Answers to Your Questions about Becoming An Asset Protection Consultant

 Q.    What is an ASSET PROTECTION CONSULTANT?

A.    An ASSET PROTECTION CONSULTANT is an individual working under contract with Bridgeway Financial Corporation (BFC) to provide services to clients in his or her local area. He or she has successfully been trained and coached by the founder of Bridgeway Financial Corporation, John Ewing, and his staff. An ASSET PROTECTION CONSULTANT receives administrative and logistical support from BFC.

Q.    Is Bridgeway Financial Corporation a franchise operation?

A.    No. Each ASSET PROTECTION CONSULTANT is an independent contractor working through BFC. The consultant neither purchases franchise rights from BFC nor shares a percentage of earnings with BFC — as a franchisee would. The consultant receives a fee from his or her clients and pays BFC for providing materials and services. The balance (often close to 70 percent of the total fee) belongs to the consultant. Incidentally, this is not a multilevel marketing (MLM) scheme either. As an ASSET PROTECTION CONSULTANT you make money by serving clients and providing their entities.

Q.    What fees do you suggest I charge for services?

A.    As an independent contractor, you are free to set your own fees. For each Nevada corporation, Bridgeway Financial Corporation suggests you charge your client $2,990 including state filing fees. You earn a gross profit of $1,800 (see our compensation guidelines).

        For each Nevis corporation asset protection and financial privacy package, BFC suggests you charge your clients $3,990, which includes all filing fees. You earn a gross profit of $1,800 (see our compensation guidelines).

Q.    I’ve read about recent changes in bank secrecy laws in Nevis and other offshore countries. Does this affect our products?

A.    Not at all. These changes, some of which are the result of the events of September 11, deal with terrorists, as well as with drug dealers, money launderers, and tax cheats. We do not represent criminals. We are in the business of protecting the assets of honest, hardworking individuals from greedy lawyers. All corporate accounts offshore are, and will continue to be, outside the jurisdiction of any U.S. Court or government agency. Remember, even though the corporation is located in the Nevis, your client’s funds remain in US dollars invested through reputable financial institutions in the Cayman Islands.

Q.    What about the so-called “USA Patriot Act”? Isn’t it going to make it much more difficult for people to protect their assets — especially from the government?

A.    This new law presents an unprecedented opportunity for ASSET PROTECTION CONSULTANTS. Here are the facts:

A few weeks after the warlike acts of terrorists on September 11, 2001, President Bush signed into law the “Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act” commonly called the USA Patriot Act. This federal law gives all domestic federal law enforcement agencies and international intelligence agencies sweeping new powers unchecked by meaningful judicial review.

The Act continues the relentless trend of granting federal courts and government agencies increased access to personal financial information rather than attempting to prevent further intrusions. Senator Russell Feingold of Wisconsin offered the only criticism of the Act in his thoughtful presentation to Congress. Under withering criticism including people questioning his patriotism, he bravely stated that, “The new law goes into a lot of areas that have nothing to do with terrorism and have a lot to do with the government and the FBI having a wish list of things they want to do, whatever it be getting into people’s computer use, financial records, or other areas not related to terrorism.”

Therefore, the answer is YES — until or unless the constitutionality of this act is tested in the Supreme Court, the government will have unbelievable access to your clients’ financial records and assets — unless they have been carefully protected!

       A Nevada Corporation will continue to provide the best asset protection available, without leaving the country, against lawsuits and routine government searches. But it probably will not stand against a government agency willing to play the terrorism card as a way to get to your clients’ records. Therefore the only completely bulletproof asset protection remains an IBC. Far from deterring your clients from purchasing your asset protection and financial privacy packages, the “USA Patriot Act” clearly provides an incentive to your clients to give themselves the best possible asset protection with an international business company (IBC).

Q.   I’ve seen Nevada and Nevis corporations advertised at “bargain basement” prices. Does this affect BFC’s business?

A.  Bridgeway Financial Corporation and its consultants do not just sell Nevada or offshore corporations. We sell BULLETPROOF ASSET PROTECTION and TOTAL FINANCIAL PRIVACY along with completely legal TAX-REDUCTION STRATEGIES. However, Nevada and offshore corporations are tools used within our packages, which also contain — as standard fare — many services that few if any competitors offer at any price. These services include customized privacy with our nominee service, federal tax ID number, assistance in establishing corporate bank and brokerage accounts without using your client’s Social Security number, and our consulting membership that allows unlimited toll free calls and/or e-mail queries for assistance from our experienced staff.

Plus, don’t forget that our packages include individual, in-person consultations with our carefully screened and personally trained ASSET PROTECTION CONSULTANTS, who individually customize our packages for each client — to meet their needs for total asset protection and financial privacy. Also those clients who set up a Tax Savings Nevada Corporation, receive a free, two-hour tax strategy consultation with Nevada’s premier tax accounting firm along with a completely free review of their past three years personal and business tax forms to find opportunities to realize refunds on taxes they have already paid! When all of this is factored in, our suggested fees are not only extremely competitive, they’re true bargains.

Q.    Does BFC (as nominee) have access to my client’s funds?

A.   Absolutely not! As nominee officers, BFC only acts at the behest of your client, the shareholder/owner of the corporation. If your client instructs Mr. Ewing to open a bank account or brokerage account, your client designates who is to be the signer on the account. With an offshore corporation, your client enjoys total privacy while maintaining total control of the funds in any corporate account. It’s the best of both worlds!

Q.    How do I get paid?

A.   The simplest way is for you to collect directly from your client and pay Bridgeway Financial Corporation for its services. You retain the balance as profit. BFC will not begin the process of creating a Nevada corporation or an offshore corporation until it has the funds in hand.

If you, or your client, should prefer to use BFC’s credit card merchant account or check services, you may do so. In that case the fee you have quoted to the client, plus applicable filing fees, will be charged to the client’s credit card. BFC will deduct its cost and send you a check for the balance.

Q.   What kind of expenses might I have?

A.    As an ASSET PROTECTION CONSULTANT your cost of doing business can be quite low. You may choose to have an office or formal place of business, but you don’t have to. You may work from home if you prefer. You will have normal telephone and automobile costs. And you will need a computer and a fax.

When you become an ASSET PROTECTION CONSULTANT, you will receive a startup supply of sales materials. You may order additional sales materials from BFC as you need them.

You will learn some relatively low cost ways to use marketing to attract prospects. You may spend as much or as little as you please.

Q.    Do I need to be an attorney or an accountant to be an ASSET PROTECTION CONSULTANT?

A.   Definitely not! You are providing your clients with products—asset protection and financial privacy packages using a Nevada corporation or an offshore corporation and tax-reduction strategies using a Tax Savings Nevada Corporation. You are not providing legal or accounting services. The actual filing of legal papers in Nevada and the Nevis is handled by paralegal's employed by BFC. Your Tax Savings Nevada Corporation clients are referred to the accounting firm of Adams, Ewing, Craft & Barry, LLC for all tax and accounting matters.

Q.    I already market expensive offshore trusts. Won’t your products conflict with them?

A.    No, they open a new market for you among people who want asset protection, but can’t or won’t pay the high cost of offshore trusts. And many of your trust clients may like the convenience and flexibility of Nevada or Nevis corporations in addition to their trusts. Also, your existing clients offer you a ready market for Tax Savings Nevada Corporations. When you show them how they can keep much more of their own money and pay the government a lot less in taxes, they’ll be interested in adding tax-reduction strategies to their financial planning.

Q.    Can I operate this business in conjunction with something else?

A.    Definitely. As with other kinds of new ventures, many people prefer to start their careers with Bridgeway Financial Corporation on a part-time basis, while retaining the security of their present positions. And if you are already an attorney, accountant, financial planner, or insurance underwriter, becoming an ASSET PROTECTION CONSULTANT simply gives you an excellent way to earn additional profits.

Q.   Will being an ASSET PROTECTION CONSULTANT support my full-time attention as a stand-alone business?

A.    Absolutely, as long as you are willing to work at it like any other business. The suggested fees are extremely competitive in the asset protection area. Your gross profits that on some transactions can come close to 70 percent provide a tremendous profit margin. And as your client base expands, word of mouth alone can bring you a good number of clients each month.

Q.     How will I locate and attract clients?

A.     As an ASSET PROTECTION CONSULTANT, you are also taught a variety of ways to meet with qualified prospects in your own area, presenting them with a complimentary copy of Thomas Adams’s and John Ewing’s hardbound book, The Secrets of Asset Protection. You’ll help the prospects complete a free Risk Analysis Survey, which shows how easily they could lose their hard-earned assets. As the prospects learn how our reasonably priced, customized asset protection and financial privacy packages and tax-reduction strategies can protect them and save them money, signing up becomes almost automatic.

You may also wish to service referrals from a few good attorneys, accountants, and financial professionals. At your training session you will learn many other proven, tested techniques for finding prospects and turning them into clients. And as your client base grows, you can also expect to receive referrals from satisfied clients.

Q.    Is there much selling involved?

A.    Bridgeway Financial Corporation president and founder John Ewing learned long ago that you don’t really need to “sell” asset protection and tax savings. Therefore, as an ASSET PROTECTION CONSULTANT, you’re going to work with your clients to provide successful solutions to their asset protection and financial privacy problems and to help them slash the amounts they are required to pay in taxes.

Q.    How much will I really make as an ASSET PROTECTION CONSULTANT?

A.    The answer is up to you. The potential is virtually unlimited. We are forbidden by law to make any specific income claims. However, earning anywhere from $1,800 to $3,500 per client, you can see that it won’t take too many clients each month to really add up — either part time or full time. It all depends on how hard and how smart a consultant is willing to work, and his or her ability to follow our proven system. And don’t forget the residual income from automatic yearly renewals. After a couple of years, your renewal commission of $400 for each Nevada Corporation can be quite substantial in itself.

Q.    Are there any territories? How large should my local population be to make this
        program effective and profitable for me?

A.   There are no territories. While ASSET PROTECTION CONSULTANTS will probably find most clients in the local area where they live, they are not prevented from seeking clients elsewhere. Even a relatively small community can contain a large enough prospect base to sustain your business profitably. And remember, you are free to find clients anywhere you wish. It is common to have clients in all 50 states.

Q.    Why does BFC require that I pay for the Asset Protection & Marketing Course?

A.     Frankly speaking, this modest commitment is our way of assuring that we work only with highly qualified, motivated, and confident individuals. The $2,495 enables us to personally train and coach each consultant, furnish you with comprehensive manuals, provide your state-of-the-art marketing materials that are the finest in the industry, and give unlimited telephone support and consultation. When you consider the magnitude of this opportunity and the enormous potential income from sales and renewals, it should be obvious that the $2,495 is only a small fraction of the franchise fee you would be required to pay to open a franchise, and far less than the startup costs for a new business.

Q.    Do you offer any terms for the payment of the $2,495 Asset Protection & Marketing Course?

A.     To make it a little easier for you to get started, Bridgeway Financial Corporation will be glad to charge your refundable performance deposit to your credit card. We accept Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover Card.

Actually, you could easily have clients already signed up by the time you receive your first credit card bill. And you might decide ~ to use your override commissions to pay off the balance.

Q.    Can this business really succeed part-time?

A.     Yes, if you dedicate a reasonable amount of time to generating clients on a regular basis. If you are able to devote a few hours a week during normal business hours to making contacts, you can handle the rest of your business, including most meetings with clients, in the evening and on weekends.

Q.    I’m interested. How do I find out more?
