• Value adding businesses in the agricultural industry as well as food processing and packing have enormous potential in Georgia.

• If you are considering starting a business in Georgia that you require additional funding for, let us know and we can discuss some possible solutions.

Tenders & Project Finance / Partnering

Business - Commercial Finance ($50,000 to $500,000 -USD)

As we are private financiers and not a bank, we look at each project individually.

• Georgia-Connect is linked to the biggest Georgian procurement facilitators in Georgia who process hundreds of new business opportunities and e-Procurement Tenders from various sectors every year.

• We can evaluate the viability of the project, help with the tender application, research and award process and support the project through local suppliers and subcontractors.

• Through our Georgian partners and connected professionals, we can also help identify and research available tenders that you might be interested in bidding for.

• Georgia-Connect Tender Database offers a comprehensive list of Georgian Tenders and other public procurement information.

• Infrastructural projects such as hydro-electrics, dams, mining as well as tunnels and road projects, although far larger than our normal business, can also be considered. If not in full - certainly in part. Our international geological partners are available for consultation on a case by case basis.

Property Finance Terms & Costs

Private & Commercial Real Estate ($20,000 to $200,000 -USD)

• We evaluate each Real Estate loan or investment on its own merits.

• We are happy to discuss and negotiate the repayment schedules, interest rates and terms on a case by case basis.

• If you are buying right, you should be seeing a property value increase of around 20% (pa), or more in Georgia for the next 4 years.

• As the country is developing at an incredible pace in so many different areas and industries, you need to be careful of what areas you are looking at investing in and for what use.

• Many new developments and infrastructural projects are ahead of schedule and many more are in the works which could affect the area you are looking at - either positively or negatively, or for the long or short term, depending on the use you have for that property.

• Most property transactions are done on a cash basis (through a bank) - But, also many are done privately. These transactions are fast paced and often there are many buyers bidding or interested in the same property, business or tender.

• Our in-house attorneys can craft loan-finance agreements for you that can assist you in your purchases and cater to work permit and business residency programs or applications for retirees, private individuals, investors, foreign staff or business owners alike.
