Where capital meets imagination.
Every great financial idea begins with a moment of friction. A business with traction. A project with a purpose. A founder with a plan. And yet, doors close. Delays stack. Banks pull back. At AltFunds Global, that’s where our story begins. Not with a balance sheet. But with a question:
“Why is access to capital still built for yesterday’s world?”
We were founded to challenge that idea. To create a new path for qualified investors and sophisticated dealmakers. To connect capital with opportunity, without the bottlenecks, red tape, or outdated protocols of legacy finance.
The AltFunds Story:
From Toronto Roots to a Global Vision
AltFunds Global was founded in Toronto, Canada, by Taimour Zaman, a financial strategist with a simple mission — to change how capital finds its way to bold ideas.
What began as a simple idea of providing alternative sources of capital to capital-intensive businesses evolved into something far greater. As more entrepreneurs and accredited investors from around the world reached out, one truth became undeniable: this wasn’t just about credit lines. It was about building smarter, more transparent ways to fund opportunity.
That realization gave birth to AltFunds Global — a company designed to make alternative capital accessible, structured, and secure for serious decision-makers worldwide.

Built in Canada. Designed for the World.
At AltFunds Global, we believe credibility isn’t about where you’re based — it’s about how you operate.
Glass towers or marble lobbies do not define us. We’re a digitally native consulting firm built for speed, precision, and discretion — helping clients access structured and alternative funding vehicles across global markets.
From our Canadian headquarters, we collaborate with regulated financial institutions, private capital providers, and dealer-brokers across North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Latin America. Our team understands that today’s capital markets don’t recognize borders — and neither do we.
Our Expansion into Europe
In 2025, we expanded our global footprint by establishing our sister organization, AltFunds Global AFG AG, in Switzerland.
This European arm was created to provide a specialized vehicle for international clients seeking to participate in financial programs and structured capital opportunities available across Europe’s highly regulated markets.
Clients who wish to meet with us in person are always welcome.
We kindly ask that you first book a consultation call so we can ensure the right specialists are available for your file.
After your consultation, please reach out to request a face-to-face meeting, and we’ll arrange a confidential appointment at one of our offices — whether in Toronto, Zurich, or another global location.

What We Believe
Capital should flow to bold ideas, not just legacy connections.
Alternative finance should be transparent, compliant, and globally accessible.
Credibility is earned through clarity, not complexity.
“We’re not here to replace banks — we’re here to bridge the gap between real opportunity and real capital.”

AltFunds Global Specializes in Alternative Funding Vehicles
At the heart of what we do lies one simple truth: every great project deserves a funding structure that fits its reality.
AltFunds Global specializes in Alternative Funding Vehicles — practical, results-driven financing solutions for accredited investors, developers, and business owners.
Our core expertise includes:
- Exit-Based Lending – repayment tied to a specific liquidity event or project completion.
- Asset-Based Lending – funding secured by tangible collateral such as real estate, equipment, or receivables.
- Revenue-Based Lending – flexible financing linked directly to a company’s income and growth.
It’s important to note that AltFunds Global is not a lender or a bank.
We are a strategic consulting firm that helps clients identify, structure, and connect with the most suitable funding sources.
Once the structure is defined, we introduce our clients to trusted banks, dealer-brokers, and private capital providers who execute the financing under their own regulated frameworks.
Our role is to design the roadmap — ensuring that every deal is ethical, transparent, and aligned with the client’s long-term success.
Our Mission
At AltFunds Global, our mission is simple:
To connect credible capital with credible opportunities — intelligently, transparently, and with integrity.
We’ve built this firm to reflect the reality of modern finance: global in scope, digital by design, and human at its core.
If you’re an accredited investor or entrepreneur looking for clarity in the world of alternative funding — we’re ready when you are.
