The international law firm and licensed financial services institution STILAS International Law Services, P.A., organized, structured, negotiated and closed a direct funding package for a newly formed Egyptian construction company based in Cairo.  The successful financing by STILAS was for expansion of the business model into being a real estate developer, and acquisition and development of land throughout Egypt.

STILAS obtained a commercial project loan for $35.0 Million USD from an Egyptian national bank, syndicated with a French bank.  The loan was based upon a proprietary legal mechanism of STILAS for leveraging future land value assets as collateral.

Led by international economic security and government relations expert Matthew Greene, the original founder of STILAS, the firm obtained cooperation and support from the government of the Arab Republic of Egypt.  Equity in government land was assigned to a conduit lender for the benefit of the borrower construction company, as the basis for the loan.

The interrelated legal contracts from STILAS essentially functioned as a structured collateral financing transaction, placing a conduit lender in the role of collateral provider.  The resulting loan arranged by STILAS, however, was essentially an asset-based loan against leveraged future assets.
