Mini Bonds?

I'm American.

My startup is in the physical commodity trading space.

We originate goods in third world countries.

Our "edge" = the contacts/contracts we have in origin countries.

I need to raise VC firms.

Recently, an EU based friend of mine put me in contact with a BDM of a small financial advisory firm. The BDM pitched me on issuing an unregulated bond. I'm interested, but unregulated bonds (to my limited knowledge) aren't a thing here in America, so I don't know much about what this will entail.

I know it will be a junk bond, with a high coupon. I also know the financial advisory firm will take a significant percentage.

Any WSOers with mini bond experience?
