If the project is well defined and in the proper format, and can be presented right away, it is theoretically possible to obtain funding in 2 weeks. However, in reality, most projects will take at least 8 weeks or longer, depending upon how much additional information the investor needs to verify the facts and to feel comfortable enough to fund the project.

We fund a wide variety of projects including real estate development, and business growth and expansion in practically all industries.

The projects are primarily funded in the United States. However, we provide funding for projects all around the world. But there are some locations that the investors avoid, because they are considered too high a risk.

Generally there is a 3 to 4 point broker fee which comes out of the funds requested when the project funds.

Since the projects are funded by individual investors, the ROI varies widely. However, depending upon the risk, length of time the funds are in the project, and the type of project, the investors generally want a 20% to 50% return. The investors are looking for a percentage of the profits in the deal. They weigh that against the risk to determine whether the overall return on investment is sufficient for the risk taken.

There is no cost to submit a project to determine investor interest. However, there is a security deposit to ensure that you are willing and able to meet the required meeting hosting fee, when an interested investor is found for your project.

No. There is no up front fee as such. However, there is a meeting hosting fee to meet with an investor to present the projects. This covers the costs of moderating the meeting with the investor. The fee is per investor meeting and not per project. That means one meeting hosting fee for each investor you meet with. But, several projects could be presented at one meeting. The current meeting fee is $9,500 for an in person meeting, and $4,750 for a web conference meeting.

No. The meeting fee is non-refundable. However, if you schedule more than one meeting and your project is funded at one meeting, the remaining meeting fees are refunded.

No. The meeting hosting fee is paid to the company that hosts the meeting regardless of whether the project funds or not. It is a retail service that the hosting company provides to moderate the meeting. Since our business is providing access to the funding sources, we have no control over what happens between the parties at the meeting. Thus, we cannot underwrite or guarantee the meeting fees, and cannot deduct them from the broker points.

Generally the minimum amount of a funding request is 10 million dollars. However, some types of projects have been funded for lesser amounts depending upon the individual investor and the type of project. Some of the investors have been willing to fund projects as low as 1 million dollars.

Projects in the hundreds of millions can be funded. Usually if the project runs over 100 million, more than one investor will partner on the funding. However, a project of 200 million has been funded by a single investor.

Most, if not all, of the investors are willing to fund projects up to 100% of the funds needed to complete the project.

All documents must be submitted in PDF or PowerPoint format. An executive summary is required describing your project, funds required, projected returns, and exit points for the investor. Any images need to be either JPG or GIF format. In addition, a Project Funding Profile needs to be submitted.

After a review of your business plan and executive summary to determine whether they meet the minimum basic funding guidelines, we need an Initial Consultation to ensure that you understand the Funding Process.
Then we send you a Noncircumvention and Nondisclosure Agreement to ensure our interests are protected.
When that document is signed and returned to us we will send out the Project Submission Package containing the necessary forms to submit your project.
The remainder of the Funding Process is basically as follows:

1. You submit a Project Funding Profile and necessary Disclosure Documents along with your Executive Summary, Business Plan, Broker Fee Agreement, and any other supporting documents in PDF or PowerPoint format.
2. Your documents are entered into the Secure Investor Database where the investors can review your project.
3. Investors interested in your project pre-qualify your project for funding. What this means is that each investor who pre-qualifies your project has the funds currently available and has set them aside to be able to fund your project.
4. You submit your meeting hosting fees.
5. You are briefed about the investors who pre-qualify your project. You will be told where the investor is from and may be given any additional information that the investor is willing to disclose prior to the meeting.
6. You schedule a meeting with the investor or investors, either in person or over the internet as a web conference meeting.
7. At the meeting you make a formal presentation of your project to the investor, and you and the investor get to know one another. Developing a good rapport with the investor is crucial to any funding.
8. Shortly after the meeting (usually at the close of the meeting), you know whether the investor will fund your project or not. You may get a definite no, a definite yes, or a qualified yes with conditions depending upon additional information.
9. If the investor agrees to fund your project, you and the investor work out the details of your joint venture agreement for the project, and the funds are disbursed in accordance with your joint venture agreement with the investor.
10. Usually at this point the investor will request additional information and maybe additional meetings to verify the information you have submitted. In addition, the investor, at his own expense, will do his due diligence to be satisfied that your project is the way it was presented prior to making any final decision to fund the project.
