Bruce D. Schulman & Associates is involved from the start of the process advising you on what type of financing is best to the price you should pay all the way to the end of the process or the closing. BDSA is also active in the due diligence process, supplying the financing sources with the information that they need to satisfy their requirements. After BDSA identifies the opportunities available, the client is provided with viable choices, creating value through competition. BDSA receives a success fee only when the client makes the final choice and the transaction is completed. BDSA fees are back-end loaded. Success fees vary according to the type of financing that is raised. Debt has the lowest percentage and equity the highest. The aggregate fee, paid at the closing, is a percentage of the money raised and is governed by the size and complexity of the transaction. The time required to complete a financing ranges from three months to six months. More time is needed for a complicated transaction, e.g. the funding requirements of an acquisition of a company. Consequently, BDSA incurs different costs that need to be paid by the client including, but not limited to, the reimbursement for client authorized out-of-pocket expenses. These costs are non refundable. BDSA considers their payment to be a demonstration of your commitment to successfully conclude a transaction and as further recognition to the time and effort needed to complete a transaction.
