FAQ’s

What exactly does Expand the Equation do?
Expand the Equation (ETE) is a meeting place where business owners and entrepreneurs looking for financing can interface with investors looking for an attractive investment. In exchange for receiving financing, business owners and entrepreneurs offer equity ownership in their companies and/or agree to some form of credit financing.

 How much does Expand the Equation charge for this service?
Generally, Expand the Equation charges a rate of 3.5% of the total amount of the financing. For example, if a deal is negotiated for $100,000, Expand the Equation will charge $3,500 and administer the remaining proceeds to the business owner requesting the funding. Please note that this fee includes the drafting of legal binding documentation between the two parties. For deals less than $100,000, ETE charges a rate of 4%.

 Is there a minimum or maximum amount that can be requested for financing?
The minimum amount that can be requested for financing is $50,000; there is no maximum.



 What is the minimum amount that can be offered for investment?
The minimum investment is $1,000.



 Is there a guaranteed return on my investment? Is there a guarantee that my investment will be returned?
No. In the case of an equity investment, the investor becomes part owner of the business owner’s company and all relevant laws apply to that arrangement. In the case of debt financing, the borrower promises to pay back the borrowed amount at a specified date with interest. There is no guarantee that payment will be made.
