Finders Agreement Essentials

Summary

A Finders Agreement or Brokerage Agreement is necessary for firms seeking investors for others. Key elements include scope of services, compensation, exclusivity, term and termination, and confidentiality. The agreement should clearly define the services provided, how the firm will be compensated, whether the firm has exclusive rights, the duration of the agreement, and confidentiality terms. It is governed by Wisconsin laws and requires both parties signatures. Consider consulting a legal professional for personalized advice or adjustments.
