Global Star Capital has prepared a list of FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS.  This section is highly informative and key toward moving forward with your project.  We are extremely transparent as a company and have a strict protocol based on decades of performance.

Commercial and Intellectual Property Projects

How long have you been in business?  The Global Star family of companies has been in business since 1991. Please view the COMPANY HISTORY section of the web site for explanation.

What does it cost me to submit a project for review?  We work for free reviewing your documentation plus qualifying you and your project.

Are you affiliated with Globalstar Capital Corp.?  No.  Globalstar (all one word) Capital Corp. is part of the telecommunications giant Globalstar and located in Milpitas, CA USA. We have no affiliation with Globalstar Telecommunications or their subsidiaries. We have had potential clients in the past confuse what they have read on Globalstar Capital Corp. with our company.  Two items in particular are a posting on a blog web site whereas a title only line appears and a court case from 2001 between Tomei v. Globalstar.  Again, we have NO AFFILIATION with Globalstar Capital Corp and we have never been involved any court cases as a defendant.  

Why is it mandatory that I read the web site in full before speaking with Mr. Cocovich?  The answer is simple.  You are looking for funding.  You need to follow the rules and protocols of those who can achieve your goals.  Our protocol is in place because it is proven and mandatory by the very private funding sources you can never reach on your own. The protocol is also administered in a way to expose any individuals or groups who are unethical, cannot follow directions or are not solvent. .If you can follow the protocol, you will succeed.  Otherwise, you will fail to gain our attention. 

 A face to face meeting is required between you and our Founder Mr. Cocovich under the standard meeting fee schedule listed further down in this section.  Mr. Cocovich is the top consultant in our industry.  World Governments down to individuals have retained his services.  

At the meeting, Mr. Cocovich begins constructing the game plan to attract the funding attention that is needed for your project.  You are educated fully as to why this is critical to your success at the face to face meeting.  The high end professional game plan step is what separates Global Star Capital from the novice entities and unethical people inside the funding world.  Mr. Cocovich is in place for a reason. He is in place to create the overall game plan in order to present to the facilitators and entities of many high net worth individuals and trusts.  He has been servicing this industry for two decades.  We are in business to present solvent projects and their principals to the decision making entities who we work with everyday.  We also fund projects internally depending on the sector. We hold the ability and knowledge to present projects in the proper way, exactly how true funding sources require the presentation.  Just having your business plan and financial data is NOT good enough.  It takes a massive amount of preparation to present a project properly, therefore our engagement is completely warranted.  You will be quite comfortable and learn more if we accept your project to move forward.

Global Star Capital becomes your most trusted guide in assisting your project in acquiring the attention necessary to administer funding that has eluded you.  

If Mr. Cocovich decides to offer me a mandatory face to face meeting to pursue my project further, what are his meeting fee requirements that are part of the mandatory protocol?  Mr. Cocovich requires compensation for his time based on the standard consulting fee structure.  Do not let the meeting/consulting fee deter you.  This meeting will be the cornerstone to achieving your goal and EVERY client since 1991 has followed through with this protocol--it is not for negotiation. This is NOT an upfront fee as your project will be analyzed, you will speak to two levels of executives inside Global Star Capital and preparation time will be administered on your project well before the face to face meeting.

Will there be references given during the process by the sources?  Yes.  After you are given green lights by the private sources, which come only by following the protocol perfectly and fully as game planned by Global Star Capital, references are given by the private sources and their head underwriters.  All Global Star Capital clients have signed NDA's with the sources and/or their facilitators which PROHIBIT them from speaking with any entity at any stage unless the source gives consent. Consent will only happen if you are placed into the hands of the source. This is private funding and the operative word is "private". Private people do not want to be bothered by just anyone searching for capital. They have an army of professionals that sit in front of their family members, assets and investment capital.  They have a system and protocol in place to make sure that the projects they fund are worthy enough for their money and investment--he or she who has cash is king or queen.  Global Star Capital is proud to be an important part of this process and has been for decades.

I am a "Broker", Intermediary, CPA or Attorney who has a hard time getting a deal closed. How do I submit a project into Global Star Capital in order for your Founder Rich Cocovich to work with my client directly?  You MUST BE fully screened to submit projects into Global Star Capital. You MUST visit the INTERMEDIARY/BROKER section to get started.  DO NOT SUBMIT A PROJECT WITHOUT BEING FULLY SCREENED.  DO NOT waste time testing our system because you will fail.  Furthermore, also realize that our founder, Mr. Cocovich, has been highly successful as an entrepreneur, consultant and C.E.O. since 1991.  He will not waste time with pushy or novice people who have their own philosophies (which are obviously not working) as they continue to search for capital.  In addition, it baffles us when we see individuals posing as "brokers" who are not actually licensed to use that title.  Your clients and all solvent principals deserve the proper representation.  Therefore, we have taken the time to create a screening process for protection of all parties.  If you are serious and want to succeed, you will follow through on the mandatory requirements and the process in the Intermediary/Broker section.

***A special note to project principals---We created the screening process to expose the unethical, novice or fly by night individuals that feast on unsuspecting principals.  In addition, this screening process allows us to qualify the individual representing the principal previous to the project.  We demand to know if the representing individual is actually ethical.  We have seen it all--anywhere from stay at home moms who say they are "money brokers" and can acquire "letters of intent in two days" to workers at your favorite coffee house who pose as intermediaries or money brokers on their breaks.  We have also seen these types of entities try and steal our consulting philosophies.  All of these entities fail because they cannot deliver for their clients.  They also do not have two decades plus worth of experience and a crystal clear track record such as Mr. Cocovich.  When novices are feeding their babies or serving coffee while speaking with you, Mr. Cocovich is meeting with clients who have the desire, vision and ability to engage him in order to achieve their goals.***

I have been in contact with less than desirable brokers, people claiming they will provide a funding source and bogus companies claiming they are funding sources.  Is Global Star Capital just another one of these companies?  Absolutely not.  We are completely transparent and you will make decisions in your process that are based on perfectly explained steps and goals.  We have different avenues to fit your project requirements.  If we cannot provide an avenue toward the funding of your project after reviewing your documents thoroughly, we will inform you.  In all private funding there are required, mandatory steps. In our protocol, the steps are the vital link to achieving your goals. Remember, our founder is the top consultant in our industry.  He is not a broker.    

I have more than one other partner and we equally make decisions, will you work with us?  Yes.  HOWEVER, we have found that 99% of the time when there are multiple partners that make "equal" decisions, a deal will never close due to the egos and internal fighting of the principals.  We always encourage that a sole principal be named for leading a group.  If you follow our lead, we will be sure to make this all smooth for you.  Please read the above over and over because if you have more than one decision maker, this is vital information.  

I have read blogs, chat reports, chat room conversations about paying fees and how all fees are bogus.  Can you explain your views on fees?  First, Mr. Cocovich is a high end professional and has been for decades.  High end professionals perform services that obtain results.  If you think you will be funded without a high end service and a thorough game plan plus want everything in life for free, you should quit searching for capital right now.  

Second, never believe everything you read on the internet in terms of the private funding world, especially from people who are unwilling to provide their full name, address and telephone number or just critique, defame, slander or perform libelous statements via blog sites. Global Star Capital releases all of our contact information at the stage of potential clients speaking directly to our founder. Private people do not live in the Google search engine world.  Most negative postings pertaining to private funding on line are from disgruntled people who ask for a mountain of money but cannot afford their car payment or are unsuccessful "brokers".  Anyone could literally take your name and project, post it on the internet in five minutes and state that it is the worst project in the world----and people would believe what was typed. 

Third, anyone who critiques our protocol without being a client, which means making it through our entire process, is living in the minor leagues of our industry.  There are only a few people privy to the protocol that have not been clients of ours.  We are in high demand because solvent people who understand that true professionals are paid accordingly hire us on to obtain results..  

Fourth, in any loan or process, there are fees involved.  In any contract there are fees involved.  Our job at Global Star Capital is to minimize those fees for our clients and provide them with a reputable avenue to fund their project--one who gives green lights through our hard work.  We are professionals in the same category as corporate attorneys or certified public accountants.  Our clients understand the value of the services we provide.  

Never let the chance of your project being funded become ruined by our nominal consulting fee.  If you cannot afford our nominal fee then you should not be looking for funding.  In today's markets, a make or break on funding a project should not be because of unwillingness to pay standard--and in our case nominal--fees that all lenders and professionals require. 

I have a hired person on my team who advises me that "Death and Taxes" are the only thing guaranteed in life. They have always found a way to advise me "no" when dealing with people.  What are your views on this topic?  If you are paying ANYONE to give you advice that "Death and Taxes" are the only guarantees in life, you are wasting money.  For the most part, we have never met an advisor or attorney that could actually fund a deal themselves.  That should sum up our views of the topic.  

Does Global Star Capital ask for any equity in projects?  Typically the answer is no, our company does not as the lending sources (other than our own money) frown upon pieces of equity divided up before a project appears on their table.  Sometimes our clients are so impressed by our services that they will offer us a percentage stake as a kind gesture or to make the deal work.  We have received equity stakes of anywhere from 1% to 10% (outside of funding projects ourselves) from these kind gestures and appreciate them immensely.    

Why do I have to provide a multitude of documentation on my project? It is required by the decision makers who control the funding to have all of the proper documentation in order.  We want to be able to present your project in the right way to the companies that facilitate for the sources. The sources require all of the documentation we ask for in their stages.  Our philosophy is to gather the documentation in the early stages in order to show that you are serious.  By doing a thorough job, we lessen the time frame it will take going toward funding and show our full value to our clients.  Those who are lazy fail.  Those who are cheap and want everything in life for free or "wrapped into funding" fail.  Those who follow our protocol succeed in having their project entertained by the avenues responsible for the investment capital.  However, if you do not have a business plan, yet have thorough expertise in the project you want/need funding for, we will work with you in helping you create the documents. 
 
I belong to a couple of large social networking sites on line where I can shop my project to "brokers".  What do you think about those services?   We literally think that you are wasting your time.  We have NEVER met a "broker" or intermediary who has come from the large social networking sites that knew what they were doing or could service a client to the final goal. Our screened subsidiaries will save you from the unethical entities on these sites.  In fact, we created our screening program because of all the novice people that fester on those web sites and give terrible advice to unsuspecting people with great projects.  Our company is owned by the top consultant in the world for private funding and has been for decades.  Therefore, we have seen and heard it all over the years including working in any sector imaginable..  

Please explain the project funding protocol to me: Global Star Capital bridges the gap between solvent entities who are looking for project funding and/or equity partners and debt lending entities in the commercial or intellectual property arena.  We are hired consultants and perform accordingly.  We work with projects and individuals worldwide.  The services for attracting a funding source avenue through their facilitators for our clients have been perfected over the course of many years.  An entity who can physically fund a project with their own capital or a "pooling" of capital within their organization relies on facilitators and those entities rely on us to bring solvent projects to their system.  These sources include private individuals, private trusts, equity groups etc. 

Global Star Capital consults the client (i.e. you) first, then deals directly with private appointed individuals or companies that facilitate for our sources--people who are also in place for a reason.  This means that we are not "brokers".  We are high end consultant intermediaries and paid professionals accordingly.  We are in charge of bringing solvent projects to the lending sources through their appointed entities in order for profits to be made by the lending of their money.  We have a unique situation that allows us to construct a game plan for our clients based on the parameters directed to us by the appointed entities of the funding sources who have us in place for a reason.  There is no entity that is representing you (or trying to represent you) that is in our position.
 
We thoroughly review projects internally.  We then make a decision if the project is worthwhile to move forward.  After review, our founder then speaks with you personally via telephone and then after his engagement in a face to face meeting.  Once we have all the documentation needed for your project and after you speak with our founder, the hard work performed as your professional consulting team begins with a process that has been proven and perfected over multiple decades.  It is CRITICAL that you understand that hard work is the main factor in obtaining the proper attention for the funding of your project.  Mr. Cocovich becomes part of your entire team.  You will obviously go through the funding source's due diligence and then closing. 

Why is your web site not "flashy" and created in a simple manner?  We always laugh when we get this question.  Honestly, the answer is simple.  We roll up our sleeves to work for you and we are not "flashy".  We have clients from around the world who do not have high speed connections.  Mr. Cocovich also updates his blogs etc. from remote areas of the world while traveling to meet clients.  We use a basic system in order to ensure fast updates and quick access to our information.  Our system does not fail us or our clients and that is what we feel is most important.

Do you charge "Up Front Fees"?  No.  Please make sure that you are 100% educated on the definition of  "Up Front Fees".  We have a nice piece in our BLOG section of the web site to assist you.  Reviewing your documents and speaking with you via phone is free and should be considered a privilege as you will have to explain why your project is worthy of funding and/or finding an equity position partner or PPM related issues etc.  We do not want to hear your philosophies about fees and how our business should be run.  Unless you can outshine our services and have a founder who has been an instrumental force in our industry since 1991, we are the service you NEED.  Obviously your philosophies have not worked to the point of reading this information, so now it is time to be properly represented.

I do not have a full business plan, financial projection etc., but I know that I have a great idea.  Do you have additional services that can help me construct my plan?  Yes.  Global Star Capital's Founder Rich Cocovich can assist in constructing a plan for you as a consultant.  You must be aware that professional services in business plan development, pro-formas etc. are not cheap.  Therefore, he can assist you once he is engaged (and assuming your project is deemed worthy of funding).  He will save you thousands of dollars in assisting you.   

WE HOPE THE ABOVE HAS HELPED YOU.  THE PROTOCOL IS ETCHED IN STONE.  IF YOU WANT RESULTS, PLEASE BEGIN AT THE PROJECT APPLICATION SCREEN IF YOU ARE A PRINCIPAL.  

IF YOU ARE A "BROKER" OR INTERMEDIARY  THAT HAS NOT BEEN SCREENED AS OF THIS READING, PLEASE BEGIN AT THE INTERMEDIARY/BROKER SCREEN.
