What should a business owner evaluate before hiring Raincatcher?
An owner evaluating Raincatcher can clarify which service track applies, because the firm publishes different revenue, EBITDA, earnings, and valuation criteria across its materials. The owner can also confirm which legal entity would contract, when Britehorn Securities would be involved, which representatives are supervised for securities-related activities, and how buyer qualification and outreach would be handled. Because the cited homepage and business brokerage services page do not identify named closed transactions or deal-level terms, an owner may request comparable closed transactions with dates, sector, size, structure, and buyer type, subject to confidentiality restrictions. Fee economics, expenses, tail provisions, and termination terms should also be confirmed directly.[1][2][3][4][6]

Raincatcher states that securities are offered through Britehorn Securities and that the two entities are not affiliated.[4]
Which advisors are registered representatives, and which activities require Britehorn supervision
