GENERAL PROCEDURE FOR SECURING PROJECT FUNDING
1. STOP! Take a good look at yourself and your project. Get real and be honest with yourself! If you were an investors, would you invest in your project? Would you risk for example $10 Million in the project? If not, ffuggedaboutit [for get about it] because no one else will!
2. Do you have any money? Be realistic! You have to pay for numerous fees in advance to secure funding. All investors charge loan initiation fees, which can be 1-3% of the amount funded by them. These fees are paid in advance and are not refundable. For all credit facilities, investors charge fees, which are the cost of them doing their due diligence investigation of you and your project, legal fees, and syndication fees. These fees are legitimate! This can be verified by contacting your local investors. For example, check with your local banks for verification. In the United States of America, you can also verify the aforesaid by contacting the Small Business Administration for its fee schedule. If you are unwilling to pay these fees, you never will fund your project. Also, do not say you paid advance fees in the past and never received funding! Consequently, you will no longer pay advance fees. If you paid the fees to major lending institutions and did not receive funding, it was because they determined after doing their due diligence investigation concerning your project it was not worthy of funding. Again note, you will be required to pay for the due diligence investigation in advance. If you know, you and your project are flawed in anyway ffuggedaboutit [for get about it], do not pay any fees! Stop trying to obtain funding because no one will fund your project! The aforesaid will save you thousands of dollars and allot of heart ache. If you continue with your attempts to obtain funding, then you probably are a FRAUDSTER whose sole goal is to cheat the investor.
3. You must be creditworthy and have equity invested in your project for example 10 – 30%. You must have sufficient funds to pay all the fees plus enough cash flow to sustain your project while you are undergoing the funding process. Our investors will not provide you with 100% financing.
4. Please do not waste our time and you time by saying you do not paid the aforesaid fees in advance or you would like to pay the fees upon funding. This is not acceptable to us or our investors.

18) Application Procedures: NOTE: XXXXI does not charge an upfront retainer fee to look at a project and we do not require an exclusive engagement from the Client. We will initially process the Client’s overview of his project for free to determine if it is the sort of project that we want to work on (we turn down initial project funding requests every week). Even though this form will provide basic information for an initial processing review of the Client’s project funding request, the Client should read and agree to what the Application Procedures will be, if after review, XXXX wants to work on the project and do further processing and the Client wants to move forward as well. NO PROCESSING FEE IS DUE WITH THE FILLING OUT OF THIS INITIAL APPLICANT EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW FORM…WE ARE MERELY TRYING TO DETERMINE IF THIS WOULD BE A PROJECT OF INTEREST THAT WE WOULD WANT TO WORK ON. However, even though there is no obligation, the potential Client should concur with these procedures before emailing us back a PDF file of this filled out and executed initial Applicant EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW form. Thank you.
XXXX is a boutique commercial mortgage brokerage and consulting firm. We serve through our mission to be a catalyst to help achieve timely funding results for our Clients. We assist Clients with traditional commercial financing requests but our specialty is working on real estate and business transactions that require creative structuring, that is, “outside the box smart funding assistance”. This structuring can take the form of senior debt financing, mezzanine financing, participating debt, subordinated debt, credit and/or balance sheet enhancement, equity capital, joint ventures, and high leverage financing.
The precise manner in which XXXX will process your funding request is as follows: after the initial discussion, email, fax, and/or inquiry by the Client or broker working on behalf of the Client and receipt of an Executive Overview, XXXX will do an initial processing analysis to determine the probability of securing funding for the Client and also to determine if XXXX wants to work on the Client’s project funding request. If so, XXXX will send an email response outlining to the Client or broker working on behalf of the Client, what specific documentation XXXI will need in a complete package to present to the XXXX Contact underwriting source or XXXX Contact Lender/Investor and the FINANCIAL SERVICES CONSULTING AGREEMENT. After receipt of the complete package and non-refundable XXXX processing fee of $3,500.00 for the overall time, labor, business analysis, mail services, and other internal and external costs on XXXX’s part, that is involved in the attempt by XXXX to obtain funding for the Client’s project, XXXX will then review the complete file and continue processing. If the package is not complete, XXXX may request further documentation so that the review and processing can be as thorough as possible with the information provided; XXXX will then do the business analysis, select the appropriate XXXX Contact underwriting source or XXXX Contact Lender/Investor for that specific project, and then XXXX will package up the file to be sent to that specific, selected XXXX Contact underwriting source or XXXX Contact Lender/Investor for the next phase of underwriting and due diligence.
The XXXX Contact underwriting source or XXXX Contact Lender/Investor will then conduct a careful review of the package. If the Client funding request meets the appropriate criteria, the project will also be pre-qualified by the XXXX Contact underwriting source or XXXX Contact Lender/Investor and a formal proposal will be sent to the Client in the form of a Letter of Interest (“LOI”). The LOI will outline the terms and funding parameters of the transaction available to the Client based on the information available at that time. Upon the Client’s receipt of the LOI, they may visit directly with our XXXX Contact underwriting source or XXXX Contact Lender/Investor to discuss the transaction and ask any appropriate questions, ask for clarifications, or modifications, if needed.
When the Client comes to a comfort level, and a “meeting of the minds” as to the language in the LOI, agreement with the terms of the LOI, and wishes to proceed, then the Client executes the LOI. The execution of the formal LOI shows “good faith” to XXXX and to our XXXX Contact underwriting source or XXXX Contact Lender/Investor that the Client has read, understands, and is in full agreement with the terms of the LOI. Depending on the protocols of the specific XXXX Contact underwriting source or XXXX Contact Lender/Investor chosen by XXXX, they may proceed based on the executed LOI or they may issue a formal Application. If so, it will reflect the terms and conditions of the LOI. At execution of the formal LOI or Application, an Application fee or other type of fee may be required a XXXX Contact underwriting source or XXXX Contact Lender/Investor from the Client, subject to the complexity of the transaction, travel required, and is determined on a case-by-case basis.
Lastly, assuming that the Client provides in a timely manner all of the needed documentation, 3rd party reports as needed, and complies with all underwriting requirements, funding may occur within 30-45 working days after receipt of all the documentation items required by the XXXX Contact underwriting source or XXXX Contact Lender/Investor. (These procedures may vary based on the Applicant’s funding request and the specific XXXX Contact underwriting source or XXXXI Contact Lender/Investor chosen by XXXX that will receive the funding request.)
I, the Applicant, have read, understand, and agree with the above Application Procedures.
