Dear Readers,
Welcome to the June / July 2020 edition of the Funding Strategies newsletter! |
We have been very encouraged by the level of business and
investor activity during the past month. Investor confidence is returning
and we have seen a rise the number of pre-IPO companies wanting to list on the
ASX (as an example). Border restrictions are being eased (eg. http://statements.qld.gov.au/Statement/2020/6/30/restrictions-eased-border-plan-in-place)
and Governments have been rolling out grant programs (see below) to support
small and medium businesses. We have seen an increase in companies
looking to boost cash flow or improve working capital by accessing invoice,
trade or debt financing to support their business.
Please contact us if
you need assistance.

BlueMount Capital updates:
Introducing Project Portus and Project Luxuria

|
Introducing Project Portus
Project Portus is a new Power and Energy company developing a new LNG-To-Power project in Australia.
The project will be developed in two stages with stage 1 Gas and stage 2 Power. The Board and management of the Company have extensive experience in developing these types of projects previously for reputable companies.
|
|
|
|
Project Portus’ business and commercial model is simple, scalable and de-risked via a tolling arrangement, where the Company does not take risk in supply of gas or price of gas, but a fixed toll charge is processed through the facility. The project and facility are the first-of-its-kind in the intended State and potentially a pioneering and first mover in Australia. The strategy is to grow Project Portus into a significant project developer and energy operator that aligns with both Federal and State energy policies, as well as creating a sustainable, low cost supply of gas to underpin and compliment the renewable sector for many years to come. The Convertible Note will provide the funding source, coupled with the IPO, to execute approvals and other workstreams as stated below for stage 1 Gas and beyond.

Cyber Risks and Insurance |
|
|
|
|
|
"The recent Cyber Attacks on the Australian Government Offices and Business is yet another reminder of how financially devastating these matters can be.
Many of these are not specifically targeting businesses, just mass attempts to get in to computer systems.
As the Manager of our Cyber Insurance Placement Team said yesterday, “Scary times mate, any client that doesn’t have cyber insurance is risking their livelihood now!”Please put in place as a matter of urgency, a high quality Cyber Insurance Policy/Program, that includes a very prompt, proven and effective Cyber Response arrangement."
