OPTIONS

We work one of two ways:

Priority – If you want us to “Clear The Decks” put our heads down and get to work you'll honor us by paying a 1% fully earned, non-refundable commitment fee for our consulting services. The minimum fee is $2,500 and the maximum fee is $25,000 per project for six months of service. You may renew after that time.


When you hire us to work on a priority basis we thoroughly study your submission package to make sure that it complies with our recommended Road Map to Funding Success. Funding has always been about presentation. Those who present well are funded. Those who don't present well are not funded.


The key ingredients to funding success, in our experience, have been:

1.

A powerful Executive Summary of one to four pages.
2.

Bio's of key personnel.
3.

A detailed use of funds broken down monthly for the first year and quarterly thereafter.
4.

A 5-year proforma and written Exit Strategy.


Non-Priority – If you think that you've “nailed it” when preparing the four key ingredients to funding success, and you aren't in any hurry at all to fund and aren't quite ready to pay consultation fees then we'll take a look at your project when we can get to it. After we look at it we may need to send it back because you don't meet our requirements. (Priority Clients get major help from us in cleaning up their submission.) We'll return your calls and emails when we can: after all, priority clients come first.


We reserve the right to review each submission once, beyond that our consultation fee will be required. You had better complete the submission request correctly the first time or you better get familiar with our websites mentioned above. If you submit for free we can't spend a lot of time. It's not fair to us, our families, or our Priority Clients.


In our experience we can fund 1/3 of the files that cross our desks, 1/3 are DOA Dead on Arrival, and the final 1/3 are broken and need to go through some form of remediation which can take hours, days, weeks, months, or years.


We DO NOT GUARANTEE FUNDING. We work on a BEST EFFORTS BASIS.


With 33 years of Financial Services experience we may be uniquely qualified to serve you and those whom you choose to refer.
