Origo is a very different type of private equity investor. As one of very few cross-border emerging market focused investors, Origo has developed skill sets and on the ground infrastructure to assist portfolio companies across sales and marketing; invoicing and cash collection; corporate registration and back office operations; IT design, localization, and maintainance; interim management and strategic support.
It is not un-common for Origo executives to work as interim management in our portfolio companies. For example, one of Origo's Managing Directors spent one year seconded to Isak International Holdings Limited with the responsibility to develop the business model, roll-out operations in international markets, and lead the company's fund-raising efforts. This type of service is equally attractive to established foreign companies seeking to set up a China subsidiary as to early stage companies in need of capital and assistance.

The Origo investment process can be very quick, depending on the type of opportunity and how well prepared the investment candiate is. |
