Our strategies

Our strategy doesn’t follow one direct path. We identify the detours and alternative paths to find the best route to our target.

AESI’s targets don’t wait passively for enforcement. Successfully recovering debts and resolving claims from debtors who are actively avoiding their obligations requires robust strategy. The objective is to make a settlement the most attractive course of action or to make enforcement unavoidable.

AESI may bring in qualified partners to execute their proposal either at the start, or at different stages as the strategy is executed.

Case Studies

A company controlled from India establishes a Singapore shell company to purchase cargos for delivery to its production subsidiary in Senegal. The Senegal company fails to pay a German creditor for a cargo. The controlling company has caused the Singapore company to dissipate all cash assets to related party companies in Hong Kong, Cyprus, and Jersey, as well as causing the Singapore company to waive the debt due from Senegal. The Senegal and Singapore company make false claims of defective cargos are used to justify non-payment.
