Engagement Structure
Our engagements are tailored to the specific need of the client. While certain engagements may entail only a single purpose objective - arrangement of debt financing, for example - other undertakings may involve assistance in multiple areas such as growth capital, international business development, arranging high profile board or advisory board members, arranging an acquisition opportunity or acquisition financing, or locating a strategic financial partner. Wall Street Strategic Capital assists both publicly traded and privately held companies in North America and approximately 20 countries around the world.
Our fee structures are benevolent to our clients and consistent with our utilization of a strategic partnership approach. As such, most engagements are comprised of a modest engagement fee or exclusivity arrangement and a mutually agreed upon success fee that is based on the attainment of specific client objectives. To ensure that our efforts are fully aligned with the best interests of our clients, success fees will often include some type of long term participation in the future success of client companies through an option or warrant structure, revenue or profit participation, or carried interest. We will also consider accepting free trade stock in lieu of cash engagement fees for select publicly traded clients, but we will not accept restricted stock as compensation due to unfavorable tax consequences.
Engagement periods may be as short as a few months in duration and may be as long as 6-12 months, or longer - particularly with international business development initiatives or with clients seeking to establish a proprietary fund.
