I’ve seen a lot of topics here discussing Holborn and a lot of back and forth and hesitation - yet none of them ever have a conclusion or details.
Does anybody have a successful experience with Holborn that they’d be willing to share? Maybe a simple “I used them for this and it worked out” would suffice. It would be much appreciated.
New to the forum and looking to apply for the GV within the next 2-3 weeks. I have talked to/interviewed 6 law firms and 5 fund managers and I have asked each of them their perspective on whether involving a 3rd party such as Holborn adds any value in terms of application and follow-thru efficiency etc. Basically was told by most (though a few declined to provide their perspective) that these 3rd parties are not really that valuable unless you need guidance on some sort of really esoteric/complicated investment vehicle. The most important thing is hiring a good lawyer you have confidence in. BTW, was also told that the Holborn etc. types receive up to 10% of the value of you investment as commission/fees from the funds etc. they direct you towards, so…interesting fact. Just my $.02 (and I am not an expert on any of this, just trying to get up the learning curve myself)
