In the last 25 years, our primary underwriting source has funded over $3 Billion dollars for a variety of commercial project financing and has many Verifiable references to offer potential new clients.

Accredited Investor Portfolio Program
Providing alternative financing
Funding Options For Any Legitimate Enterprise, Project, or Venture…Anywhere!
Great news for tough transactions!
Most of the transactions we see are not going to be approved by any conventional commercial lender or funding source. The GOOD NEWS is that we can assist you! If you are sincerely interested in funding your transaction you need to understand our unique financing program. Read on……
WE CAN DO IT!
Our basis for assisting you is the collateral or underlying business concept. We are not concerned about credit scores; mounds of underwriter paperwork; or other typical conventional lender road-blocks.
We have the capacity to provide the financing structure for virtually any legitimate business, acquisition, and real estate transaction with the “Accredited Investor Portfolio” Program. A loan or equity offering that can be presented to a HUGE group of private investors. We can work with dollar amounts ranging from $50,000 to $100,000,000 for virtually any real estate, or business purpose!
We can help you create a loan or equity transaction that can be presented to unique lenders that include investment groups, trusts, private companies and individual investors who have funds available for investment with Minimum Hassle!
With over 25 years of commercial finance experience, we know the frustration of trying to get a commercial /business deal done that does not fit inside the box of conventional under writing.
Several years ago we discovered that there are other means of obtaining financing when banks say ‘No”. Fore most among these methods are the provisions under the SEC’S guidelines that allow access to “Accredited Investors”, and other financial institutions from the private sector, for equity and/or debt investments.
This legal provision allows entrepreneurs, including commercial real estate owners purchasers, business owners/buyers, and other entrepreneurs, to raise funds from private investors without the burden of doing a full-blown public offering.
With this program there is minimal reporting and legal expense required. The major component is the preparation of comprehensive legal documentation that includes a number of disclosures, agreements, forms, and a business plan for the enterprise. Most legal firms charge, on an average, of$ 15,000 (or more) for this document and do not provide any marketing direction or access to investors. This equity program charges a whole lot less and provide a whole lot more!
What is provided for you is the complete legal preparation and filing under an “Accredited Investor Portfolio” program and submission to hundreds of private investors to finance your transaction is prepared and put your project into the hands of the private sector of the investment market.
Private investors are not as tough on underwriting as banks. Terms are more lenient and the real estate, business, or opportunity under consideration is the primary basis for the deal; not credit or other peripheral issues.
During the last 5 years $70 Billion to over $100 Billion has been raised among private investors using this form of financing! This strategy may be new to you but it is not new to the investment community.
With this legal documentation you may offer equity or loans (with terms the client decides to offer) to a vast number of private investors…investors that you had no access to before.
If you (or your client) believe the transaction you have is solid and viable…and if you have tried conventional, institutional sources and have been turned down…This may be the last avenue to pursue period.
Review the information from this letter and the accompanying list of companies that have been funded and determine if all other avenues have been explored, and if the transaction is really worth the additional effort. If the answer to these two important questions is “Yes”, then you should act on our service. We will assist you every step of the way.
Please Note: We are not lawyers, CPA’s, Mortgage Brokers, Financial Advisors, or NASD Broker Dealers. We are financial consultants with over 25 years of experience in commercial finance.

Q. What special documentation is included in preparing a request for your “Accredited Investor Portfolio” program?
A. The special legal documents that are prepared for this program disclose everything the investor needs to know to make an informed investment decision about the private investment he is considering. This includes: the offering structure, the share structure of the company, SEC disclosures about the securities being purchased or the loan being made, company information, information on company operations, risks involved with the investment, management information, use of proceeds, information on certain transactions that could affect the investor, and investor suitability data. The documents also include the Subscription Agreement, which is the actual “sales contract” for purchasing the securities if you are selling shares., in the event equity is being sold. In the case of a loan, a copy of the Note and Note Indenture is included. These are the documents that the investor will sign and send in with their investment funds. These documents are very important because they provide the investor with all of the prescribed data they will need to make an investment decision and includes the actual documentation to effect the investment transaction. These documents are designed as stand-alone documents – meaning that there need not be other information presented to the investor for them to make an accurate investment decision.
Q. How complicated is this process?
A. While some may believe preparing the legal documentation for this program is a little overwhelming the process is actually very straight forward. We do virtually all of the work of putting the documents together from a checklist we provide you. (See the attached Preliminary Client Commitment Conditions).
Q. Isn’t structuring a securities offering difficult? I don’t have much experience in securities.
A. The structure and marketing of an offer is not difficult provided you have the necessary support, and resources. This r service provides clients with all the required documentation and we even file with the SEC for you. Additionally, marketing support is provided along with an extensive database of active private investors.
Q. How long does it take to structure the offering prospectus and have the client/company ready to market its request to investors?
A. With close communication between our company, and the client, expect the offering memorandum to be completed within 10-15 business days. Delays in receiving the items on the “Preliminary Client Commitment Checklist” can delay the process.
Q. Are your services right for our client/or company?
A. If your client or company is seeking equity capital or private debt financing from $50,000 to $100,000,000 then you will definitely benefit from our “Accredited Investor Portfolio” program. From simple deals like start-up capital for opening a coffee shop to multi million dollar funding for development, or high-tech businesses – these programs will give you the legal, practical method of raising capital from investors. If conventional, institutional lenders are giving you the run-around, or outright declining your request…you need to talk to us…NOW!!
Q. Do I really need to do an offering? I just need a few wealthy investors to invest into my opportunity?
A. Most private companies are capitalized by pooling together investment from a multitude of private investors. The real key to being successful at raising capital from investors is approaching them in a sophisticated manner and providing for them the method of investing into the deal. While you may think that you will be able to find a few very wealthy investors you will actually have a much better statistical chance at raising capital by being able to accommodate a larger number of smaller investors. Super-wealthy angel investors can be hard to find -and even if you do find them you need to approach them with a coherent plan. An Accredited Investor prospectus utilizing the federal government’s offering guidelines will allow you to approach them with a concise, sophisticated method for accommodating their investment. Even if you only have 3-4 investors it still is necessary from a practical and legal standpoint to use this program. The documentation we provide also acts as a control against “vulture” capitalists who see a great opportunity and offer a small amount of funding for the lion’s share of the deal!
Q. Is there any one industry that has better success with these programs than others?
A. No, not necessarily. If your company is seeking capital from investors then you will definitely benefit from these services. Real estate deals often may have an advantage in that they are secured by real property.
Q. What is the success rate of the program?
A. Because these programs are government programs they are open for use by nearly any private company that has the practical or legal need to use them. Therefore, you have those with good opportunities using the programs and others with not so good opportunities. An Accredited Investor Portfolio program offering is not going to change a bad opportunity into a good one – but it will drastically enhance the capability of good opportunities in effectively raising capital. In the end -whether or not you raise capital is still going to be based on your deal. If you have a solid investment opportunity your chances of raising capital with this proven method are good. To comply with SEC requirements, we don’t offer “success rates” or percentages of success.
Q. Will my company be a public company at the end of this process?
A. Absolutely not – a private company will still be a private company.
Q. Doesn’t my company have to go through an expensive registration process with the Securities and Exchange Commission before the prospectus can be marketed?
A. These direct public offerings were designed to be utilized by companies that needed to raise capital in amounts much smaller than a traditional IPO (typical companies raise between $50,000-$50,000,000 under the laws provisions, though there is no dollar limit placed on offerings. The government only requires that an 8 page compliance document be filed and it is an “Information Only” filing – not a filing that is subject to approvals or reviews. This form does not need to be filed until about two weeks after investors send in their funds. Similar forms are filed in the States where actual investors come from.
Q. What are the related costs and fees to an offering?
A. The cost for this program varies with the complexity of the transaction you have, the costs are substantially less expensive than most law firms. Most of these firms charge anywhere from $10,000 to $30,000 just to prepare the offering; no marketing or sales consultation is ever offered by law firms. You will be provided with the complete filing, and more. This service also includes presenting your project to the institutional financial organizations with whom we have built a working relationship. Further, we also will provide you with many additional marketing tools you can use beyond our efforts. Some states have a filing fee to sell securities to investors residing in their state – these filing fees are typically $50-$250.00 and are paid only if the company has raised capital from investors in that state – these fees can also may be deducted from offering proceeds. There is no Federal filing fee.
Q. Does the client have to personally guarantee the invested capital?
A. No!
Q. Once filed the Form D with the How long does it take to raise capital once we have completed the offering memorandum and SEC?
A. This depends on how much time is devoted to marketing, the size of the offering, and the quality of the company’s concept – with an aggressive marketing program the securities may be sold within 45-60 days; sometimes it takes longer.
Q. How do I, as financial consultant or introducing party to the client, get paid?
A. The financial consultant or introducing party simply makes an agreement with the client for their fee to be paid. This may be a one-time fee for connecting them to us, or some other arrangement agreed upon by broker and client. Simply submit this agreement to the escrow or title company closing the deal.
Q. To raise equity capital – how much of a company would need to be sold to investors? What type of return do investors look for?
A. This depends on several factors, however most companies sell between10-30% of their stock for a first round funding – less if it is a second or third round situation. We will work you to determine how much of the company to sell in an equity offering. The other option is to use our program to request a loan from the private investor community. Returns (or rates with loans) vary depending on risk.
Q. If I wish to offer a loan to finance a transaction, what terms are offered?
A. This is largely up to the client. If a situation exists where a deal is not being financed by conventional means it is only logical to offer better than what banks are charging. Rates of 8 – 15% may be necessary to obtain financing. Perhaps 30 yr amortizations could be used with balloons in 3, 5, or 7 yrs. rarely do these offers carry prepayment clauses.
Q. How about a company that is a start-up with very little in assets – are there financial requirements or minimum net worth requirements to use these programs?
A. No! Not for the “Accredited Investor Portfolio” program. A substantial number of clients that successfully use this program are recently formed.
Q. Can we use the programs to raise capital for a real estate transaction, and can we use the programs to raise capital for start-up companies or seed capital situations?
A. Yes! Remember, with the Accredited Investor Portfolio program a client may offer a loan or equity to potential investors. Many real estate professionals and developers use the programs to raise equity capital. and they utilize the enhanced balance sheet of the company post-offering to qualify for real estate loans. That is one of the critical advantages of raising equity -the investment is shown as an asset of the company (cash) rather than a liability as in debt arrangements.
Q. I tried to get financing with other sources but they turned us down – does this hamper our ability to successfully use these programs?
A. No! Individuals who invest this type of program do so because they feel the opportunity being offered is inherently good. They are much less concerned about the traditional bank criteria for lending. Banks are also notorious for not lending to early stage companies with little operating history – Our services are ideal for these situations.
Q. I do not have a good personal credit history – is this a factor in using these programs?
A. No!
Q. What is the best corporate type for an offering? Can it be an “S” Corporation, Limited Liability Company “LLC”, or “C” corporation? Which is best?
A. This depends on the type of transaction. S Corporations do not make good choices for equity offerings simply because most States limit S Corporations on the maximum number of shareholders that can be in the company (usually 35-75). Limited Liability Company “LLC” formats are popular with companies that have a single project (film deals) , real estate development, etc.) where there is a definitive end of the transaction, and with companies that are going to remain private and only need one or two rounds of funding. In an LLC the company sells a membership unit in lieu of stock – it is basically an ownership stake in the company the same as stock ownership is but with some “pass through” tax advantages at the corporate level. C Corporations are the most used entity type because the C corporation structure provides for more flexibility in future rounds of funding and allows for the company to go public without the massive entity restructuring that would be needed in an LLC. Appropriate experts such as attorneys, CPAs, and Financial Planners should be consulted when deciding which structure to choose. We are none of the above We are a consultant firm with over 22 years of experience in commercial and business finance.
Q. Why do you think your services can assist us where conventional lenders said no?
A. We can access many hundreds of private investors. How many investors, conventional, institutional, or otherwise, have you contacted 3, 5, 10? Most likely this is about it. You will be provided with SEC and State security commission documents that enable us to present your deal to HUNDREDS of private investors.
