Listen "Why I Don’t Work on Success Fees for Fundraising Deals"
Episode Synopsis
Raising Money Takes Time and EffortRaising money for a project or business isn’t easy. It takes a lot of time, hard work, and planning. No one is going to help you raise millions of dollars for free. Expecting someone to do all that work without getting paid upfront is unrealistic.Legal ProblemsIn many places, it’s illegal to pay someone only if they succeed in raising money for you. This is because it can break certain laws about how money is raised and who can help raise it. Getting involved in something illegal can cause big problems for everyone involved.Show Your CommitmentIf you don’t have at least 25% of your own money invested from friends, family, and people you know, why would strangers want to invest in your project? When you put your own money into something, it shows that you believe in it. This makes other people more likely to invest, too.The Value of Professional HelpProfessionals who help raise money are experts. They have spent years learning and building connections. They deserve to be paid for their hard work and knowledge. Asking them to work for free isn’t fair and doesn’t respect their expertise.Be Realistic About Raising MoneyThere is no free, easy, or guaranteed way to raise money. You need a good plan, a convincing pitch, and your own money invested to have a chance at success. If you think you can get money without effort, it’s time to think again.Instead of seeking free help, consider the value of paying professionals. This can greatly increase your chances of success. It’s an investment in your business’s future. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
