What the advice costs
The programme costs the same. The advice does not.
Through a commission
$35,000–$40,000
Sales commission on Grenada. The one figure here a regulator publishes: up to US$35,000 of the US$235,000 fund contribution, and up to US$40,000 on real estate. Built into the headline, so it is paid whoever you use — the saving on this programme is smaller and stated as such.
Through a fee
$10,000
Paid once, and it runs to the permit being issued — route selection, the financing, the portfolio, and the agent appointed and managed for you. Paid by you, so the answer can be no.
What you avoid here
Less than most
Grenada builds its agent allocation into the published contribution, so it is paid whoever you use. The saving on this programme is the smallest on the list, and it would be easy not to tell you that.
This is the commission only. The licensed agent, the legal work and the government fees in the list above are payable whoever advises you, and nothing here removes them — a saving that quietly included a statutory fee would be the same trick in the other direction.
Commission ranges are typical rather than universal, and no firm is named. They are not published anywhere, which is the point of them.
