Advantages Of Taking Company Public – Take My Company Public

Thursday, July 8th, 2010

When the principles of a company make the decision to go public there are many things to take into consideration. First and foremost, trying to wade through the pariah infested waters of the OTCBB, Investor Relations and strategic growth strategies on your own is a guaranteed suicide mission and you’ll fail. Find a consultant who understands your business and has the contacts to create a turnkey solution to take you from public to private and all the other necessities you’re company is going to need to make it.

As part of your consultant pre qualifications here are the niches you’re the consultant absolutely must be well versed in order for your company to succeed with the public offering and a solid trading volume post public. Better yet, here is what you’re going to need so you can measure your questions against this list when qualifying the consultants to see who is the best fit.

First you’re company will need structuring. What I mean by structuring is that you’ll need to put a sturdy skeletal structure together to carry around your corporate bag of bones, an iron clad skeletal structure would consist of: board of directors with esteemed educational and professional pedigrees and proven track records for assisting companies in your particular genre with getting to the next level from the level your company is currently at pre public. You also need powerful strategic alliances that will increase your name recognition and overall market awareness by affiliations with inter-industry powerhouses. Use strategic partners for promotion, expansion, resellers, referrals, service and product brokering, name recognition, and more.

Talk to your accountant about your corporate structure. Delaware C corporations are a sturdy home state for public companies as the states statutes go back to the original 13 colonies and offer optimal protection and case law to support a growing public company. Some oversees companies prefer Nevada for their quick fix to the foreign owned company problem but ask your accountant and attorney to give you the pros and cons. Statutory domicile will be the advantage to the home of your corporation but if you are operating in another state you’ll still need to file locally while the state of incorporation can offer legislative support from previous case law history. Don’t believe that you won’t have to pay taxes if you incorporate in Nevada, this simply isn’t the case. Read up on this and then get the real deal from your attorney.

Every public company needs solid CEO, CFO, COO, Board of directors, Board of Advisors, Strategic Partnerships to start off. Now, when you have the above you need to start working on monetize-able purchase orders and offering net terms to your clients, in other words start building your book of business aggressively by offering credit terms. This will make you a stronger company and when investors see your mountain of purchase orders they’ll be impressed and will be more apt to invest. General signed contracts will typically have too many contingencies to have an impact as contracts are not very enforceable whereas purchase orders are like currency and can be monetized if your company finds itself in a crunch. This shows investors that you’re prepared for the ups and downs ahead.

Now after you’ve gone through the s1 comments with the SEC and the 15c211 has been filed by a market maker with FINRA, let’s assume you have your trading symbol and you’re ready to start selling shares. You are going to need a powerful, expensive, rock solid investor relations and market build strategy. Don’t use a pump and dump house as if you do so you will never recuperate. Instead your IR strategy should include: phone room support for announcing your company to industry insiders to create awareness (not selling stock), solid, opt-in email alerts to seasoned, accredited investors looking for stock in your industry, press releases should go out to announce everything from a new executive hire to an new contract to a new strategic partner and anything else that will give you a reason to notify the public on your company’s growth. Expert panel reviews for your C level executives to talk about the industry as an expert insider promote the company to the masses where they will get to see first hand the massive knowledge you possess about your industry which may prompt listeners to investigate your stock for a potential purchase. Don’t forget about viral publicity through high pr video, social bookmarks, blog entry, articles and the prototypical twitter, facebook, myspace and Linkedin properties.

Going public should be part of an overall strategy for expansion as opposed to having a go to just ‘go public’ to raise money.

Globalization Consultants – Mergers And Acquisitions – Organic Growth Is Not Enough

Thursday, July 8th, 2010

In a perfect world public and large private companies could experience rapid growth by simply treating their client base right and taking and gradually making more transactions to increase revenues to subsidize the additional costs of more locations, employees etc. This is fine if you’re only trying to build a company worth a few million and then fold up when you’re ready to retire.

But if you are looking to build a legacy company that you can hand down to generations, create jobs, expand globally and constantly have a steady stream of purchase and merger offers as a safety net, you need to grow through acquisition and the best way to raise the capital for this process is to go public.

Going public is a technical process where the post public promotion referred to as IR or Investor Relations is the key to stabilizing and growing your share price. Limit the volume of shares for public consumption, pump out maximum publicity, make brokers and investors comb the planet to find available shares and force the price to grow by leaps and bounds by creating demand.

When you need funding use PIPES and pay off the loan so the PIPE firm doesn’t liquidate the shares onto the market, get those shares back. I had a client email me a letter he got from a Do It Yourself investor relations firm. They claim to be able to train CEOs of public companies to take care of the IR campaigns for companies on the London, OTCBB and Pink Sheets. The claim that they can teach you to never need the services of an IR firm again and my response to this client was….Um…Are you an idiot? I guess I was a little upset since I own five percent of the company that he was proposing this DIY solution for IR.

Here is the deal. You need to three basic things to have a solid investor relations campaign. First you need a Pump solution. Don’t confuse pump with pump and dump. Remember, you always want to limit the shares put out to the public but you need to pump public demand and hunger for your shares to keep the price where it’s high enough to use as collateral for loans to subsidize growth without having to release more shares onto the market.

Next you need volume. Keep the shares that are in the market place moving. Hold corporate shares to your chest and keep the shares in the public moving, without volume you won’t be able to do anything with your stock. Don’t mistake the concept of creating volume with releasing shares into the public to create cash. Last but not least you need to be in the public eye. You need to have a publicist that will get you on industry expert panels on radio, tv, blogs, podcasts and every publicity medium in between. Get your CEOs face, company name and trading symbol on the bottom corner of everything including but not limited to the bicep and forearm of every sales executive in the company. Ok maybe that’s a bit much but my point is an organization that stands together behind their CEO is an organization that will survive and thrive.

These were just a few of the points that one needs to consider when going public, trying to stay public and promoting a public company. In this industry the old conviction of . . . Believe none of what you hear and half of what you see is the golden rule.

Take Your Company Public: Your Technology Company Can Raise Capital Fast!

Monday, December 21st, 2009

Are you trying to raise capital for your start-up or corporation in expansion? Have you exhausted your traditional institutional sources and hedge fund contacts? Don’t lose hope just yet! First of all, take all those pamphlets and brochures from banks and other traditional lenders that are lying all over your desk and toss them in the trash…they are absolutely useless.

Banks don’t have your company’s best interest in mind as they are hardly even staying afloat in this economy. Today’s institutional financier isn’t qualified to run a bath let alone a bank. Don’t put your future in the untested hands of a 20 something knucklehead. After you’ve tossed all that useless info in the trash, clear your head and then look at your company and ask yourself a few tough questions: Is your company invest-able? Do you and your executive staff have a pedigree that investors deem as seasoned enough to take their money and make affective use of it and not lose it? What proprietary concepts/technology/patents do you have that give you a larger market share with the proper cash infusion? What is your current capital/debt situation?

If, after pondering these questions you’ve come to the conclusion you honestly, truly have something worth pursuing then the next step is to look at the reality that your company is worthy of a public offering. Stay away from Pink Sheets and be weary of reverse mergers and in reality your company won’t qualify for the NASDAQ so the quickest way to raise public capital is the OTCBB (over the counter bulletin boards).

OTCBB is an SEC regulated platform that has a solid investor following and market makers that can effectively promote your stock to rapidly raise capital. Don’t let these difficult economic times steal your dreams of corporate prosperity and personal growth.

If you have a solid business concept, there is a way to fund it. Look into the OTCBB, it’s your best bet for an inexpensive public offering with a direct path to long term funding.

Take Your Company Public? Get The Right Publicity

Sunday, December 6th, 2009

Are you sick of publicity and marketing agencies that just can’t get it right? Do you want to fine tune your publicity marketing plan. Publicity without tapping into the emotions of the individual is just a blur of words and sounds in a language that no one can understand. Publicity that plays the strings of human emotion suddenly becomes the sirens song that brings the masses to your doorstep. Publicity with an aim of tugging at the heart, getting to the root of human desire and the call to action as the solution to all their emotional, spiritual and greedy needs transforms a simple branding message into a ‘come to Jesus’ message at the end of a televangelists tent meeting where the mind and heart have been softened and the masses come clamoring to the front to be saved.

Tapping into the emotions of the public must be done in a stealthy manner. The publicist or marketing professional must place the media in such a way where the future client is constantly bouncing into the brand message each day.

The most powerful way to do this is by understanding the subconscious mind of the client so that their online web search habits can be predicted and patterned so that in every direction they are being politely bombarded with your brand message as the be all and end all solution for whatever ails them.

This can be achieved by tapping into the various genres of online media such as video, blog, social book marking and press release and article directories just to name a few. Material existence is a blurred vision on a gray wall, the infusion of mind and emotion is what brings color and definition to our reality.

It’s the same thing with internet publicity marketing; words are meaningless without the element of emotion which add color, feeling and definition to the message being passed along to the public.

Publicity Marketing, at it’s finest! Call Princeton Corporate Solutions at 267-233-0183 for Business Publicity Power.

Bad Credit, No Credit No Problem! Raise Millions With No Credit Checks

Tuesday, November 24th, 2009

Real estate investors are constantly on the lookout for innovative ways to raise the capital needed to get the job done. Lack of funds to the real estate investor or rehabber is like an asthmatic without an inhaler, it’s a near impossible existence.

Access to cash is king for the investor and sadly this need is often like the scent of blood to the wolves as hard money lenders and greedy cash rich investors will lend to the real estate investor for such a high interest rate, the real estate investor’s profits evaporate before they can materialize. It’s a depressing reality to be faced with when months of hard work in bird dogging and going through the ups and downs of purchasing a property with decent profit margins results in actually owing money at the end of the transaction.

With all this said, there is good news. Imagine the ability to raise massive amounts of capital without dealing with the red tape of banks or the greed of hard money lenders. This solution is so powerful that it can transform your real estate investing business overnight. This process allows you to raise unlimited amounts of capital fast and easy.

This process is a Real Estate Private Placement Memorandum which is a PPM engineered to cater to the needs of a real estate investment firm while simultaneously helping the investor raise capital within the guidelines set forth by the SEC. There are few other structures available that can help one raise capital in such a rapid and streamline manner.

If you are involved in any level of real estate rehabbing or investing look into getting set up with a real estate private placement memorandum to put your business on steroids. It is easy to raise capital for these structures and will help you grow your business as large as you want it, quickly!

Take Your Company Public and Pass Due Diligence With a Good Publicist

Tuesday, November 24th, 2009

Hear this, if you’re paying your publicist to pitch radio, print media and television executives to give you a minute and insignificant slot in their barrage of media hodgepodge so you can go in, swallow your pride, look like an idiot to the masses then walk away with your tail tucked between your legs it’s time to wake up and experience the cutting edge hybrid publicity marketer and all the power that goes with it.

The truth is that the industries of the publicist and the advertising firm have merged into one, crystal clear beacon of light that has transformed the promotional industry forever. Publicity marketers are a very small and difficult to find group of online promotion guerillas that blast the internet with everything that the search engine craves and more so that your company comes up over and over again on the natural search results for industry specific keyword phrases that demand attention.

There are no black-hat methods being used. Publicity marketers grew up as personal computers became popular and were in college in the’90’s during the now fizzled internet boom. These were the ‘boys’ that kept companies moving after the tech crumble and soon, their techniques became valuable to VC firms with IPOs to publicize, viral media to cater to the promotional needs of video game and film companies with a new hit and corporations that needed rapid reputation repair or solutions to a hostile competitor that was taking more than it’s share of a niche market.

The publicity marketer magician has the creative capacity to touch on the emotional programming of the consumer while simultaneously and gently cornering them in a way to trigger that internal purchasing mechanism that exists in the subconscious mind of every man, women and child. Real publicity marketers can take any company, concept or brand and make it an online sensation in a very short time.

The publicity marketer is the new generation, web 2.0 promotional guru. If you’re still paying separate companies for your publicity and advertising needs, it’s time to track down a publicity marketer for one, ultra-powerful, turnkey solution that will start generating results immediately.

How Do I Take My Company Public?” (Without Getting Scammed)

Sunday, November 8th, 2009

So, your company is ready for that next step and you’ve decided to take the dive into the world of public offerings and global fund raising. You imagine investors waiting with bated breath for your company to announce it’s share price and release shares for purchase. You’re imagining swarms of broker dealers clambering and falling all over themselves to promote your stock to their massive investor database while you sit back and fill your company’s coffers with millions in capital that will launch your corporation into the realm of superstardom and hemorrhaging expansion. You start to search the internet and come across ad after ad that promotes the idea that you could save $100,000’s if you buy a public shell and reverse merge your company with it, saving you time and money, resulting in achieving a public structure in only a few weeks. Buyer beware!

Reverse mergers into public shell companies is a process that rarely works and if, by some act of God, it is successful you still have countless issues to deal with that could crush your ability to succeed in an instant. Companies that sell shell companies and facilitate public offerings via reverse merger often have many fleas attached to the structure such as the fact that they retain 10% to 25%+ of the company’s shares that they can pump and dump anytime, resulting in a black eye to investors who see your stock plummet, resulting in almost certain bankruptcy and company failure.

Another prominent issue with this type of transaction is that usually the shell company has a complicated history of litigation and liens that you absorb when you merge and if this is the case you’ll spend all your time in ongoing legal battles as your company bankroll is spent on righting the wrongs of the previous owners. We could go on for days about the downside of reverse mergers into public shells but the moral of this story is, ‘do your homework’.

If you are trying to take your startup or small business public, take the extra steps (you’ll actually save money) and look into OTCBB, a legitimate, quick and long lasting way to take your company public without the drawbacks and definite complications of reverse mergers. You can take your company public via OTCBB for less than $100k and there are usually several ways to finance this process so you have minimal out of pocket expense.

Going public is easy when you team up with the right consultants that will help you bypass the dead ends and concepts that will take up your time and cripple your resources.

Take Your Company Public With Minimal Cost

Saturday, November 7th, 2009

Take Your Company Public: Beware of Scams! Many entrepreneurs dream of taking their company public and expanding their venture into an international enterprise that begins to hemorrhage investment capital and profits from the get-go but then reality sets in as one begins to navigate the dingy, shark infested waters of the ‘go public’ market place.

There are consultants and boiler room penny stock misfits just waiting for you to stumble onto their site and in only a few minutes on the phone you’re reeled in and signing contracts and making wire transfers and equity disbursements and at the end of the grueling 3 to 6 month process, you’re broke, your company is in shambles and you just stand their staring off into space feeling like the boogeyman just slapped you around. Welcome to an industry where the weak are preyed upon like wolves on an injured lamb tangled in a fence.

If you are serious about going public there are some structures to stay away from because 99.9% of the time they fail. Pink Sheets and Reverse Mergers into a public shell are two formations to be very weary of. Pink Sheets are almost a completely unregulated trading platform and known by any savvy investor as the ‘red light district’ of the public trading industry. Pump ‘em and dump ‘em is the name of the game with Pink Sheets. Stock Price manipulation is as common with pink sheets as gross stench is to 5 day old road kill on a desert highway. If you are going to get involved with Pink Sheets find an attorney or consultant that can guide you around the scammers, it’s difficult to make in on the Pinks but I have heard of a few companies making it.

The next cesspool in the trading industry is ultra popular (for newbie’s) and the number one ‘big mistake’ made by countless ‘go public’ rookies, the reverse merger into a public shellouch! It even hurts to say it. I get calls on a daily basis from business owners who thought they were getting droppings of manna from heaven when a consultant suggested that they save $100,000’s and months of work by simply buying a public shell and merging their entity with it and abracadabra you’re big time and public and making millions. Sadly the reality is that this poor sap just spent $200k on an entity with liens and 15% equity distributed to a group of investors who pumped up the stock and dumped it before the ink on the contracts was dry. Now his dreams are shattered, he’s broke; his company will get stripped down and sold off in pieces like an unlocked car in the ghetto.

It’s sad when I see the same scams perpetrated on the uninformed over and over again. If you are trying to raise capital, find a consultant, objective broker dealer or attorney who will listen to your needs and before doing anything will give you the good and bad news about the various options. Taking your company public can be one of the most rewarding experiences of your career. You can purchase other companies with stock. You can use stock as collateral for quick loans to support growth. You can reward employees with shares in the company for meeting certain objectives. Go public, fulfill your dreams just use caution as you proceed.
