Westar Trade Resources Announces New Business Services for Investors and Technology Providers The new investor consultation program assists investors in identifying key opportunities for investment and ownership worldwide. Westar evaluates company goals, financing, and investing options. By conducting due diligence on potential locations, technologies, feedstocks, offtake agreements, financing opportunities, management team, and government incentives, Westar is able to assist companies to develop long-term strategies and identify potential long-term sustainable partnerships and investments. www.westartrade.com CEO and Founder of Westar, Cindy Thyfault, commented, “As I talk to potential investors, it has become clear that there is a need, a desire, and an opportunity for new investors and industry partners to provide equity capital and business contacts and expertise that will drive the development of the renewable energy industry to new and sustainable levels of production. However, these same potential investors are cautious when confronted with competing technologies, complicated RIN values, and expiring government support mechanisms. We believe that the experience and connections that we have established in this industry over 17 years will provide a valuable platform to assist new investors to enter into this lucrative new market, and also provide equity that is badly needed to meet national and international needs, both now and into the future.”
