There are no guarantees, investing is inherently risky.
Milk Money does its best to present what we believe are viable businesses with good opportunities – BUT there are no guarantees that a company is a good investment. You need to do your own evaluation of the company’s business plan and financials on their campaign page, meet the entrepreneur if you have a chance, consult a financial advisor/tax advisor/attorney for their expert guidance, and trust your gut. If something bothers you about the deal, don’t invest. On the other hand, if it just “feels right” this can be a valuable guide – as long as you’ve done the diligence work to back it up.
Please see our Basic Guide to Due Diligence for more help with this.
