Global Trade & Development Consulting (GTDC) is a company established to seek out global investment opportunities and facilitate their fruition. Presently there is a gap between the demand for Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and the ability to attract and garner private capital by many countries and their governments. GTDC hopes to close this gap helping its client countries and their governments realize their cherished economic development goals while ensuring private investors earn competitive rate of return from their ventures.

The company will nurture strong and trusted relationships with the institutional and developmental organizations that actively provide debt and equity capital to African companies. It will develop a strategic alliance with experienced investment bankers, whose services include all forms of debt and equity capital raising, capital formation strategy, Merger and Acquisition advisory, and general corporate finance.

GTDC’s immediate objective is to take advantage of the favorable climate for private investment opportunities in Sub-Saharan Africa and gradually expand its services to the rest of Africa and around the globe. Presently, the company has identified active client base in Ethiopia, Mali, and Cameroon, and is well-positioned to begin work on well thought-out specific projects.

The company plans to work very closely with its partners in the investment banking sector and lead transactions in a wide variety of industries including, but not limited to, commercial banking, micro-credit, infrastructure, telecommunications, manufacturing, housing, transportation, technology, and agri-business. By combining our strategic corporate advisory with our partner’s access to global institutional capital and deep regional knowledge, GTDC will be Africa’s leading consulting firm with direct access to investment banks. The focus of this business plan is to identify GTDC’s future target clients, explain its marketing strategy, and to improve its internal procedures so it can substantially increase growth and development in client countries while guaranteeing a respectable rate of return to private investors.
