About this site

Thousands of Russian investment projects forwarded annually to the world community contained, as a rule, merely business ideas. But only few of the projects were in correspondence with international business practices. Then many investors came to realize that, as concerns Russia, there were fundamentally different approaches to interpreting certain economic concepts. The phrase "we need an investor" might mean the enterprise needed a bank loan or state financial support, and the enterprise's shares would not be necessarily offered. This often resulted in failure of multiple attempts to find a transaction in Russia that would respond the demands of professional investors.

The Internet site "Investment Opportunities in Russia" - created with the support of the Russian Federal Commission for Securities Market - was meant to contribute to the solution of the above problems. "Investment Opportunities in Russia" is not a show-case of some kind, but a complex system of organizational and technical measures to promote investments into the real sector of Russian economy. This provides for the following:

• To prepare enterprises for interaction with investors:
  • to give intensive training in financial and investment analysis, marketing, and corporate planning to the enterprises' managers;
  • to give professional support in business plans development and other investment documents composition;
  • to examine investment projects;
  • to assist the enterprises in implementing reforms and restructuring.
• To give professional assessment of business.
• To interpret financial information about the enterprises in accordance with the IAS.
• To carry out management and legal consultations.
• To ensure professional support in negotiations between the enterprises and potential investors.
