Hopefully its a bookkeeping error you can fix, otherwise all you can really do is make sure its legit.   

I went through this with one of the platforms I just can't remember which one.  

I know there are crow funding platforms on the internet and that could possibly be a good source, but for a newbie like myself.. that might be a tough task. have you used other sources, like accountants, financial planners or other similar sources that one can work with to raise funds..

Legit question since I'm not sure about your local laws. 

One reason I built this platform would be to empower people to get the 1M folks to 8M and then see what they would create.

Seems legit.

Especially while meeting so many different people on a platform like BP? 

Not because the online platforms are bad, but because they give you a better long term understanding of your business and can struture your filings today.  

So we started doing monthly estimates, then "true up" every three months with a legit read. 

My lender is just allowing me the privilege, of using their platform to say I have thefunds in the double closing.
