7 Steps to Success
01
Apply to the BlueImpact initiative (BI) by registering on the Projects tab of the BlueImpact website. Supporting documents are requested but not required at this stage. Most projects are referred to us by Project Partners: Experts who are also involved in the BI Academy to develop investment readiness for each Project.
02
Our Eligibility Review determines if there is a fit with blue economy, impact location, capital goals and development stage. If accepted by Eligibility criteria, the Project is invited to sign the Placement Agreement, engaging BI to assist in the capital campaign with payment on a success basis. If not Eligible, the Project is encouraged to find a more appropriate funding partner.
03
Our Bankability Review determines if the Project meets our criteria for commercial, financial and sustainability readiness. Our conclusions are given in a Needs Analysis report, with recommendations for an Investment Readiness program.
04
Investment Readiness Program has two components:
-
Financial Advice: Delivered directly by BI on issues of deal structuring, document preparation and investor targeting.
-
Business Advice: Delivered by experts in the BI Academy, based on the Needs Analysis. The Project engages with the expert of its choice, with timetable and any training fees agreed between them.
05
Project is Listed on the BI Deal website, where qualified investors have access to all documents. The Project maintains the listing directly and may respond to direct investor inquiries. BI also organizes calls with investors based on inquiries received.
06
Presentation Skills are honed with guidance provided on the BI Knowledge Centre. Our BI Webinar Series gives each Project the opportunity to present to an investor audience. BI also identifies other appropriate investor events for the Project to gain exposure.
