Due Diligence Verification Packages
Allow us to verify the information that your client's and counterparty's present and offer you a public record due diligence package for your review. This allows you to address any concerning items like litigation, negative press, public records indicating financial distress, etc. in an effort to avoid surprises. It also allows you to meet regulatory "Know Your Customer" requirements with minimal effort on your part to reasonably verify the public record information presented to you by the client.
Compliance Related Administrative Support
We understand that while Representatives respect compliance, they don't necessarily want to "be" compliance. For those of you working with non-exempt entities under the FinCEN CDD Rule, let us handle the conversations with your client regarding regulatory compliance matters. In accordance with the Patriot Act, we are required to verify personal identifying information on beneficial owners of entities that are not otherwise considered exempt under FinCEN's CDD Rule. We are happy to facilitate the paperwork portion of the regulatory compliance process with your clients and counterparties directly and provide a secure portal through which they can provide any sensitive information.
If you prefer to remain the sole contact with all parties, we fully support that and will be happy to provide you with exactly what is required and why in order to start these conversations.
Matchmaking and Referral Opportunities
Our robust network of professional investment entities and Representatives provides access to potential opportunities and other professionals in the industry, if and when you need them. We know that you have a network and your own pipeline, but when you know you are not the right fit and want a reputable referral or when you have exhausted that network and the client wants to continue to see what is out there, we are here to help.

In addition to our compliance review, each securities transaction data room and purchase agreement draft go through review with our legal counsel. They will not make changes to a purchase agreement or make unreasonable due diligence requests of your clients, however, they will review for any issues, lack of information to make an informed decision, and relay guidance based on their experience in the industry if they feel it appropriate. Our legal firm is Johnson, Pope, Bokor, Ruppel & Burns, LLP.
