A finder is someone who
finds something for a person or business.
The amount paid for this service is called
a finder's fee.
Here are seven tips to help
you make your fortune in finder's fees.
1. A finder simply introduces
a buyer to a seller for a fee. He does not
become involved in the sales process and
is not an agent acting on behalf of the
seller.
2. The best areas to earn
finder's fees are those in which you already
have expertise and interest. For example,
if you are an expert on airplanes and have
connections in the aviation industry, you
could earn finder's fees finding suitable
planes for those needing them.
3. Protect yourself with
written contracts. Also, document all efforts
you have made to earn your finder's fee.
4. You can earn finder's
fees in many areas including equipment (used
or new), equipment leasing, finding locations
for franchises or vending, scarce materials,
commodities, financing, et cetera.
5. Connections are the inventory
of a finder. You are being paid to find
something of value by someone who doesn't
know where (or doesn't have the time) to
find it. Your knowledge of where and who
to get something from is invaluable information
that people are willing to pay for.
6. Just as the business
that sells something pays its sales staff,
likewise the seller generally pays the finder's
fee. The seller is the one that makes a
profit from the sale and so usually is the
one that pays commissions or finder's fees.
7. It is possible to find
finder's fees opportunities offered in magazines,
newspapers, and newsletters. You can find
additional opportunities by doing your own
research. Use your contacts, reference and
phone books at the library, the Internet,
persons you know (or don't know) who might
have the information you need, as well as
other sources to find what is needed.
