Finance whiz James F. Pomeroy is in the
midst of launching a new company. In the process, he advises finance
professionals on how what it takes for a business (new or established) to
succeed in an uncertain and sometimes risky business climate.
James F. Pomeroy and his associates are
creating a new kind of company designed to help with multi-national
infrastructure and ventures that can be classified into two distinct
groups: Real Estate Private Equity and
Corporate Opportunity.
A new business model
According to James, the new company
combines the business models of these two sectors. It is unique in that it
utilizes the following in combination:
● the trading of a commodities- based platform (precious metals, oil,
financial instruments, collateral) to create significant current cash flow
(like a trading company)
● the longer-term wealth accumulation of smartly structured real estate
projects
● the selection and private equity investments or joint ventures in
corporate investing
The model is built upon the traditions of
the great merchant bankers like Baron Von Rothschild and JP Morgan (James’
business heroes). James’ new company combines this model, intellectual
currency, and real capital to a platform of current, medium-term and
longer-term growth in one amorphous profit center.
Can a new business ride an uncertain
economy?
James F. Pomeroy has founded and
established several businesses in the course of his 30-year finance career.
Having experienced both wins and losses, he is in a good position to answer the
question: How can a business, any business, ride the economy’s ups and downs?
From his experience as a financial
entrepreneur, he has concluded that when markets are not responsive to
clients, one has to do the following:
● First, think creatively and outside the box. For example, he says, “We created special
classes of collateral to enhance the
credit worthiness of our projects and the interest of money partners for
our clients. We have had a huge
successful closing ratio because of that.”
● Second, focus on substance vs. structure, then create added value in
all that you do. In one scenario, he developed value-added consulting and
finance strategies for a client, writing and rewriting the capital markets plan
for the company and, in essence, completing an incredible due diligence for the
client. Then his team identified product
end buyers and helped the client pre-sell products at a discount to A level
corporate credit buyers.
● Third, once James’ firm and its client agree to move forward, James
asks the client to escrow or set aside funds for the capital-formation
activities of his firm. This way, James’ attorneys, underwriters, the broker
dealers he affiliates with, and professional services group he has contracted
are all paid in reserve.
● Fourth, James’ firm drives optimum performance through best-efforts
campaigns - from the start of the project all the way to custom fitting
collateral, recruiting officers and directors, and other activities. At the end of the day, the client gets a
one-of-a-kind finance deal custom-structured to his requirements - sort of an “Armani” that is made to hang
like no other suit can.
That is what we do, James says simply.
