Alliance Creative Group, Inc. (Stock Symbol: ACGX) is a Parent Holding Company on the OTC market. The strategy ACG intends to deploy is a shared resource model where portfolio companies and real estate investments are vertically integrated, optimizing efficiencies and cost savings ACG will apply roughly 80% of capital raised towards diversified classifications of real estate with a strong focus on distressed assets and healthcare. The company’s distressed value-add projects may consist of healthcare facilities, warehouses, student housing, multifamily, conversions, flips and other opportunities. The remaining 20% may be applied to a mix of early stage equity investments in companies that synergize with the company’s shared resource model and secured lending opportunities. ACG’s strategic mission is to utilize a unique blend of capital, relationships, experience, and secured lending structures to increase value for its clients, partners, investors, and shareholders while reducing the overall risk. The company’s big picture long term plan is to create an ecosystem of shared resources that can provide quality resources with reduced expenses while acting as a secured lender for internal projects. The intent is to have multiple businesses and investment projects or divisions to help diversify the risk and generate potential revenue in multiple ways while leveraging both the private and public markets.

PerfectBalanceInvestments.com is a group of experienced investors, businessmen, lawyers, and financial advisers that look to invest in and actively help small businesses scale and exit. Prior to investments we are very collaborative with other angel and investment groups to increase deal flow and perform more thorough due diligence. Once we invest we prefer to take an active role to help introduce companies to strategic resources to improve the business, grow the revenues, introduce the companies to future investors and advise the companies. We look for companies that have found a problem that needs to be solved and they have proven they are solving that problem better than others. We also prefer post-revenue companies that have accomplished some growth with decent traction and retention and need help with more capital and advise to scale efficiently. We prefer more technology based companies that don’t rely on only a few clients and/or have to carry large inventories or receivables. Our sweet spot investments are between Angel, Seed and Series A rounds. Investments usually range from $25,000 to $1,000,000+ for equity positions with large financing available for debt structures.
