7.4.3 Funding

The poor do not have the resources to pay for their own training. The experience of nearly twenty years of structural adjustment has conclusively demonstrated that merely 'getting prices' and creating the appropriate enabling environment' for farmers and microenterprises is not sufficient in order to ensure a strong 'supply response'. Public resources are urgently needed, therefore, to tackle the most serious constraints that are preventing high and sustained economic growth among the poor.

As discussed earlier, apart from poor, marginal farmers, the provision of formalised training inputs is not generally regarded as a top priority. In the competition for donor resources, NGOs have successfully made the case for microcredit as the most critical input that can immediately improve the livelihoods of the poor, and particularly women. There are those who have serious reservations with this argument, but for the time being at least, the current fashion for financial services is likely to continue.

Why pay a Consultant? - Consultants can bring you into contact with a Funding Source but how do you tell whether a consultant will be successful beforehand? Professional Consultants ALWAYS ask for some kind of retainer so that they can feel they're not being used by a 'chancer'. However, when raising funding, a real consultant will offer to REFUND THAT RETAINER out of the % BROKERAGE he charges, payable once he finds your Funding Source, and payable from initial disbursements. Retainers only cover part of the costs that a consultant has to pay while working on behalf of the Client. Their real wages come from the agreed upon Brokerage, received when they are successful on the Client's behalf.

stock registration - robertj- Actually my offering is for a private placement of stock in my privately owned company. The documentation that I would send out to any interested party is approved by the SEC under the classification of "Reg D 504". It is the only private placement offering that the SEC allows for no registration requirements at all as long as I accept no more than $1,000,000.00 and the offering is good for only 1 years time. I assure you that we are all above board here at Phoenix Global Funding.
