Helpful Information for Entreprenuers

WHAT HAPPENS IF I DO NOT RAISE MY DESIRED AMOUNT?

There is nothing more important to us than helping you raise your desired amount. Your success is our success and to be quite honest, we can't be successful unless you are successful in raising the funds you think are necessary to help your business thrive. That being said, any funds you raise will be issued to you and we will continue to help you until you reach your desired funding goal. This is a long-term partnership.

HOW DO YOU DETERMINE MY INTEREST RATE?

We analyze financial and qualitative information to understand a business’s capacity to repay its debts. The information we take into account, includes, but is not limited to: the measure of cash flow to service current debt (aka Debt Service Coverage Ratio); how aggressive, or risky, a company is with financing growth (aka Debt/Equity Ratio); ability of its short-term assets to cover short-term debt (aka Working Capital Ratio); financial trends; customer and vendor reviews; management tenure; competitive landscape; etc. We ask a lot of questions to understand the business model, its evolution, and its future intentions.

HOW LONG DOES THIS PROCESS TAKE?

If you submit all the required information we can have you ready to raise funds within 7 calendar days.

AM I GIVING UP OWNERSHIP OF MY BUSINESS?

No. You pay principal + interest monthly. You retain 100% ownership of your business.

HOW MUCH CAN I RAISE?

You can raise between $100,000 - $1,000,000.

We can do campaigns greater than $1 Million tbut it will require additional due diligence.

FAQ

Helpful Information for Investors

CAN ANYONE INVEST? OR DO YOU HAVE TO BE ACCREDITED?

Anyone with a bank account, $10, and the desire to, can invest. You do NOT have to be accredited. There are investment limits worth noting which are based on an individual’s annual income or net worth; specifically:

If an investor’s annual income or net worth is less than $107,00: the investor’s total investment limit is the greater of $2,200 or 5% of the lesser of their annual income or net worth.

If an investor’s annual income or net worth is $107,000 or more: then that investor’s total investment limit is 10% of the lesser of their annual income or net worth.

Either way, the total amount that an investor may invest per year cannot exceed $107,000.

CAN I LOSE MY INVESTMENT?

Yes. The simple truth is that there is risk involved in making any type of investment. We urge you to do your due diligence and ask questions prior to make an investment. We do not advise you to invest any money that you cannot afford to lose.
