Q. How can I release equity from my property
assets quickly? A. Cobalt is able to draw on significant
private funds of cash and decisions can be made within hours
of inspecting the site and receiving relevant paperwork.
No third party approvals from "boards" or "committees"
is required.
Q. Is a Sale & Leaseback the best
solution for my business? A. Potentially not. We can offer structured
finance solutions that may not require a business to enter
into a long term lease commitment. Cobalt will seek to identify
a solution that meets your business objectives and will
help support and grow your business rather than remove flexibility
or control.
Q. What is a Structured Finance solution? A. Difficult to be specific without a
live example (refer to some of our case studies) but it
aims to offer a solution somewhere between freehold ownership
which ties up capital in illiquid assets and a lease which
removes control and flexibility away from the business to
a landlord who can limit the activities of the business
and future opportunities.
Q. Why should I talk to Cobalt? A. Others have and experience shows that
a viable partnership can be developed that will meet both
parties objectives that few other organisations can match.
Q. Will Cobalt invest directly in my
business? A. In the right circumstances, YES, but
each opportunity needs to be considered on its merits.
Q. If I call to discuss an opportunity,
will it be treated confidentially? A. Most definitely, YES. Contact will
only be made with the enquirer in the manner requested and
no site visits or investigations will be undertaken without
consultation first.
Q. Why should I talk to Cobalt and not
to a Property Agent? A. Cobalt will act totally confidentially
and is not seeking a commission or introductory fee and
will not discuss the prospect with other potential investors
or developers
Q. Are there any sectors Cobalt will
not consider? A. Probably not, try us! (albeit we have
not yet done anything in the energy generation or marine
development sectors)
