FUNDING STRUCTURE & INVESTMENT MODEL

  • What is the minimum and maximum funding available?

    We fund from USD $5 million to $100 million+, depending on the nature, risk profile, and financial viability of the project.

  • Is this a loan or an investment?

    This is primarily an equity-based investment. Republic Investment becomes a temporary equity partner in your project based on an agreed stake. In some cases, hybrid models (equity + debt) can be considered for low-risk or fixed-income projects.

  • How is ROI calculated?

    Our base ROI expectation starts from 5% per annum, but returns may range much higher (up to 30–50%+) depending on the asset class, location, and project scope. The typical profit-sharing structure is 80:20 (80% to Republic Investment, 20% to the local partner), though this may be tailored in some cases.

  • Are you funding 100% of the project?

    Yes, in most approved cases. However, co-contributions may be requested for extremely high-cap projects, as a signal of alignment and shared risk.

APPLICATION PROCESS

  • How do I apply?

    You must submit a formal application through our website, including an executive summary, project pitch, and basic business credentials. If shortlisted, you’ll be invited to upload full documentation for final due diligence.

  • What documents are required?

    • Executive summary
    • Business registration (in country of operation)
    • Full business plan with financials
    • Legal and compliance documents (licenses, certificates)
    • Identity verification for directors/shareholders
    • Bank statements or proof of operations (if applicable)

  • How long does approval take?

    The full review and compliance process takes 4–6 weeks, though high-complexity projects may require more time. Fast-track options are available with additional processing through our Priority Account Setup services.

  • Can I apply on behalf of another company or group?

    Yes — if you have official authorization and access to all legal and financial documentation.

OFFSHORE ACCOUNT REQUIREMENT

  • Why must I open a corporate offshore account in Singapore?

    To maintain compliance and transparent disbursement, all approved funds are first transferred to a
    Singapore-based offshore corporate account opened in your company’s name. From there, you can move the funds to your project’s operational jurisdiction. This ensures:
    • Traceability of capital
    • Anti-fraud protections
    • Secure fund custody under Singapore financial laws

  • Do I control the account?

    Yes. You are the sole operator. The account will be opened by our legal team with your written consent, but once active, all control (login access, debit card, authorization) belongs to your company directors.

  • What are the account setup options and costs?

    Available Packages
    Package Name Processing Time Refundable Deposit Bank Fee Total
    Regular 21 Business Days $59,225 $1,275 $60,500
    Business Express 12 Business Days $119,409 $1,275 $120,684
    Priority 5 Business Days $549,615 $1,275 $550,890

    The deposit is fully withdrawable post-activation. The setup fee is charged by the bank and is non-refundable.

FEES & COST RECOVERY

  • Are there any upfront fees?

    No fees are paid directly out of pocket unless you're selecting expedited services. All core processing, legal, and project administration fees are deducted from the approved disbursement amount. This approach builds trust and reduces the fear of scams.

  • What fees are involved?

    Fee Breakdown
    Fee Type Range / Fixed When Paid
    Application & Due Diligence $2,500 – $5,000 Deducted after pre-approval
    Legal Structuring $5,000 – $15,000 Deducted pre-disbursement
    Admin & Project Fees 0.5% – 1% of capital Deducted from first disbursement

    Optional support services (e.g., plan enhancement, investor pitch decks) may be quoted separately.

POST-INVESTMENT SUPPORT

  • Do you monitor the project after investment?

    Yes. We maintain compliance oversight, funding checkpoints, and quarterly reports. Depending on project size, independent auditors may be engaged.

  • When are profits shared or capital repaid?

    Most partnerships follow an annual or bi-annual profit-sharing schedule. Capital return is typically agreed upon as part of the initial investment term (e.g., end of year 3 or 5). Custom structures can be negotiated.

  • Can I apply for more funds in the future?

    Yes — successful projects are eligible for scaling support, refinancing, or additional capital allocation under a renewed agreement.

REFUNDS & COMPLIANCE GUARANTEES

  • Are fees refundable if the application is rejected?

    Due diligence and legal fees are non-refundable, as they cover third-party services and legal work already performed. However, refunds for account deposit funds are available after account activation.

  • Can I withdraw after paying fees?

    Yes — you may withdraw at any point, but all deducted fees will be retained for services rendered. Refunds are only offered in rare administrative cases (e.g., duplicate charges).

  • How do you ensure fee safety and accountability?

    • All fees are invoiced and receipted by our finance department
    • No payments are collected through personal accounts or crypto wallets
    • We only use registered corporate accounts in Singapore
    • All contracts and consents are signed digitally and backed by MAS-compliant documentation
