Frequently Asked Questions

When should we engage?

Early engagement preserves optionality. The best time is when you first recognize that your capital needs exceed your internal capabilities, or when conventional banking relationships are showing signs of strain. We've seen businesses save months and improve terms significantly by engaging before covenant breaches or rushed acquisition timelines force compromises.

Can we engage for just one service?

Absolutely. Each service stands independently, allowing you to test our capabilities without committing to a full mandate. Many relationships begin with capital planning or lender negotiation, then expand naturally as trust builds and needs evolve.

How do fees work?

Consulting services are available on an hourly or monthly retainer basis, typically for discrete analysis or ongoing reporting. Full financing mandates typically carry success fees of 1.5%-3% of the capital raised, which are paid from the closing proceeds, thereby preserving working capital. We provide detailed fee structures during initial consultation, with no surprises or hidden costs.

Do you receive lender compensation?

Never. Our compensation comes exclusively from clients, eliminating conflicts of interest that arise when advisors accept placement fees or ongoing referral compensation from lenders. This independence allows us to negotiate aggressively on your behalf and recommend only the capital providers that best fit your situation.

Will you work with our existing advisors?

Always. We integrate seamlessly with your legal counsel, accountants, and other trusted advisors, respecting established relationships while filling specific expertise gaps. Clear role definition and coordinated communication ensure everyone pulls in the same direction without duplicated efforts or conflicting advice.

What if we're not ready for a full financing process?

Begin with targeted consulting to clarify your position and explore your options. Capital planning, financial analysis, or preliminary structuring work often reveals whether immediate financing makes sense or if strategic preparation would yield better outcomes. We'll tell you honestly if waiting serves your interests better.
