Do you personally know relevant commercial-banking decision-makers, or would you rely primarily on cold outreach? Have you previously placed financing for a foreign-owned U.S. corporation? Have you worked with royalty, licensing, intellectual-property or other contractual cash flows? Can you restrict the mandate entirely to regulated U.S. commercial banks and obtain approval before contacting each institution? Do you accept the milestone and closing-bonus compensation structure described above?
