FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS 

Does Clickwants Equity Partners help start-ups with funding?

No and it’s not because you may have a crazy idea.  Maybe it’s a perfectly valid idea, but if we wanted to gamble we’d go to Vegas.  We don’t work with start-ups of any kind because most start-ups fail and we don’t like to lose.

The greatest marketing in the world won’t help if people don’t want what you’re selling.  The only way we can determine that your business is viable is if you have actual sales and you’ve been in business for at least three years.  So call us in three years when you’ve made it past the start-up phase and then we can help take your company to the next level.

Are Clickwants Equity Partners an investment fund of some type?

No.  Although we sometimes invest capital in our clients’ companies or raise capital for clients, that’s only one part of what we do.  While a capital investment can be helpful in some situations, we can often increase sales and profitability solely though our advanced marketing strategies.

A common mistake that companies make is to throw money at a problem, rather than fixing the problem.  Our objective is always to fix the problem.  If part of the fix involves capital, we can help facilitate that, but we have many other tools at our disposal.

How are you different from other marketing consulting firms?

We put our money where our mouth is.  Most marketing consulting firms are happy to take your money without providing any guarantee of results.  We are highly selective about the companies we work with, but when we do agree to work with a company, we do so on an equity basis, taking an ownership stake in the company instead of consulting fees.  Thus, your out-of-pocket costs are greatly reduced and the relationship is win/win.  We only make money if we help you make more money.

How much of an equity stake do you require to work with my company?

We normally require an equity stake of between 49-75% to work with a company unless you want us to hold more equity stake because of unexpected life situations such as Health illness, death, became overworked, boredom, occupational burnout, capital infusion, lifestyle changes, any other reason, etc. If none of those previous problems are happening it will probably be closer to 49% on average.  However, we prefer that you retain ownership in your existing company and that we spin off a new company to market your products completely independently of your existing company.  In that scenario, we would require a 51% interest in the new company, depending on the deal situation every deal is different we usually work out a win/win deal and keep everyone happy.

The advantage of the second approach is that all the sales generated by the new company can be directly attributed to our marketing, so there’s no ambiguity about where the sales came from.

I’m interested in working with Clickwants Equity Partners, but I’m not looking to sell my company anytime soon.

Our normal business model is based on the idea of growing the company and selling it within 18 to 36 months estimate time some industries a longer time.  If you’re not willing to sell within this time frame give us a call and let us know the situation that  would prevent you from selling we may be able to find a solution for you and keep you on depending on your situation. 

What if I just want to pay you to do my marketing?

We’re open to alternative compensation approaches, but we are not cheap because our team has among the best marketers in the world for most industries.  You will generally get the best value for your money by working with us on an equity basis for a win/win situation.
