Investment Banking

Q: I have prepared a business plan for my company. Am I guaranteed funding when I submit it to your website?
A: No. What we do guarantee is that hundreds of Accredited Investors will see your plan. If your business plan expresses a great idea, we believe, you have a pretty good chance of being funded.

Q: I'm interested in starting a business and I need capital - Do I contact venture capital funds or Angel Investors in the beginning?
A: Venture capital funds will probably never look at your business plan seriously, if someone they know very well does not refer you to them. They will be interested only if (1) your business has the potential to generate significant return on investment, (2) you are planning to register patents, and (3) your plan shows profitability in the first year in business. Therefore, Angel Investors will most likely help you the best in the beginning.

Q: I just started a business, but I don’t have a management team yet, is this important?
A: Yes, keep in mind that venture capital companies don't expect you to have all key members of the management team in place if you are a startup company. However, they want to see that you recognize the importance of having experienced people working with/for you. If you don’t feel confident to be the company’s CEO, it will be better to find a CEO from the outside world.

Q: Do you charge a flat fee for providing investment banking services to companies?
A: No, every deal is different - It depends on how much information and documentation we need to analyze and how many funding sources we need to contact. Please note, we require a retainer from all new clients. Further, our reward for helping a company to fund its project is company's equity and cash fee, contingent upon the amount of capital raised.

Q: When can I expect to see results from your efforts to refer Accredited Investors or/and institutions to fund our project?
A: On average, we believe, the expected time to produce results is 90 to 180 days depending on what level of service you choose and how busy we are helping existing clients. Keep in mind that it’s impossible to absolutely predict whether any project will be funded. We want to assure you that if you decide to work with us, we will be dedicated to help you in the best possible way! Submit your business plan now!

Q: What occurs when a Member Accredited Investor shows interest in my startup company?
A: When a Member Accredited Investor shows interest in your company we will refer the investor to you ASAP. You make the final determination whether to continue with that particular investor.

Q: What if I can't afford to pay a retainer to engage your services?
A: EquityInvest.com team will endeavor to offset the retainer in return for a percentage of equity in your company. In addition, we will post your company’s business plan for a fee in the password-protected area on the web for 3 months.

Q: What other services do you provide for startup companies?
A: EquityInvest.com works with startup companies to build up business relationships and partnerships that will result in completing key strategic transactions. We also help businesses to develop successful marketing and infrastructure strategies, structure their proposals or/and business plans, and further approach the right investors to review them. Furthermore, your company can become a user of our computer-matching service; there is a one-time, nominal application fee of $99.99 (to cover our administrative cost) to list your company’s business plan or/and executive summary in the password-protected area on the web for 3 months.

Q: Ok, I have decided to be listed with EquityInvest.com and pay the application fee of $99.99 for 3 months, which information about our company will be made available to Accredited Investors?
A: Your company’s management team decides which information is released to Accredited Investors. Typically, your company’s business plan or/and executive summary are the only key elements made available to Accredited Investors. However, if an Accredited Investor expresses an interest in your company, your company’s management team can then decide whether it wishes to engage in discussions with that Accredited Investor and release additional information about your business.

Q: How can I pay to list my company in the password-protected area on the web for Accredited Investors?
A: You could either use a credit card or send a personal check/money order to our mailing address.

A: Absolutely not! Accredited Investors choose the companies that meet their interests. Only those companies will have an opportunity to communicate with Accredited Investors.
