Efficient, professional assessment at
fixed costs |
Due to standardisation of processes and certificates the fees for
high quality due diligence services of average consulting companies
can be reduced significantly.
Private investors, business angels, currently have only little
access to a systematic investment analysis. Therefore APMC Investment
Certificates are not only adding value to established Venture Capital
and Private Equity organisations but allow assessments for smaller
transaction volumes as well.

Stronger negotiation power when structuring
deals |
APMC Investment Certificates provide information screened by an
independent, professional third party. They can be used to strengthen
the negotiation power of investors when it comes to a deal agreement.
Investors can point at the overall results or some specific areas
of the APMC assessment and ask for better terms and conditions for
the risk they will face when investing.
 |
Increased transparency of risk-return
profiles |

Investors do behave rational, when they compare risk and returns
of several investment opportunities. An interesting consequence
of the standardisation of APMC Investment Certificates is an increased
transparency when comparing investments. Even companies operating
in very different markets and selling very different products can
be directly compared.
An APMC Investment Certificate also makes critical success factors
more tangible and lets investors understand when they can expect
the returns of their investment.
