• Managing Partner at Covenant LLC

  January 2012 - 2014

  The Members of Covenant bring a unique blend of experience and relationships developed over many years of experience in various enterprises. As a result, Covenant is engaged by many companies for advice, primarily in matters of structuring and different methods best suited for their capital raising. Covenant selectively enters into less than 25% of the business that inquire. Each of the businesses Covenant chooses to engage with must meet tests of competence, integrity, experienced management team, a sound business plan, and projected growth in corporate value, which can be achieved if the capital needs of the client are met. Covenant provides introductions in the form of debt, equity, consolidation or merger. When Covenant provides it's capital request to an investor it means that Covenant has satisfied itself as to Managements capabilities; the business plan, its assumptions and projections; and the substantial probability the company will achieve its goals. A transaction from Covenant is worth a sincere look, in addition to due diligence items; each client has to have a demonstrable "edge" over its competition. This edge has to be seen and articulated clearly and proven through due diligence, which make Covenant opportunities and returns highly achievable.
