Remuneration
It is our intent to work with a limited number of clients, whom we believe to have great commercial potential. Pacific Channel customarily requests a retainer based on agreed upon activity and potential success fees in the form of equity and/or cash based on transactional results. These success fees allow us to keep your initial costs lower than client companies would experience otherwise while establishing parallel interests in 'value creation' and the return on our respective investment.
