Site evidence
Access, infrastructure, approvals and development costs may affect whether a proposal deserves detailed investigation.
Make the proposed contributions clear.
Some assets require a suitable partner before their potential can be explored. Substrat helps parties describe the opportunity, their objective and the contribution being considered.
Land and development
Understand the site before discussing returns.
The first discussion should establish location, size, available ownership documentation, present condition and the owner’s objective.
Professional assessment
Technical, financial and legal work should be undertaken by the appropriate professionals.
Practical limits
A preliminary introduction or concept does not establish that a project is feasible or approved.
Joint ventures
A partnership needs more than a promising idea.
Parties should establish proposed contributions, decision-making, evidence still required and responsibility for each cost before commitments become substantial.
Contributions may include an asset, funding, professional expertise or operating capability. Their value and commercial treatment need to be assessed on a stated basis. Expected returns are estimates and should show the assumptions behind them.
Start a partnership conversationRegulatory clarity matters.
Substrat does not present a preliminary concept as an approved investment, guaranteed return or confirmed source of finance.
Every proposed structure remains subject to appropriate legal, financial, tax, technical and regulatory review.
Frequently asked questions
Before you begin.
Does Substrat guarantee funding or development approval?
No. A preliminary conversation does not establish feasibility, approval, finance or return. Each proposal remains subject to independent legal, planning, technical, financial, tax and regulatory review.
What should a landowner provide first?
The initial discussion should identify the owner or authorised representative, site location and size, available ownership evidence, current condition, proposed use and the outcome sought.
Can international partners participate?
Potential participation depends on the proposed role, jurisdiction and applicable law. Appropriately qualified Nigerian and international professionals may be coordinated where a mandate requires them.
