must be led by auditors and reporting specialists.
04 / Market & Route Research
Compare potential market routes at a preliminary level against the issuer’s geography, business profile, scale, investor audience and readiness. Current market requirements must be checked by qualified advisers before a route is selected.
05 / Adviser & Data-Room Readiness
Prepare a structured introduction brief and document index for discussions with legal counsel, auditors, corporate-finance advisers and other authorised specialists. Track appointments, responsibilities and open questions.
06 / Readiness Roadmap
Produce a prioritised action plan covering governance, reporting, documentation and commercial presentation. Establish dependencies and decision points before setting an indicative timetable.
Listing clarity
KOHEN does not operate an exchange, underwrite securities or guarantee admission, valuation, subscriptions or liquidity. A readiness review does not constitute an offer of securities or personalised investment advice.
ENGAGEMENT PROCESS
From initial brief to a defined mandate.
- Initial enquiry: send a concise, non-confidential summary of the company or project and the support required.
- Fit assessment: review sector, jurisdiction, stage, authority and whether the requirement fits our commercial scope.
- Scope & agreement: agree the work, deliverables, exclusions, client responsibilities, confidentiality arrangements and fees.
- Evidence & preparation: organise documentation, analyse gaps and prepare the agreed materials.
- Authorised coordination: where included in the mandate, coordinate introductions or information exchange with suitable counterparties and specialist advisers.
- Management review: report progress, unresolved risks, external decisions and recommended next actions.
Information is shared with third parties only within the agreed mandate and permission framework. An introduction is not an approval, commitment or assurance of financing.
