GlobalCrossRoadsCapital.com Debunks Myth of Perceived Advance Fees

(EMAILWIRE.COM, December 14, 2007 ) Las Vegas, NV -- Internet Brands, Inc. recently acquired a Las Vegas-based real estate finance broker forum. This on line forum features a discussion string about the list of legitimate commercial lending and hard money investor fees. The list includes appraisal, environmental, geologic, title search, site inspection, and legal opinion or due diligence. The discussion host states the obvious; no lender will pay client expenses. The exception is, perhaps some fees can be wrapped into the loan package. May be!

Those seeking capital believe they can skip fees by pursuing private investors. However, raising capital beyond a Founders Round of friends and family requires either private or public placement memorandum. Both PPM's/PPO's have mandatory state and federal registration fees. For further details, see our prior report called "All PPM's Must be Registered With the State They are HQ'ed". One exception is the M-1 form indicated under the Keywords centered on our homepage. But this is available only in 1 state.

Investment banks can cost $100K to implement PPM's/PPO's and still take at least 6 months. A State Senator is also a VP for a Nevada investment bank that does accept partial equity in exchange for fees and arranges contract financing to defer the difference. But this appears to be the exception rather the norm nationwide.

There are those who prefer to attract angel investors in hopes of being exempt from any expenditures. Angel investors tend to mitigate their risk by collocating their capital as part of a group. And these groups often require a presentation fee typically ranging from $100 to $1000.

To see the profit return expectations, cap limits, demographic, industry and other limitations of angel investors; see both of our 2 prior reports called "Merits of Asset-based Funding over Equity Capital" and "Why Not to Blame Investors; the Difference between Enquirers & Clients".

Collateralized enhancement financial instruments like stand-by letters of credit or bank guarantees leverage capital for developers of large commercial real estate and infrastructural projects. But these instruments are not free and do require an acquisition or escrow cost from 2% of face value ranging to $100M. Acquisition of pink sheets or reverse merger shells can also easily cost over $200K.

Investor relations media communication firms found nationwide also have legitimate fees such as; monthly administrative fees, multi-media advertising budgets, preferred stock acquisition, sliding scale commissions of funds raised, and/or subscriber fees. Just like the comparison service provided by Progressive Auto Insurance; see our prior report called "IR Media Communications Industry Cost Comparison".
