How One Alternative Investment Firm is Shaping the Future

When you think about our future, what do you see? Perhaps it’s images of a clean, green world with renewable-powered, electric cars zooming down well-maintained highways through lush forests, or perhaps it’s a technologically advanced society where hospitals are completely up-to-date with the latest in diagnostic and treatment tools, and robots are doing all the undesirable work for us. Either way, the common thread connecting the present and a more positive future is funding, and it’s through investment firms that these new innovations, technologies and infrastructure projects secure the funding necessary to reach their goals.

As such, it’s important to acknowledge the impact these firms have in shaping our future, and one firm at the forefront of alternative investing is CIG Capital known as cigcap.com, who are taking a proactive and innovative approach in creating the path for unique and complex projects to get the funding they need.

“At CIG, we believe it’s the most diverse and unique projects that can have the biggest impact on our future,” says Charles D. Carey, Managing Partner at CIG Capital, “However, it’s often these projects that, for one reason or another, encounter issues in securing funding. That’s why we are innovating in this space, not only through providing funding, project management services and more, but by creating and implementing technologies that actively break down the barriers that halt these projects from getting the funding they need.”

In 2013, roughly two years after CIG Capitals’ initial formation, Charles Carey noticed that many small businesses and projects were coming up against the same obstacle: the issue of securing funding or being approved for a loan in a timely manner. Where many saw an unsolvable barrier, CIG Capital saw an opportunity, so they set to work creating Business Union Financial, also known as BUF, a customized, problem-solving loan originator, processor and servicer. BUF then went on to oversee the creation and implementation of a solution to the obstacle of timely loan approvals in the form of LiveFinTech.com, an underwriting predictive risk modeling algorithm capable of streamlining business loan applications and providing funding in as little as 48 hours.

The impact of this technology was huge for CIG Capital, enabling them to provide funding to businesses and projects in a short amount of time while still effectively mitigating risk. It was this innovation, along with a range of smart business partnerships that enabled the firm to fund a range of larger, more diverse projects, like their currently ongoing Dallas Project.

“The Dallas Project is the perfect example of the diverse projects CIG Capital pushes forward,” says Charles Carey, “Started in 2018, the project features separate developments receiving funding in and around the Dallas area for a total of $4.5 billion. This is an almost fully-comprehensive transformation, with energy, healthcare, medical and community services, aviation, and housing which is set to not only transform the Dallas skyline, but also bring a projected 4000+ jobs to the area.”

Completely solar-powered, this development project displays CIG Capitals’ diverse and effective approach to funding innovative and impactful projects. The benefits of such are set to spread out to the Dallas community too, and not only in terms of job creation; with the project seeing the development of community sports complex facilities, outdoor recreation spaces, state of the art medical and healthcare services, hotels, housing complexes, veterinary services, aviation services, as well as various retail and restaurant spaces.

With the Texas energy sector, a major driving force for the states’ economy, beginning to get progressively weaker, projects like the CIG Capital Dallas Project are helping fuel the areas’ continued economic growth through the development of new infrastructure, housing for the cities’ booming population, and necessary community amenities to service this larger population. In short: CIG Capital is shaping a bright and positive future for those in the Dallas area.

As for the future impact of CIG Capitals’ funding outside of Texas? Charles D. Carey believes in aiming high, stating “Whether it’s funding opportunities in infrastructure, fintech, energy, biomedical, software, real estate and more, our goal is to leverage our diverse portfolio and continue to venture out and search for unique projects and companies, wherever they may be, that can deliver the greatest good for the most people.”
