Frequently
Asked Questions
What types of investments
does OKOA Capital make?
We make credit, equity and other specialty finance investments utilizing a variety of structures including, but not limited to:
– Asset-based loans collateralized by real estate or other assets ($1-20 million)
– Corporate loans to Small-To-Medium Enterprises based on cash flow and debt coverage ($1-10 million)
– Revenue-based investments structured as a form of debt but with a repayment schema based on a company’s revenues ($500k-$7 million)
– Preferred equity investments ($1-5 million) in growing businesses
Which industries do you invest in?
Although we specialize in Real Estate and other asset-based investments, we are industry agnostic.
Examples of the types of businesses we have invested in or founded ourselves include:
– E-commerce
– Sales & Marketing
– Consumer Products
– Enterprise Software
– Natural Resources
– Alternative Energy
– Telecom
– Financial Services
and many others.
Where do you invest?
We invest primarily in the western United States because of proximity, but we regularly assess opportunities throughout the United States and Canada. For select deals where risk can be managed and strong partners are involved, we can look beyond the United States and Canada.
What stage of business or projects
do you invest in?
For real estate, we can invest from the moment land is entitled through horizontal and vertical development and on to the acquisition of commercial or residential properties.
For other project-based deals, we can invest on a greenfield basis so long as permitting, construction costs and back-end contracts or other sources of cash flow are verifiable.
For Small-To-Medium Enterprises (“SME”), we invest in in cash flow positive businesses or other businesses with assets or securable revenue streams sufficient to mitigate risk. We are not venture investors, but we have an eye toward growth subject to our risk mitigation parameters.
What makes you different from other lenders or private equity groups?
Speed-To-Close: For deals that meet our parameter, we can close very quickly (in as little as two weeks) for amounts up to $5 million.
Flexible & Creative: Because we are not subject to the constraints of a traditional fund (e.g. only being able to invest in specific industries, locations utilizing a narrow range of investment structures), we have the ability to customize the financing to the opportunity.
We’ve Been There: Like you, we’re entrepreneurs, operators and company founders. We know what it’s like to build something from nothing. We hope some of this perspective will be of value to our clients.
