Investment opportunities can come in many shapes and sizes. Attractive investments mitigate as much risk as possible to the potential investor. We have an opportunity that is very creative in structure, which eliminates almost all the risk of providing financing.

 

We are seeking $1 mm in mezzanine debt financing.

 

The use of funds will be $1 mm for growth capital for 4TK, Inc.  Detailed financial Information on 4TK Consulting & Investments, Inc. and Mark Griggs is available in the PDF below. As security for providing the loan, the investor would have (a) a 1st lien position in 4TK for $1.0 mm; and (b) a life insurance policy, which has a face value of $1.0 mm – information on this policy is in this link.
