Always have a written agreement between yourself and the cash investor you are working with.

  • The agreement should not contain any language that might imply a brokerage arrangement. The agreement should be simple and to the point and contain language that as the finder you will be compensated for finding prospective business opportunities, researching an area, finding a willing seller, performing due diligence, researching market conditions, etc..
  • Your agreement should state that you will not negotiate with the seller or any party on behalf of the cash investor, you do not have the ability to bind the cash investor, nor will you serve in a fiduciary capacity to the cash investor.
  • You might also possibly consider becoming a partner with the cash investor. In the finder’s fee agreement it might state that the Finder is entitled to an ownership interest of X% in any opportunity introduced to cash investor by Finder. Further this ownership interest should be convertible to cash at the election of cash investor or within X months after closing on the investment.
