    Hi All,

    I am looking at raising some private equity in order to undertake a small development. My solicitor suggested I approach some financial planners and operate under the 1220 rule ( maximum of 20 investors or $2mil.) Can anybody offer any advice as to how you think I should proceed with this? In my proposal with the planners should I offer them commission on the funds lent by their clients?

    All suggestions are greatly appreciated,

    Regards,
    Charlie

    Charlie,

    Why do you need Private Money?

    For a 'small' development, the costs of establishing an investment pool, drawing up the necessary documents, determining pricing, repayment frequency etc etc would hardly be worth it. Even for a bigger project, organising all that on your own is a pain. Why not just have someone look at the proposal, qualify you properly and find a 'best fit' solution for you.
    If you have any information available, I would be happy to assist. I have a healthy range of funding optionf from majors, right through to wealthy groups and even cashed up individuals that can assist.

    I look forward to hearing from you so I may be of assistance.

    Charlie,

    I actually specialise in development finance. Have you experience in development? Or can you appoint a project manager? If so, have you conducted a feasibility study on the project? Are you putting any "hurt money" into the deal? An investor likes to see a developer reaching into his pocket first. If you can answer yes to these questions there is a good chance a profitable project can get off the ground.

    Its hard to say, as there are so many aspects….. It may require pre-sales, although I am able to satisfy that need with either investors or a pre-sale product that will satisfy the bank's pre-sales requirement.

    I have access to quite a few banks, specialist construction funders and private investors. Don't approach financial planners. You should be able to raise the funds.
