Our mission here at the Helium Report includes helping you to determine which destination club is right for you and your family. While we aren’t able to replace your own due diligence, our Decision Guide will provide the tools to ensure that your analysis is targeted and effective.

Consider the critical issue of a club’s financial stability. While we have interviewed club management using our list of more than 150 due diligence questions, most clubs will only divulge their financial outlook to prospective members under a non-disclosure agreement. From our list of Top 20 Due Diligence Questions, here are a few that you’ll have to pose to each club on your short list:

• What percentage of your members resigned last year?
• On average, how long have members had to wait to receive their refund?
• Is this inside or outside of the contractual obligation of the club?

We feel that these are questions that must be answered before you make a commitment to a club. If you can’t get the answers then we think you should consider another club.

Stay tuned for more of our Top 20 Due Diligence Questions. You may also register for our full Decision Guide to Destination Clubs, available in early May.
