Questions before you begin
Does NACG provide regulated investment advice?
No regulated investment-adviser, broker, law-firm or accounting-practice status is claimed. This is a proposed business and institutional strategy offering.
What should I prepare for an initial consultation?
Bring a short overview of your institution, current operating and licensing status, program plans, intended market and the decisions you need help making. Avoid including confidential student or financial records in an initial inquiry.
What happens after the initial discussion?
A proposed engagement should define the workstreams, deliverables, responsibilities, specialist involvement and commercial terms. No regulator or accreditor decision is represented as assured.
