Once I am able to source a potential deal, I would work with a firm to perform the financial analysis such as creating the pro forma, underwriting financial models, partnership structuring, etc. in order to increase credibility on the financial side.Next is when I would be working with a legal team to draft the PPM (506c), Subscription Agreement, Questionnaire, and so forth.
