HOW CAN I HELP?
Through Dominus Consulting,I have helped multiple business owners scale their business thorough capital infusion. On the aggregate, we have raised more than Php 2 Billion for the companies that we have worked with over the years, and continue to do so especially during the Post-Pandemic Era.
WHAT STARTED ALL OF THIS?
In 2011, I worked in a bank as a lending officer. I was in charge of lending and managing loans for real estate developers. Eventually the scope of responsibilities expanded, and I handled a diverse set of clients.Over those years I found out one painful truth…businesses who really need loans can’t get them, because they don’t know how to plan. I saw businesses that have huge potentials suffer. All the banks they approached refused to give them money, at the time when they really needed it.I am fascinated with businesses since high school. I saw them as engines of change and prosperity. They can change the life of their employees and their owners. So to be honest, I felt bad knowing that these businesses can’t get the funding they needed.It was a while before I discovered where they went after that. They got loans from loan sharks, people who give ridiculous rates (as high as 36% per year!). If they didn’t hit a home run in sales, they would likely fail in less than a year.
MISSION
After a few years, my fascination with business turned to an itch to start something on my own. Exposed to a ton of business, and having a lot of talented mentors, I began to see many opportunities in finance. A lot of investments can be made, and a lot of capital is available to make those investments. I knew I had to start somewhere to get this engine going.Helping other businesses raise money was the perfect way to start. Finding the right clients was hard at first. Some businesses don’t really know they need help in financing until they’re in a tight spot. But eventually, I found the right partners, and the rest is history.
