Banks may partner with National Company Industrial Zones (NCIZ) in order to secure financing for investors who choose to establish their operations in the zones, managed by the company. Partnerships of the state-owned industrial zones’ operator with local and regional commercial and investment banks have the potential to further boost the dynamic investment processes in the country. The idea has been launched by the company’s management, yet discussions are still at a very early stage.
The Zones - a One-Stop-Shop for Investors
The industrial zones of NCIZ offer multiple advantages that have successfully attracted high-profile investors. Strategic location, available infrastructure and institutional support at every step of a project implementation are just a few of the perks that investors in the zone can benefit from. Securing access to financing that fits perfectly with the pace and specifics of an investment project’s development in the zones would take the value proposition of NCIZ to a whole new level. The main idea is to integrate as many of the services investors need as possible into one package, managed by partnering bodies. The one-stop-shop approach as experts call it saves a great deal of time, money and effort for those investors.
Gaining Access to New High-Profile Investors
The proposed scheme adds value to investors who may have already made a decision to enter the zones, operated by NCIZ by providing them with financing opportunities. However, it also gives access to a pool of investors who are on the lookout for the perfect location for their next project. These are the investors featured in the databases of the partnering banks. An increasing number of companies are now recognizing the advantages of Bulgaria as an investment location. An emerging over the past 18 months trend of doubling initial investments of those companies that are already present in the zones of NCIZ is also sending a strong signal to newcomers. It is that signal that could be replicated through cross-promotion of NCIZ and the respective partnering banks. Attracting new investors to the zones of NCIZ is a step further down the road to achieving the company’s main purpose – to enact the government’s drive to boost investment and improve the business environment in the country. New investors also generate multiple benefits for the companies already present in the zones, as well as local businesses, as new opportunities arise along the supply chain.
