Before You Commit

Before You Commit: A Simple Verification Checklist

This checklist is designed to help you pause and verify key details before committing money or assets.

Registration or licensing independently confirmed
Fees, spreads, or costs clearly disclosed
Custody or asset-handling explained and documented
No pressure to act immediately
Claims verified using third-party or public sources
Exit or liquidation terms reviewed

Missing information doesn't always mean risk — but it does mean further verification may be appropriate.

Questions Investors Often Ask Too Late

These questions are commonly raised after a decision is made — reviewing them early can help improve clarity.

  • •Who actually holds or controls the asset?
  • •What happens if I want to exit earlier than planned?
  • •Are risks explained as clearly as potential benefits?
  • •What assumptions does this offer rely on?
  • •What happens if communication stops or changes?
  • •Would this decision still make sense without urgency?

Taking time to ask these questions can help reduce surprises later.
