What we do | Our commitment | SCV is a Check Writer

SCV holds controlling or significant minority interests in companies around the Pacific Rim including but not limited to Japan, Korea, India, China, South East Asia and the Pacific Islands. In aggregate, these companies currently generate over $160 billion in annual revenues. At SCV, we have a long-term investment horizon and focus on value creation. Leveraging the experience of some of the best minds in the international business markets, SCV locates, identifies, and works with undervalued companies and their management in order to assist them to realize their maximum potential.

Siam Capital Ventures partners with its portfolio companies to help become industry leaders as well as global household names. It is the firm conviction of CSV that competition makes the global economy more productive and more efficient, fostering opportunities for long-term success in the globally competitive marketplace. However, market inefficiencies and inequities in the ability to access capital markets often hinder the growth and productivity of promising companies. SCV provides expertise and assistance to help macro/micro companies find the capital they so desperately need to reach the next level in their respective industries.

Siam Capital Ventures encourages its companies to focus on the future and develop sustainable, healthy long-term growth models through time-tested strategies of prudent capital investment, R&D, new product marketing, talent development, improved and efficient operations and appropriate strategic acquisitions, as well as a focus in capital structure and finance strategies that small companies need to protect their principals as well as their shareholders.

SCV is a Check Writer

We at SCV put our money where our mouth is by making the initial investment into a macro/micro company that we feel has the potential to become the next "Blue Chip" phenomenon. We implement strategies to reach company goals as well as consult on efficiencies in the work place. Once the companies are ready to move to the next level, we continue to stand behind them, assuring the company success will persist by Two Strategies:

I. Capital Raising

Mid to Late Stage Private Equity
SCV advises in raising private equity for companies in the mid- to late-stages of their development that need capital to expand their existing businesses, create new businesses or recapitalize to achieve shareholder liquidity or fund inter-generational ownership transfers. SCV will help raise capital for clients whose operations are near or at cash flow break-even and require funding to achieve the revenue size that will enable them to become and stay profitable.

Subordinated Debt
SCV advises in raising subordinated debt for companies who have consistently generated at least $5.0 million in annual cash flow or are acquiring companies that when consolidated will reach a similar level.

Senior Debt
SCV also helps raise senior debt for companies that either generate predictable cash flow or have significant assets to support borrowings. SCV arranges secured and unsecured revolving credit facilities and term loans from banks, finance companies and hedge funds.

II. Advisory Services

Sell-Side Mergers and Divestitures
SCV helps clients sell their entire companies as well as divest non-core assets and businesses. We target sell-side assignments with an expected transaction value of at least $20.0 million. Our senior bankers work diligently to complete transactions at the best valuations while minimizing the disruption to daily operations and maintaining confidentiality. Our team of senior investment consultants has the necessary industry and transaction experience to successfully get it done.

Buy-Side Mergers and Acquisitions
SCV assists successful companies in valuing, structuring and negotiating acquisitions of desirable companies as part of standalone M&A assignments or in conjunction with financing engagements. SCV focuses on buy-side assignments where the client has identified the potential acquisition target and from time to time through our contacts in the industry will bring potential candidates to the negotiation table as well as positioning for hostile takeovers and back door acquisitions.

Recapitalization
SCV assists clients in refinancing their businesses to achieve liquidity, to effect full or partial-ownership changes or to fund growth. Significant liquidity can often be achieved through a debt-only recapitalization, resulting in no shareholder dilution. Additional shareholder liquidity can be achieved through the sale of a minority or majority stake of the company's equity. Recapitalizations may require both advisory and private placement services. SCV focuses on transactions exceeding $20.0 million.

General Advisory and Valuations
We provide general advice on transaction opportunities, including the analysis of deal structure and timing, and perform valuation analysis as part of our client services. Our advice is thoughtful and unbiased, and it is not uncommon for us to advise a client to delay a capital raise or a sale if we believe the delay, coupled with key actions, would maximize shareholder value. Our advice is formed with the goal of helping our clients close the best deal possible.
