Take Your Company Public – Advantages To Going Public – The Games Stop Now

Thursday, July 8th, 2010

When it’s the right time to go public and you’ve looked at the pros and cons from all angles, it’s time to move forward and structure the company so that you can have a corporation worthy of investment dollars. First look at your company structure.

Do you have a well pedigreed and economically seasoned CEO, CFO and COO? Is your board of directors composed of the best of the best that your industry has to offer? Do you have a secondary board of advisors to pick up the slack where needed? Do you have strategic alliances in place to make expansion easier via distribution access, cross promotion and other necessary processes that you’ll need in a post public setting?

What mechanism will you use to distribute shares for your pre public raise? Is your business plan a powerful, ultra effective strategy or is it a boilerplate template that every funding source has seen a dozen times before?

Next, have you brought on a consultant to analyze your company and check for leaks, perform a valuation and start the process of going public? Don’t be shortsighted by trying to do this on your own or listening to the wrong people. Unless you have a professional onboard to navigate you through the process of preparing and completing the going public process you’ll be doomed from the start.

Don’t look at getting a trading symbol from FINRA as the finish line as this is just the beginning of the battle. You need a presents now more than ever. Your consultant will help you identify PR and expansion worthy mergers and acquisitions while simultaneously strategizing with investor relations agencies for the most impact at the best price.

Going public and achieving a symbol is the beginning of a whole new set of opportunities to grow your company in ways that you could never have imagined but it’s also a massive responsibility that can sink your company faster than quicksand. Be prepared for the process. Hire a consultant and place the best people in positions around you and you’ll be able to move forward with the wind at your back.

The Art Of Executive Interrogation: How To Hire The Best Executive Each Time

Thursday, July 8th, 2010

If you are taking your company public, expanding your corporation, doing in house cleanup to get rid of dead weight or just filling a C level or VP level position at your company your hiring method should be clear, concise and strategic. You need to take into consideration every intricacy that the individual being interviewed has to be exposed. You need to pay attention to what is said, not said, gestures, verbal intonations and the overall presence of the individual. Here are a few things to take into consideration when hiring an executive. These are elements outside of the resume.

First look at the obvious. Evaluate the overall attire of the individual pay attention to his suit, dress shirt, tie and dress shoes and even the shoe laces. Are his suit, shirt and tie crisp, conservative and pressed? Are his shoes shined, scuff free and are his shoe laces in good condition? When he crosses his legs and his socks are exposed what is the condition of his socks? These things may seem artificial, pretentious and pointless but keep in mind, you are hiring the appearance of the individual as well and most times the clothing condition and selection tell us a lot about the subconscious activity and mindset of the individual. Do they pay close attention to detail? Do they have a clean presence? These things are ‘tells’ every time the executive stands before a client or panel.

Next the interview, obviously you’ve gone over their resume and checked references before you even bring them in for a serious interview so let’s go past the general inquires that go along with an executive interview. You need to evaluate their intellectual and emotional fitness by getting right to the point. How much do they know about your company? Finding out how much they’ve researched the company will demonstrate their level of motivation in becoming part of the team with a focus on contribution. The strongest candidate will come into an interview ready to define their role and express the realities of what they bring to the table in the form of contacts and intellectual capital.

Ask them, in their own words, from their own research, where they see the company in 5 years with them in a leadership position. Ask them to give an example of 5 to 10 strategic alliances they have planned for the company and what that will contribute to the bottom line of the company. What expansion experience do they have? Ask them what makes a company in your position better or worse for being public or private and have them elaborate. Ask them to critique the top executives of the company and how they would reorganize the company if they had their way. Get past the artificial nature of educational pedigree and ask them about their professional pedigree and how it has prepared them to join your corporate team.

Now during this process pay close attention to their physical gestures and take notes. As you’re asking them questions look for their subconscious movements that they are using to communicate. Look for gestures that demonstrate confidence, arrogance, insecurity. Are they sitting back in their chair when they are talking (if so they are too comfortable, a qualified executive will be sitting up straight without letting his back rest on the chair, you on the other hand should be relaxed and sitting back). Are their legs crossed? Are they using their hands? Is their forehead crinkled or calm? Are they making use of a strong vocabulary that can strengthen their presentation etc?

Hiring the proper executive for a specific role in the company can be challenging but using the process above to help weed through the poor candidates will help you in securing the perfect candidate.

Taking Company Public – Expansion Consultants – Political Scum Bags And Finance Vampires – A Must Read

Tuesday, June 29th, 2010

The Catastrophic Annihilation of intellect by ‘no child left behind’ and political correctness make our children sitting ducks to the debilitating and mind numbing triggers of our self proclaimed ‘betters’. Sly as foxes and cunning as the crow your local politicians work hand in hand with the gods and monsters in the imperial system of numbers on a screen (fractional reserve lending). When you take a loan from an institutional lender and sign on the line or when you vote for that regional senator or politician and don’t stay on top of their agenda you are pinning the hands of our children behind their backs and marching them, one after the other, off the cliff to their doom.

I loathe anti-establishment hippies who have a mortgage and credit card with top tier banks, these fraudulent ‘tree huggers for hire’ are a major reason we are in this mess. Outwardly they act as if they despise the establishment yet behind closed doors they enable a system that desecrates on the souls of our youth.

To be able to change the system, one must first become part of the system. The problem with blending into the system with intent to change things is that most aren’t strong enough to turn a blind eye to the corruption that absolute power brings.

It’s common knowledge that politicians philander and survive on the take of corruption. They kiss babies, take their picture with supporters but behind closed doors their vampire traits come to the surface as these behind closed doors agendas strip the rights of the people of this country but you just stand there and do nothing. Sign on the dotted line, get that loan for your business and hang our children up to dry, it’s all so easy. Here is an idea, take the power from the politicians and crooked institutional bloodsuckers and take the fate of your company in your own hands. If you have a real viable business offer it up to the people.

I am forever ringing this bell and standing on the soapbox screaming this concept to whoever will listen, “You, reader, do not need a bank to fund your company”. What is it about this concept that you don’t understand. I’m not telling you to lobby venture capital firms that would demand a pound of flesh for every dollar they put into your company. There is a much easier way. You have, at your disposal two concepts that can transform your world in an instant while building massive wealth for your children: Private Placement Memorandums and Over The Counter Bulletin Boards.

A PPM allows you to stay within SEC guidelines while selling an equity interest in your company to investors for cash and services. You would be shocked at how effective this process can be for raising capital. But take it one step forward. You’ve raised money to expand your business now stabilize your corporation by going public on the OTCBB. Hire a consultant who can structure your company properly in a way that is conducive to attracting serious investors pre public.

Pay close attention to your board of directors, advisory board, C level executive pedigree and last but not least have an investor relations strategy in place that could choke a horse! Publicity, press releases, stock alerts, radio expert panel interviews and more. Plaster the bulletin board market with your message but be sure to stay within promotion compliance. Do this and you will tear the keys that hold your future from the rusty poisonous talons of bankers and do nothing politicians and you’ll place the keys of prosperity and financial freedom to those who deserve it; you, your family and your employees and of course the investors that helped you get there.

Tell your local politician and banker to take a hike, seek Christ and repent and whenever you vote for a political scumbag in the future, hold them to every word and call them on every lie and make it as public as possible! I will now step off my soapbox.

Taking A Company Public – God, Monsters And The Institutional Banker

Wednesday, May 26th, 2010

Minimal input, maximum output is the motto of most politicians that are driven by backdoor profiteering from this economic collapse. If you think that your local politician’s main interest is his/her constituents and the issues facing your town such as job loss, debt and foreclosure, you need to wake up, turn off the TV and start looking at your senator and congressman’s voting record and better yet, corporate election sponsorships. Financial greed and the cult of power is what motivate these people. Your vote is merely a vehicle to their ability to obtain both simultaneously.

There are two spheres that fuel the political machine: big oil and lobbyist financial facilitation, your vote is secondary and can typically be bought. Bought? Of course, don’t be so naive as to think that you vote with your gut and unique conviction. What news channels do you watch? After the televised staging of a debate what commentators do you turn to for the breakdown of what the candidates were ‘really saying’?

You, whether you want to admit it or not, are a product of the political persuasion of the news you watch or talk radio you listen to. We have unqualified talking heads in office that spew regurgitations proctologically embedded in them by the special interest groups that sponsor their election. Banking institutions are one of the industries that perpetuate and stimulate the actions of these politicians. Global banks who sponsor the cycle of ‘control by debt’ are the first to jump on the bandwagon and contribute capital to a system that perpetuates this process. When small and medium size businesses need capital the first people they turn to are institutional bankers. Herein lies the problem. When a bank funds your project they hand over a minuscule fraction of actual capital and the pie in the sky fractional reserve numbers take care of the rest. Typically an FDIC backed bank who lends $100k only needs to have $10k in reserve, the rest is added by the Fed in the form of digital read outs on a screen and the illusion of empirical collateral. Being that there is no gold standard and nothing but consumer confidence that backs up our dollar the privately held Federal Reserve can print money at a whim and better yet, add a few zeros to the calculations on a computer monitor and you can make or break a bank which in turn can make or break a regional or national economy.

Entrepreneurs should first consider taking their project to the public via Regulation D (504, 505 or 506) or Private Placement Memorandum and then seek out qualified consultants who can help facilitate a public offering where the company deals directly with the public and 10k’s and 10q’s in combination with the company’s profitability and expansion will dictates it’s success. Companies function best when governed less. Sure white collar crimes have been in the news and the executives go to jail, and rightfully so but consider the reality that politicians and top tier banks have been publicly crucifying business owners for years. Which is worse?

As an investor you should evaluate your investments and get diversification advice from qualified financial advisers as entrepreneurs your first call should be to a consultant that can write a PPM and a solid business plan and take it to investors. Banks should be the absolute last resort for a small and medium size business. The days of entrepreneurs voluntarily placing their heads on the chopping block in the name of institutional control and political capitalization should come to an end
