Tricky Industry | Advice Needed
<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>Hi Everyone,</p> <p>We need some advice. Where do you source finance if your industry is taboo or not one of the top “investment” industries.</p> <p>We are a group of ex special forces soldiers and instructors from all over the world. We have a plan to setup shop in a Central African country doing training, advisory, consulting and direct action. So basically private military.</p> <p>We have a strong connection with government of said country and have been offered verbal contracts once we set up (this is how it works so no we cannot get pre written contracts)</p> <p>We have spent 1 year on the project and spent 6 months in country. We received Govt approval, sourced land, permits done, connections made etc. So all of the ground work has been done.</p> <p>We found an investor but he has delayed and delayed.</p> <p>Now we are not sure where to turn. </p> <p>Any advice on where you would source investment? (No bank loans etc). We have been offered finance, but by people we would prefer not to jump into bed with (politically backed foreign investors).</p> <p>Your advice would be much appreciated!</p> </div><!-- SC_ON --> submitted by <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/First-Passenger-5474"> /u/First-Passenger-5474 </a> <br/> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/investing/comments/zhnz6k/tricky_industry_advice_needed/">[link]</a></span> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/investing/comments/zhnz6k/tricky_industry_advice_needed/">[comments]</a></span>
