One of Ash-Bert’s
primary business objectives is to achieve growth through
joint participation, with well-established companies, in
projects and activities in those sectors of the Nigerian
Economy that it is familiar with.
Whether Ash-Bert plays a passive or active role in any
joint venture, it will always advise on strategies that
will aid in achieving returns consistent with the investment
expectations of its partners.
If a company decides to enter into a joint venture, Ash-Bert
would take on full responsibility for establishing the company
as quickly and a efficiently as possible. Once established,
it would demonstrate its commitment to joint venture by
taking up an equity position. Ash-Bert would therefore commit
both its manpower and financial resources to ensure that
the company realizes its potentials.
Ash-Bert believes firmly in joint venture partnerships,
and in 1993 and 1994 invested over N78, 000,000.00 in joint
venture projects. Ash-Bert is totally convinced of the efficacy
of joint ventures to exploit the many opportunities which
continue to arise, and will continue to commit its resources
to their growth.
