DO YOU WANT TO BE A PUBLICLY HELD COMPANY ?

Some of my funding sources help companies become publicly held, then help build their stock value. Worldwide, there are many stock exchanges, and those in the industry are aware that the Frankfurt exchange is the fastest, most efficient, least burdensome, and least expensive exchange worldwide.

It takes considerably less time to become part of the Frankfurt stock exchange than it does to become publicly listed on other stock exchanges. All stock exchanges have rules to be followed to become publicly listed, but the Frankfurt stock exchange is known for costing less and having fewer “hoops to jump through” to become publicly listed.

It is one of the largest and most liquid with investors directly connected to the Frankfurt Stock Exchange representing 35% of the world's investment capital. It has a global presence with over 9000 listings and over 60% of these being international based companies.

This program is ideal for private companies that have noteworthy management or proprietary assets, and seek to raise growth capital without selling a controlling interest. This is a great opportunity for privately held companies to improve their overall value, and worldwide economic presence, especially if you are interested in increasing your market share, or interested in being a part of mergers & acquisitions. The transaction can close very quickly once all parties agree to terms. If you are organized, and ready to proceed quickly, this process can occur within a month or less.

My funding sources are seeking applicants who meet the following criteria…

• Privately held company

• Currently has a minimum $5 million USD of well established E.B.I.T.D.A. (this varies with my funding sources, contact me for details)

• The desire to become publicly listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange

E.B.I.T.D.A. is an acronym meaning earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation & amortization, and is an important number from your income statement that investors look at as one of many criteria when evaluating your company as a potential investment.

SPECIAL PRIVATE PLACEMENT FOR PRIVATE COMPANIES

Special Private Placement for Private Companies is available using a program that simply places a publicly traded company, as a strategic partner, in the middle between the investor and the private company.

In exchange for being a strategic partner for the private company, the public company is motivated by the opportunity to acquire an asset or an application (offered by the private company) that enhances its core business. By using this structure, the investors group can invest in and use global resources to support the private company.

This program is ideal for private companies that have noteworthy management or proprietary assets, seek to raise growth capital without selling a controlling interest and are not ready for a public stock market. This is a great opportunity for privately held companies to improve their overall value, and worldwide economic presence, especially if you are interested in increasing your market share, or interested in being a part of mergers & acquisitions.

The private company can select their own public company or our institutional investors can assist in locating one. The public company may be listed on any exchange worldwide, except India.

Benefits of the SPP for Private Companies:

The private company (Beneficiary) receives growth capital while staying private and maintaining ownership control. The Beneficiary also benefits by having the public company as a strategic partner/investor and by having our institutional investors’ multi-billion dollar, multinational fund backing them.

The transaction can close very quickly once all parties agree to terms. If you are organized, and ready to proceed quickly, this process can occur within a month or less.

The public company benefits by acquiring an asset, product, service, or application that it believes enhances its core business. This application can often be a carve-out of the Beneficiary’s core product line.

Our institutional investors and their affiliates benefit by putting their capital to work in promising investment opportunities that would otherwise be unavailable to investors, who are restricted to public market transactions.

July 2011 Grants.gov Stakeholder Webcast now Posted Online

The Grants.gov Stakeholder Webcast conducted on July 20, 2011 has been posted to the Internet. You can view the webcast by clicking here: Grants.Gov Webcast.

LOOKING FOR QUALIFIED PREPARED ENTREPRENEURS SEEKING FUNDING

Unfortunately, the majority of entrepreneurs that contact me seeking funding do not realize that you make one first impression with potential investors, and if you are not prepared, you destroy your chances of receiving funding.

Please read this advice before contacting me to improve your chances of receiving funding.

BEFORE YOU CONTACT ME…

Have a fully completed BRIEF (less than 20 pages, investors want to read a marketing “tease” not a novel) business plan which contains executive biographies of ALL upper management, describing their successful experience building profitable companies at their current and prior employers. You are trying to convince investors that your decision makers know how to raise cash, revenue and profit.

Have a fully completed “realistic & conservative” pro forma budget for at least the next three years with attainable projected numbers. Investors lose respect for “dreamers” who project unrealistic projected profits. Never proclaim your company to be a risk-free investment, all potential investments have varying degrees of risk, you will immediately lose credibility. Never say “I have a great idea.” Proclaiming you have an idea is like saying “I have an opinion,” everybody has one, show an investor what you are doing (or will do) to earn revenue, that is what an investor wants to see.

Have a fully completed draw-down schedule that explains a timeline of the money you are seeking in U.S. Dollars.

Have audited financial statements immediately available because you will be asked to submit them for review.

Research your industry, you will need to explain your company, your industry, how your company fits within the industry, know the amount of revenue and profits your industry has currently and projected industry revenue and profits.

Go to a bank, and ask about the funding process of applying for a loan (whether you seek a loan, equity, or a combination of both), so that you realize that you are expected to answer many questions about your personal and corporate finances. You will learn that ALL potential investors do not hand millions of dollars to strangers without performing due diligence beforehand to verify the accuracy of the submitted business plan, executive biographies, the credibility of your pro forma budget compared to other companies within the same industry, and a thorough background check (personal & corporate) of all upper management of your company. You will also learn that the applicant has fees related to applying to receive funding because investors will not research your company via due diligence at their own expense, they are in business to seek potentially profitable investments and unfortunately many investment opportunities submitted to them are not potentially profitable investments.

Be honest with all submitted paperwork and with answers to all questions. Sadly, this seems like common sense, but I have seen an alarming percentage of applicants destroy their chances of receiving funding by lying and committing fraud. All of my investor partners calculate that AT LEAST 50 to 75 percent of applicants are caught lying and committing fraud after submitting an application to receive funding. It’s one of the MANY reason investment companies hire THOROUGH due diligence companies to investigate all applicants before investing millions, sometimes billions, of dollars into applicants’ companies. Because of prior applicants who breach contracts and commit fraud, due diligence will always be used by banks and investment companies before they give money to applicants, if you want to blame anyone, blame the applicants before you who are caught committing fraud, as a result, applicants are not trusted as being honest until AFTER due diligence is completed. 

You are asking a potential investor to become your business partner either through a debt, or equity (or combination) investment. All relationships (business & personal) are based upon trust. Once you violate that trust by lying and submitting a fraudulent application to receive funding, your chances of receiving funding are zero. Due diligence is thorough. Banks and private investors consist of multi-millionaires and billionaires who did not become successful and wealthy by making moronic business decisions. Your credibility and opportunity to receive funding improves when investors perform due diligence and verify that you are honest, their trust in you and their desire to become your business partner increases if they can verify that you are honest. Due diligence is something you should embrace if you are honest because it increases your chances of receiving funding if an investor can verify that you are truthful and credible, it separates you from the applicants who lie and commit fraud.

Research the funding industry and what “credible” investment terms should be. If you are the C.E.O. of a start-up (pre revenue) company with no financial statements showing that you know how to manage a cash flow, collect accounts receivable, acquire other assets, revenue, E.B.I.T.D.A., and net profit and you are asking for millions of dollars in exchange for equity only, stop and think about how an investor will perceive you, your company, and your expectations. A company with no cash, no customers and no revenue is wasting everyone’s time asking for equity only because investors will not buy ownership in a company with no assets in exchange for millions of dollars, it’s illogical and not expected to be a profitable investment opportunity. If you are a start-up (pre revenue) company you need to expect to receive an offer for funding in exchange for debt and consider yourself fortunate if an investor wants the offer to be part equity in addition to debt, otherwise you’re wasting everyone’s time.

I had a client who did not receive funding because he expected to receive a loan at 4 % interest for a start-up (pre revenue) company with no financial statements showing that they knew how to manage a cash flow, collect accounts receivable, acquire other assets, revenue, E.B.I.T.D.A., and net profit. The client lost all credibility by not having done his research because he had unrealistic expectations. The investor laughed and told the client that if he could receive a loan at 4 %, the investor wanted to know with whom so he could borrow billions of dollars and make a fortune paying back a loan at 4 %. I routinely see unprepared applicants destroy their chances of receiving funding by being unprepared and not researching what they need to know before applying to receive funding. This feedback is designed to help you because applicants who do not receive funding routinely make some combination of the errors I just mentioned, learn from the mistakes of others so that your company does receive funding.
