If you have a public or pre public micro cap company you’ve obviously investigated or experienced the staggering swings in daily trading volume. There are numerous causes for these swings such as: federal legislative announcements that affect your industry, not living up to the previous quarters financial projections and even something as simple as not keeping the public informed of what’s going on with your company which can cause one of your big stock holders to sell their shares causing a ripple effect throughout your shareholder base.

Banks were broke, tax payers bailed them out. Who’s bailing you out of your business funding needs? Regulation D Rule 504, 505 and 506 may come to mind. Commonly referred to as the Private Placement Memorandum (PPM), Regulation D is a mechanism in which companies can raise capital from the public via private placement.

Growing a franchise organization is a technical, multifaceted task that few have done effectively and most experience only modest growth overshadowed by strangulating debt. Real growth is rooted in strategic planning and corporate structuring. The proper configuration will have a board of directors, advisory board, well pedigreed C level executives, strategic alliances to induce growth, publicity strategy and other concepts that are mandatory prerequisites for a scalable business model that will last the test of time.

Once upon a time the American Dream was simple; start a company, grow the company, create jobs and provide a better path for your children. Now the American dream is how to stay afloat, keep your house and remove the daggers that the government is ramming in the small of your back. Your congressman and governor say one thing and do another. The white house takes your tax dollars with one hand and pickpockets you for your lunch money with the other.

There is a system in place for globalization. In order to expand you need to become part of the system. There is no organized group of puppeteers controlling your economic fate and for any obstacle in your path there is a solution. Economics and international expansionism is a combination of formula and contacts.

Companies decide to go public for many different reasons: expansion, need for capital, exit strategy, acquisition facilitation, globalization etc. But what are the real advantages to going public? First, let’s go over the disadvantages. Your life becomes an open book and as an executive your spending habits and failures will be a matter of public information with your annual and quarterly filings.

As a strategies consultant my firm deals with IPOs on every scale whether we are the lead group on the project or not. Sometimes we run the project and put our own team in place, others we are part of a team for another consulting firm. One thing that I’ve learned is when is our project we need to take the ‘lead role’ because at the end of the day everyone just sits staring unless they are given exact descriptions of what needs to be accomplished and in what time frame.

So many companies make gargantuan mistakes that are irreversible when it comes to fund-raising. Whether you’re taking a company public, finding an attorney to file your S1 or using a consultant to write a Private Placement Memorandum to raise capital; you need to know that you are a tantalizing snack for industry wolves.
Companies seeking the above services with ill-informed executive decision makers often fall prey to predatory consultants who have no intention and couldn’t fulfill the services they are being hired for even if they wanted to. Upstarts and fast talkers who call themselves ‘business consultants’ are usually nothing more than resellers of a service who is a boilerplate, template driven organization without the contacts or know-how to facilitate an IPO, S1 or PPM.

I deal with S1 attorneys all day every day and most of them are entrepreneurial, hard working and interested in helping you in any way they can but there are also a lot of bad ones out there. If you are taking your company public the last thing you want is a broke as a joke s1 filing agent.
