Frequently Asked Questions

The online platform connects companies seeking investor roadshow support with experienced consultants. It provides a secure marketplace where companies can identify, evaluate and engage consultants based on their location, expertise, sector knowledge and experience.

Companies can either:

• ·Invite selected consultants directly to submit a proposal for a specific roadshow, or
• ·Publish an "Open Roadshow" opportunity that pre-qualified consultants can respond to.

Consultants submit proposals through the platform, and the company then reviews submissions before selecting its preferred consultant.

Your consultant profile can be viewed by registered companies using the platform to identify potential consultants. Your profile is designed to help companies assess your experience and suitability before inviting you to participate in a roadshow.

Your profile is often the first — and sometimes only — information a company reviews before deciding whether to invite or appoint you. We encourage you to include:

• ·Professional experience
• ·Relevant industry background
• ·Sector expertise
• ·Core competencies
• ·LinkedIn profile
• ·Professional photograph
• ·Location and geographic coverage (and languages)
• ·Any additional information that differentiates your services

A complete profile significantly improves your visibility and competitiveness.

Yes. You can update your profile whenever your experience, expertise or availability changes.

Only the company that issued the invitation or published the roadshow opportunity can view your proposal. Other consultants cannot access your submissions.

You may edit your proposal until the submission deadline. Once the deadline has passed, proposals are locked for evaluation.

You do. Consultants determine their own commercial terms and pricing when preparing each proposal.

No. The platform does not set or negotiate consultant fees. Pricing is entirely at the discretion of each consultant.

Registration on the platform is free.

Submitting proposals is free.

Once appointed, the consultant works directly with the company regarding project delivery, scheduling and day-to-day communications, unless otherwise agreed.

The platform facilitates introductions between companies and consultants by:

• ·Hosting consultant profiles
• ·Publishing roadshow project opportunities
• ·Managing invitations and proposals
• ·Supporting the selection process with technology (not decision making)

The platform is not a party to the consulting engagement unless specifically stated in the engagement terms.

Payment arrangements are agreed directly between the consultant and the company unless the platform offers an optional payment service.

Unless otherwise advised, consultants invoice the company directly in accordance with the agreed commercial terms.

The platform is paid a booking fee by companies, not consultants. All fees and commissions are clearly disclosed in the Terms of Use.

Importantly, the platform does not alter the commercial fee agreed between you and the company — the booking fee is paid by the company to the platform on top of your fee, not subtracted from it.

Consultants may submit proposals in the currency specified by the company or another mutually agreed currency.

We encourage both parties to resolve payment issues directly. Where appropriate, the platform may assist by facilitating communication, but it is not responsible for payment obligations between the parties unless payment has been processed through the platform.

You will receive email notifications when:

• ·You are invited to submit a proposal.
• ·New Open Roadshow opportunities match your expertise.
• ·Important platform updates are available.

No. Invitations depend on company requirements, your expertise, sector specialisation, geographic coverage and the strength of your profile.

Companies can either search for consultants using filters such as sector expertise, geographic coverage and consultant rating, or they can publish an Open Roadshow opportunity for consultants to respond to. Maintaining a complete and up-to-date profile increases your visibility and likelihood of being matched.

Yes. Once a company has identified you as a potential consultant, communication may occur through the platform or directly, depending on the engagement process.

Consultants are assessed and assigned one of four platform ratings:

• ·REGISTERED — has experience and has been verified to register on the platform
• ·SPECIALIST — as above, and with a specific sector or market focus
• ·PREMIUM — as above, but with more than 5 years of roadshow programs
• ·EXPERT — as above, but with more than 10 years of roadshow programs

Ratings are determined by the platform administration based on profile quality, experience and other assessment criteria. Importantly, ratings are not AI generated but result from peer review. The best way to achieve a higher rating is to maintain a detailed profile and always include a photograph and your LinkedIn URL.

Yes. Ratings may be reviewed periodically as your experience, profile and engagement history develop.

Following the completion of a roadshow, companies may be invited to provide feedback on their experience. We do not publish this feedback, but we may use it to improve the platform for future engagements.

Where appropriate, consultants may be contacted by us to respond or provide additional context.

We do not publish reviews. However, the platform reserves the right to investigate negative feedback in accordance with its policies, which would involve contacting a consultant for their views.

If issues arise during an engagement, you should first attempt to resolve them directly with the company. If assistance is required, the platform support team may help facilitate discussions where appropriate.
