Gers have been backed by the 49ers Enterprises - who also have control at English Premier League Leeds United - while Hearts and Hibs have received cash boosts from Tony Bloom and Bill Foley, who are involved with EPL clubs Brighton and Bournemouth respectively.
But Maxwell insists it was an easy decision to rubber stamp the developments as the newcomers to Scottish football possess solid track records.
