FAQ’s

The commitment fee is refundable but is not negotiable, as our company policy.
We have had experiences with some clients who were not committed to our process or failed to comply with the funders’
requirements simply because they did not have any obligation to the process (see also general questions about the deposit) If the
client is either unwilling to pay the commitment fee or cannot afford our low fees, then they just will not be a good fit to the process
nor to our dedicated investments to develop them further toward the important goal of raising capital.

As stated in the contract under the walk away clause, it’s a refundable deposit after 120 days counting from the moment, we send out our package to investors.

This is clearly stipulated in the legal contract.

This is clearly stipulated in the legal contract. Either you ask you deposit back or choose to continue your journey with us.

As your project is pre-screened and we do not accept what is not feasible or we do not have investors for, we dedicate ourselves to
preparing the executive summary, financials, and the know your counterparties (KYC) on behalf of our investors/funders whom we know
personally, so you do not have to worry about this, as it is part of our job! We are iin the advisory business since longtime and believe
strongly that we present our clients in the best way possible.

First, we make our package wich is around 10 working days to complete depending on your input. After that it comes to the CEO his desk,
who is also an investor, and looks at the presentation in this way and not from a CEO of SBFO point of view. Some adjustments and
remarks will be integrated in the presentation, After that project will send out to funders and questions of them will be answered.
Typically, after a couple of week introductions will be made. So, traditional it takes 1 or 2 months on average.

It is a contractual refundable ‘commitment’ deposit if we cannot find you investors and we are bound to realize what we say we do as
SBFO has created a liability against you, so your risk is O. I don’t want to deal with people which are not serious. I can accept 50 projects
per week if everything is paid at the backend.

That commitment is necessary for our work due to a variety of reasons such as:
– There is people who do not provide the information that we need to make the package
– People step out in the middle of the process without any reason
– Some others try to circumvent us at the moment they had an introduction or know the name of the investor(s)
– Others screw it up in front of investors or even not show up
– Some of them even refuse decent proposals and want to impose their conditions
– We already perform a preliminary DD and feasibility on the project and founders on behalf of our investors.

All our clients (more than 60) have submitted this deposit. We cannot and will not allow any exceptions. We have already more than proven what we can do. I understand that you maybe are not familiar with fundraising however take my word if someone does not ask
nothing be sure they are broker/dealers who are just shopping around and the chance to get funded is almost 0.

Yes, we do. We get asked this question several times a week and it is just not possible to give out contact information about our clients that often. Some of these references are clearly mentioned in our newsletter to demonstrate our assurance and provide you with the comfort level you need. If this is really the only thing that is holding you back, we will arrange a meeting with one or two of them. However, to show that you are serious about this engagement, and not simply wanting to meet out of curiosity, we ask that you to sign our NDA prior to an inquiry.
