It seems like we have at least one question a week asking about the requirement for meeting fees when meeting with a private money investor. The person making the inquiry says something like this, “I can’t pay the meeting fees, so could you have them waived?” Then there’s the question like, “I’m not paying for a meeting fee until I know the investor will fund the project, so couldn’t the meeting fee be rolled into the fee due when the project funds?”

No Waiver Of Meeting Fees

Access To private Money can’t waive what we don’t have. The meeting hosting fees are a requirement of the JV Network Company we do business with for the private investors. Since we don’t have the right to waive the fees, we are not in a position to grant a waiver.

We Can’t Give What We Don’t Have

Access To private Money can’t give away what we don’t have. We are also not in a position to subsidize client’s meeting fees. Since no one at Access To Private Money is present at the investor – client meeting, we can’t control what goes on there. As stated in Private Investors and Private Money Meeting Fees the meeting fee goes to the JV Network Company, and Access To Private Money can’t risk what we can’t control.

So if you are thinking that maybe you are the client with a project so good that there has to be an exception for your project to be submitted, consider what you’re asking. Access To Private Money can’t give up what it didn’t have to begin with.

The Rules Of The Game

We all live by rules, and sometimes we don’t like some of the rules. But if you want to play the game of finding a private investor using the network of private investors assembled by the JV Network Company you have to play by their rules.

You have two options, play by the rules and submit your project for consideration, or find another game, another source for private investors. It’s really that simple.

If you choose to use Access To private Money to find private money investors we will be happy to submit your project for you. To get more details about the submission process you can request private money funding information and receive the PDF file Joint Venture Funding Guidelines and Procedures.

Over and Over and Over again I get questions about meeting fees and needing millions fast for some special reason to fund a project. The reality is that NO Private Money Investor or Private Money Lender will give you millions of dollars FAST. They’d be crazy to do so. And NO project is accepted without paying a meeting hosting fee.

Not all projects are accepted for submission. You need to meet certain criteria in order for your project to be accepted for consideration. See blog post for Private Money JV Funding For A Few Good Clients. Do You Qualify? for the kinds of projects we are looking for.

So Here’s The Deal

• If you CAN’T or WON’T pay any meeting hosting fees – BUZZZZZZ Game Over!
  Your project WILL NOT be placed before any investors in the Private Money Investor Network.




• If your project needs to be funded in less than 60 days, there’s no way this investor network would be able to fund your project.
  It just takes longer for everyone to check things out.




• If your project is in one of the NO Funding areas of the world, NO investor in the Private Money JV Investor Network will fund your project.
  It doesn’t matter whether other investors are funding there, it’s a great place to live, and you believe your project is the best in the world. It just isn’t going to happen.

The Basic Private Money Funding Requirements

1. You MUST pay meeting hosting fees – NO exception




2. Your project does not have to be funded immediately




3. Your project is NOT in a NO Funding Location

So if your project fits into any one of these categories, we’ll consider it. Otherwise don’t bother to send it in. You’re only wasting your time and it will not be accepted for Private Money JV Funding.

If this sounds harsh to you, please don’t take it personally. I want you to know the hard facts about what is required so that you can decide if this is the right option for you.

The reality is that there are hundreds of Private Money JV Investors looking for projects, and there is money available. But the JV Network Company we work with has certain requirements. If you can meet these requirements, you may get the JV Funding you’re looking for.

If you can meet these requirements, I am eager to help you get the money you’re looking for.

You have probably heard the phrase “there is no free lunch.” And that is true in almost any endeavor. For the Private Money Investor or Private Money Lender, finding a project to invest in requires a lot of work and many times a lot of up front expense.

For the person or firm looking for private investors to fund their project there is a lot of time and expense involved there too.

Private Investing Costs Money

So starting or expanding any project gets expensive for both sides. What does that mean to you? It means that “there is no free lunch.” You need to develop a good business plan. That costs either time or money or both. Then you need to find a Private Investor. That also costs time and/or money.

We at Access To Private Money work with a JV Network Company that has put together a Private Money Investor Network. This cuts down the time involved in finding the private investor. However, that company gets paid in 3 ways:

1. Investors pay a fee to be able to view incoming projects
2. Clients seeking funding pay a meeting hosting fee to meet with the investors
3. When a project is funded by an investor, the investor pays points on the amount funded to the JV Network Company.

What You Pay … And Where It Goes

To work with us at Access To Private Money to get your project funded you MUST pay the non-refundable meeting hosting fee to the JV Network Company before you can have an investor meeting. That fee goes to the JV Network Company to cover the costs of running the investor – client meeting.

Access To Private Money has NO control of the actual investor – client meeting, and the requirement for a fee by the JV Network Company. In addition, Access To Private Money cannot make that fee payment for any client seeking funding. And the meeting hosting fee cannot be paid as part of the fee due to Access To Private Money when the project is funded.

When and if the project is funded through the Private Investor Network you pay points to Access To Private Money on the amount actually funded. These funds come out of the money the investor is putting into your project at the time of closing the deal.

The amount of the meeting hosting fees is spelled out in the PDF file Joint Venture Funding Guidelines and Procedures which you receive when you request private money funding information.
