Direct Registration S1 – Reverse Merger Failures – Go Public Correctly And Thrive

Monday, December 20th, 2010

The dream of taking one’s company public is all too often unrealized when a shell merger or reverse merger concept is used. I say concept because this describes a general tactic as opposed to a strategy personified by a direct registration or S1 filing.

Shortcuts have no place in a public offering as it lacks the results sought by entrepreneurs and demanded by investors and shareholders. Shells for mergers are typically dogs infested with microscopic flees, the struggle for volume and investor retention is constant and you’ll never have the full legitimacy of an S1 as the previous owners organizational baggage will constantly hinder your development as a public entity as the weight of skeletons in the closet will always outweigh your efforts, thus eliminating the results of IR and other promotional tactics for stock traction in the marketplace.

Going public doesn’t have to be painful, all you need is a game plan and experienced agents working on your behalf. If you’re broke get a loan, don’t attempt a public offering. If your company has a proven concept and solid net revenues then going public may be just the fundraising tool you’ve been looking for.

You’ll need several things in order to go public properly; the least of these is: an S1 attorney, market maker, investor relations strategist/facilitator, solid board of directors, professional and well pedigreed CEO and CFO (or proven controller) and ongoing consultants for mergers and acquisition identification, research and facilitation (don’t think you can grow your public entity organically).

Sure a legitimate public offering via S1 takes a little longer but it’s required for a viable and prosperous public lifespan. The difference between going public via S1 and Shell Merger is as blatant as marrying the prom queen and marrying a corpse sure a shell has skin and bones but wouldn’t it be great to have a pulse? Don’t sell yourself short. Go public the right way!

Take A Company Public – S1 Attorneys – PCAOB Audits – Good Luck, You’re Going To Need it

Tuesday, August 10th, 2010

The undertaking of a public offering on the OTCBB, just as with the NYSE and NASDAQ can be tedious, strenuous, exhausting and an ongoing perpetuation of one failure after another until you just throw in the towel and call it quits; but it doesn’t have to be that way.

Going public can be rewarding, prosperous, empowering and the beginning of massive capitalization and international expansion. There are two things to remember when putting your ‘going public’ plans together. First: don’t be nave by thinking that you can do it yourself, you’ll certainly fail as this process has too many components and is infested with sewer rats that will climb on your back for a free ride just in case you make it. Second: be smart and hire an IPO Strategies Consultant. This type of business consultant is rare and difficult to find as they are in demand globally because of the streamlined manner in which they are able to take a company public.

Strategies consultants that specialize in pre public corporate strategies and structuring, IPO facilitation and post public investor relations planning and mergers and acquisitions. They’ll expedite the public offering while giving your company a powerful foundation conducive to hardcore domestic and global expansion.

The road to becoming a publicly traded company is littered with the carcasses of companies that either tried to complete the process on their own or corporation with the foresight to hire a consultant but battled the consultant on each portion of the process and added so much stress to the deal that the consultant threw in the towel and moved onto the next project.

Word to the wise, this is one industry that you, the inquisitive self taught or over educated doesn’t stand a chance. The intricacies of this industry are of such proportions that unless you are completely submerged in this business for years with 80 hour work weeks you won’t even crack the surface of what it takes to go public and stay public and grow through expansion with a solid trading volume to monetize your company’s securities to create expansion capital.

Find a consultant, step back, keep your cell phone hand and leave this to the professionals while you reap the rewards. You’ve earned it! Through your blood, sweat and tears you’ve built your company. You’ve created jobs, contributed to the economy, paid Uncle Sam his pound of flesh, you deserve to succeed. Use the process of going public to create wealth for your family, long term job stability for loyal and hard working employees and a product or service distribution that spans the globe.

S1 Filing – Advantages Of Taking A Company Public – Global Expansion

Saturday, July 24th, 2010

Going public in the United States means you have three options NASDAQ, NYSE and the OTCBB.

The Pink Sheets aren’t even an option, what were you thinking. There are only a few companies outside of broker dealers that actually have the ability, expertise and contacts to take a company public and have it make, as opposed to break the company. Timing is everything with an IPO and just like with comedy, get that timing wrong and you’ve blown your chances at a crowd pleasing exit.

Unbelievably some companies try to go through this process on their own. The CEO or CFO will convince a nave board of directors that they’ve taken companies public before, the board of directors approves the process and before you know it the company is in the S1 stage and stuck and everything stops. Just now the company blew their chances of creating a powerful market position and they are demonstrating their vulnerabilities to their competitors who sit like gargoyles waiting to pounce on them when they are at their weakest points.

Think about aggressive buyouts, mergers, acquisitions and other involuntary exit strategies by companies taking desperate measures. Of course for the NASDAQ and NYSE you can go to the large Wall Street broker dealers to take your company through the process but what if you’re part of the other 99% of companies wanting to go public who don’t qualify to go public on these two exchanges?

Then, if you expect to eventually qualify you’ll need to go public on the OTCBB (over the counter bulletin board). The one and only firm that can facilitate this process quickly and without a hitch is the one and only Princeton Corporate Solutions with the master James Scott at the helm. This boutique firm in Philadelphia, PA is the be all and end all in IPO facilitation on the OTCBB. You can use other firms but why would you?

With the track record that this firm has why would you even consider using another outlet to take you through the process? Don’t kid yourself! You need consultants that do this day in and day out or you risk losing your company position and even your company. Stick with the experts on your offering, the life of your company could be depending on it.

Take My Company Public – Taking Your Business Public – Enough Goofing Around

Tuesday, July 13th, 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.

Take Your Company Public and Get The Right Publicity

Thursday, December 24th, 2009

Hey you! Yeah you! 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.

Grabbing 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.

An extremely 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 accomplished 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 business 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.

Taking Company Public And Use Securities For Loan

Thursday, December 24th, 2009

Many entrepreneurs and executives want to move forward with the process of going public merely for the ability to raise capital through the sale of stock. They usually don’t think of the strategies necessary to keep the momentum going such as how much equity to give up initially, how much equity to sell ongoing, how to capitalize off of the use of the securities as collateral for loans and lines of credit and so on.

One of the most profound strategies companies can use to retain company equity while capitalizing off of their public entity is to put up portions of their securities as temporary collateral for loans and to use securities to grow through acquisition of strategic alliances.

Stock should be looked at as cash and designated for appropriate purchasing strategies. Stock monetized through collateralized lending can work wonders as long as the exit strategy is in place and secure. Your attorney should be well versed in this activity and audit the contract for convertible aspects which could strip the transaction of its advantageous nature.

Debt that converts to equity means giving up a huge bartering chip for future transactions. Don’t give up equity unless you have to. There are scores of companies that will lend against your securities without having to give up long term equity. Use this strategy wisely and you’ll never have a problem getting capital.

Also, using stock to purchase strategic partners is more relevant now than ever. Purchasing a company with stock that can be monetized over time is an incredible way to grow through acquisition. Going public on the OTCBB is a quick and easy way to start using the countless capabilities for capitalization with a public entity. Going public simply to raise capital with your market maker or broker dealer would be selling yourself short. Take advantage of the countless ways your securities can work for you.

Is Your Company Going Public? Grow Quicker With Good Publicity

Monday, December 21st, 2009

As a publicist, I can’t help but laugh when I turn on the television to see an author on a talk show telling the audience about their book or flip on the radio in my car and hear the morning DJ interviewing a self proclaimed expert of some new weight loss program where you can lose 500 pounds in 48 hours.

I’m not laughing because of the content but because I know how much they had to pay a publicist to get that interview. I know that all the questions are predetermined and that the publicist who convinced this individual that TV and radio were the only way to get in front of the public is living in the’70’s and can’t seem to adjust to the new concepts of massive publicity for pennies and the young, hip publicists that have transformed the process of ga

I don’t mean to offend any publicists out there but I’m going to tell the public a little secret.

There is a process that will put your brand in front of your target market in hours, not weeks. There is no waiting on approval from a television network or radio channel.

That secret process is a combination on online video distribution, press releases, article marketing, social book marketing, blogs and a few other online media distribution combination that will take your brand campaign from 0 mph to 100mph overnight. When you are interviewing publicists or brand recognition marketing specialist keep this in mind, any publicist can get you on TV or the radio with a couple calls since both of these media genres are constantly in need of content and truth be told, the results you’ll get are very minimal from these to publicity mediums.

Don’t spend a dime until they’ve convinced you that their online strategies are on the cutting edge and cost effective. Online marketing strategies can literally have the internet screaming your name in hours.

Private Placement Memorandum (PPM): An Art of War Approach To Corporate Finance

Friday, December 18th, 2009

The psychological profile of business proprietors and entrepreneurs in general boasts the critical ‘Risk Taker’ element which allows one to take the leap from the financial security of a 9 – 5 job to the dicey waters of action based, success based income generation meaning: No Sales = No Money and No Food.

Many of these risk takers function within the realm of right brain communicative as opposed to left brain analytical which passes over the critical detail oriented solutions that are mandatory for raising capital. It is crucial for someone of this profile to hire a professional to come in and cross the t’s and dot the i’s in preparation for corporate fundraising efforts. After this is facilitated the entrepreneur needs to prepare mentally and emotionally for the turbulent road ahead.

Raising capital is no easy task and after the company is properly structured and you have an investor finder service, market maker or broker dealer in place to sell or promote your funding cause, you must step back, take a deep breath and prepare yourself mentally and emotionally. This preparation should start with the concept of ‘objectivity’ when you talk to investors, some will love your business model while others see an investment in your company as a waste of time. You must take these critiques, good and bad with a grain of salt. Don’t get caught up in the habit of emotionally reacting to these ideas from outside sources, don’t allow your mind to attach itself to an investor’s idea of your company or it will drive you insane and you’ll find that these emotional ups and downs will find their way home as your family will quickly be affected by your emotional fluctuation.

The second thing you must do is read and absorb the knowledge in such books as “The 48 Laws of Power” and “The 33 Strategies of War” by Robert Greene and of course “The Art of War” by Sun Tzu. These books deal with strategy that can easily be translated into the business world and can help you prepare mentally for the art of fund-raising. Read these books cover to cover and then read them again. Absorb the intricacies and strategies that these books offer and make it a point to use these concepts in your daily professional life; believe me, you’ll be glad you did.

The next thing you want to do is to study great strategists like Napoleon and Machiavelli. One thing that you will realize almost instantly is that these investors are out for their own gain, period (Why wouldn’t they?). They will try to attract your attention with the right hand while their left hand is reaching in your financial records looking for chinks in your corporate armor to make their case for more equity for less investment. You need to be able to analyze, not just the words of the investor but also all the other elements of their expression such as: intonation, facial gestures, eye movement, standing and sitting positions and other ‘tells’ that can give you an insight to what they are truly trying to communicate so you can anticipate their next move. These are just a few things to consider before entering the world of venture capital. Raising money for a business is a daunting task only to the unprepared.

Take Your Company Public: How To Go Public Cheap!

Friday, December 18th, 2009

Raising money has become quite a chore in this depressing economic state so entrepreneurs are thinking outside the box when it comes to obtaining funds for their start-up corporations or businesses in expansion. Institutional lenders are a thing of the past, liberal hedge fund lenders are a mere cast skin of what they once were and with the massive infiltration of scams like shelf corporations and public shells leave the minds of individuals trying to raise funds in perpetual skeptic mode. Though the banks have brought small and medium size business lending to a screeching halt, there are still various turnkey methods that one can facilitate in order to raise the optimal amount of funds needed to pursue their venture.

Have you considered taking your company public? Don’t be scared off by the nightmare stories of needing millions in financial backing or the critical and ultra costly SOX 404 audits that can make or break your efforts. There are several ways to raise public capital in a cost effective and rapid turnaround process. If you are considering a public offering in the United States, your options are OTCBB, Pink Sheets, Reverse Merger (not recommended), IPO and Private Placement Memorandum. Obviously the IPO is the most sought after method of raising public funds but it is the most expensive and longest route to funding. OTCBB and Pink Sheets are a great way to raise capital without the expense of an IPO but be prepared to battle investor skepticism and ‘pump ‘em and dump ‘em’ securities scrappers who can have you on cloud nine and swimming in a surplus of cash one day and broke as a joke the next.

The next method that one will run into on their trek to raise capital is the mysterious reverse merger into a public shell. You’ll hear many entrepreneurs talk about this method but few actually understand the intricacies of this process and sadly don’t realize it’s high failure rate until they are sitting alone at their office at 2 am holding their head in their hands when faced with the reality that 99.9% of reverse mergers into shell companies don’t work and they just threw away $200k.

The safest, cheapest and quickest way to raise capital from the public is by way of Regulation D exemption rules 504, 505 and 506. This process is also referred to as a Private Placement Memorandum, Private Placement Memo, Offering Memorandum or PPM. After simply having a professional business plan authored and geared toward raising capital with a PPM, the next step is to see a professional about the Regulation D facilitation. You can pay $20k to an attorney or you can spend around $5k to use a consultant, most companies choose the later. After you’ve had the PPM docs customized, you’re ready to go! Most Private Placement Memorandums only take 2 weeks to put together and file (form d) with the SEC office and then you’re off and running!

PPM’s are becoming more and more popular as informed entrepreneurs are seeking capital but want to hold on to a majority share of their company. If you are trying to raise capital for your small or medium size business or wish to increase your company value exponentially in an expedient manner, start looking into having a Private Placement Memorandum authored for your company. It is absolutely the fastest and easiest way to raise capital for your business without all the expense and red tape of other public fund raising processes.
