We don t expect you to make any referrals to us unless you truly believe we will

bring value to the prospective client. We don t even use your name without your

permission. We know your reputation is important, and that you have commitments

to other people, that integrity is critical. In fact, that s precisely why we want to

work together. We believe that once you know us, you will see our integrity,

professionalism and the value we provide in appropriate situations.

 

For over a decade and a half, KANE & COMPANY, INC. has been the only firm

registered with the SEC and NASD at the Underwriter level providing investment

banking advice without the conflicts of interest of full-service firms, which try to

combine that advice with institutional and retail sales, investment advisory services,

research, trading and more.Instead,we focus on sophisticated mergers and acquisition

advice (sell-side and buy-side), financial (fairness, solvency, valuation) opinions and

project management (including underwriting) of public securities transactions.

 

Our Board of Advisors consists of top executives and former executives (generally

CEOs, CFOs, COOs and equivalents) who have an established reputation for

judgment and building value. They are well experienced with, and current on, a

particular business segment, usually with a deep operating background. Our

Advisers make referrals of our firm in the course of their routine activities in

situations where we can appropriately add value to the prospective client. In addition,

some of our Advisors (who commit to formal continuing education and other

regulatory requirements) choose to participate in the execution of some engagements,

where their operational skills provide our clients with special value.

 

Our Advisors generally find situations where KANE can

make a substantial contribution by simply going about

their routine activities. They are successful because

of the combination of their existing contacts and

reputation and our experience and expertise. We

only ask people to be Advisors who we believe can

succeed otherwise it s a waste of our time and

theirs. If we, or someone affiliated with us has given

you this to read, the preliminary assessment is that

you have the necessary qualifications for success.

 

For the right people, joining our Board of Advisers is an enrichment

of life's experience, not a burden.

Substantial Compensation. When we succeed for a client, we are well-compensated

and because of this, we in turn compensate our Advisors commensurately. For

assignments meeting the firm’s intake criteria, $150K to $250K is the norm for

effective introductions based on a fixed percentage of the firm s compensation for

the work and success. Advisors that participate at the highest threshold of involvement

with the Program, such as committing to formal continuing education and other

requirements, can participate in the execution of the engagement, within their

scope of competency, and qualify for compensation 50%+ over that paid for more

casual levels of participation.

 

Unique Professional Experience. The transactional work in which we engage

constitute key events in implementing or realizing the benefits from corporate

value-building strategy. It is where the money meets the idea, and the indicia of

success become measurable. It has the focus of the top corporate echelon, where you

are accustomed to working. It has high stakes and a definite premium on being able to

bring competency to the table. That makes your involvement with us a stimulating

and all around great professional experience.

 

Build Your Own Business Relationships. You may have a formal corporate strategic

consulting practice; you may be retired and contributing strategic insight as a

Board member; or you may be a top executive looking for a new assignment.

Irrespective of your circumstances, because of what you learn and whom you

meet, participation as an Advisor significantly boosts your value in other aspects of

your business life.
