To do our job takes a substantial commitment on our part in professional time and money. Generally, it takes between 200 and 400 hours to get a client ready to meet potential investors. While we are quickly able to ascertain if there is economic merit in your concept or business, we do not know all the details about the engagement, or your business. Experience has shown the devil is in the details. We look at each engagement on its own merit.
Some engagements are more complex and require greater commitments of resources.
The amount of resources we have to commit is often not apparent until we begin preparing the due diligence. We charge two fees for our services. There is a fixed fee to cover the preparation of the business plan and supporting due diligence package. This fee is commensurate with the estimated time required, complexity, and market conditions. It is nonrefundable, as we consider it compensation for the professional time invested in the engagement.
