You're here because the numbers stopped working.
The bank approved $5M when you needed $50M. The investor came in for half. The private equity firm wants the deal — but at rates that kill the math. Or some mix of all three: a partial yes from one side, an expensive yes from another, a hard no from the third.
You're not new to capital. You've been around the table. You're not looking for hand-holding — you're looking for the rest of the stack.
That's where we come in.
From Canadian roots to a global vision
Founded by Taimour Zaman, AltFunds Global is a digitally native financial advisory firm working from Toronto, Canada and Zurich, Switzerland, alongside a global network of 11,000+ lenders, family offices, and private equity firms across North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Latin America. The deals we work on run from $1 million to $500 million+.
What we are not.
We're not a bank. We're not a lender. We're not a fund. We're not a deposit-taking institution. We don't hold your money at any stage. We don't promise you a specific funding amount, a specific rate, or a specific close date — those decisions sit with the capital provider, not with us.
What we do is structure your file, qualify your deal, and connect it to the right capital. In writing. Through licensed counterparties. With the discipline institutional capital actually requires.
Two entities. One firm. Verifiable in both jurisdictions.
Two entities. One firm.
AltFunds Global operates through two registered companies.
Alt Funds Global Corp. — incorporated in Ontario, Canada. Ontario Corporation Number 1000067XXX. You can confirm our active status through the Government of Ontario's public corporate registry.
AltFunds Global — registered in Switzerland.
Full registration numbers are shown in part on this page. Complete registry documentation is exchanged with counterparties only at the closing stage of a qualified deal — not before. This is standard in structured finance. It protects our clients, our counterparties, and us from impersonation.
Twelve years. Three milestones.
- 2014Advisory work in structured finance begins under founder Taimour Zaman.
- 2021Alt Funds Global Corp. is incorporated in Ontario, Canada.
- 2025AltFunds Global is established in Switzerland.
Managed from Switzerland.
AltFunds Global is managed by a Swiss Director. Director details are exchanged with counterparties at the closing stage of a qualified deal, alongside full registry documentation.
Trust should be verifiable — not assumed.
In our sector, fraud is common. We don't think claiming credibility is enough. So in 2025 we hired a former federal investigator — 20+ years in financial crimes — to audit our own firm. The goal: find and close any gap a serious counterparty might flag, before they encounter it.
If you want to verify us, we make it easy. See our Verification page or read how we handled our own audit.
How you'll pay us.
Two paths and we're precise about them, because precise language protects you and protects us.
Your file is complete.
You arrive with the paperwork in order: appraisals, ownership records, business plan and forecast, cap table, IDs, permits where relevant. We don't get paid until the bank, lender, private equity firm, or other capital provider sends the money. Our advisory fee comes out of the closing — never before.
Your file isn't complete yet.
If you need our advisory team to build out the file before institutional capital can underwrite it, you pay us for that consulting work directly. That's consulting, not contingent advisory.
Third-party costs
Independent due diligence vendors, escrow agents, legal counsel — paid to those third parties. Not to us. You can pay third-party costs and still not proceed to a term sheet. That's not a flaw, it's by design.
Brokers
If you came to us through a broker, that broker earns 10% of our fee on every deal that closes. Always documented. Always through escrow.
Booking a call
$297, credited toward advisory if we proceed together. We don't offer free calls — that policy protects both sides of the conversation.
Three principles. Non-negotiable.
Capital should flow to bold ideas
Not just legacy connections. Every credible project deserves access to the right structure — regardless of geography or pedigree.
Alternative finance should be transparent
No hidden fees. Every engagement under NDA, with full KYC/AML compliance.
Credibility is earned through clarity
We tell you what we can do, what we can't, and what it will take — on the first call.

Fraud and impersonation.
The alternative capital space attracts impersonators. Fake brokers. Fake “AFG representatives.” Cloned websites. Spoofed emails. WhatsApp groups using our name. We've seen all of it, and you should know how to protect yourself.
We will never:
- Ask you to wire money to a personal account, a cryptocurrency wallet, or an offshore entity unrelated to a documented transaction
- Ask for your full banking credentials, your password, or your two-factor authentication codes
- Reach out through Telegram, WhatsApp groups, or random Gmail / Outlook / iCloud addresses claiming to represent AltFunds Global
- Pressure you into sending money or documents on a same-day deadline
- Promise you a specific funding amount, a specific rate, or a specific close date
- Tell you the capital is already “ready” before any underwriting has happened
We only communicate through:
- Email addresses ending in @altfundsglobal.com
- The official website altfundsglobal.com and its sub-domains
- Phone numbers and meeting links you booked through our official site
If anyone contacts you claiming to be from AltFunds Global through any other channel:
- Don't send money.
- Don't send documents.
- Forward the message to hello@altfundsglobal.com before you do anything else.
A real person on our team will confirm within one business day whether the contact is genuine. The verification step is free — it exists to protect you.
Credible capital. Credible opportunities.
Intelligently, transparently, and with integrity. If you're an accredited principal looking for clarity in alternative funding — we're ready when you are.
