Is Your Business Private and Seeking Investments?
If so, Are you ready to take on private or VC investors? What is the probability that your company can go public? Friends & Family, Angel, and Venture Capital investors will most likely ask you this question. They want to know so that a price-earnings ratio can be used on the earnings to determine value, rather than private valuation. This is very important for bringing liquidity to the investor. It is also relevant for providing a marketplace valuation on your business. Besides, the less likelihood there is for your company to go public, the less likely the officers, directors, and shareholders will own a large share of the stock (assuming you go the private equity route for raising capital). Typically, the exit for the VC or Angel investor will be a private sale, which can bring a lower price for the stock than if your business were a public company.

Cochran Edwards & Partners
Investment Banking Services
Through a partnership with Cochran Edwards' (www.CochranEdwards.com) investment banking and advisory services and MarketCertainty's (www.MarketCertainty.com) investor relations, financial communication, and market awareness services, CEandP PR provides strategic advisory, investment intermediary, and shareholder/financial services to public companies and private businesses wanting access to private equities or the public securities markets, furnishing clients with continuing access to the public financial markets, including public shells, reverse mergers, registered spin-offs, and IPO underwriters. The advisory firm works with management to design a compelling business, financial, and marketing plan to attract shareholders, broker dealers, and market makers. By integrating these business plans, we provide timely and cost effective access to sources of debt, equity, credit facility, public fund, and PIPE (private investment in a public entity) financing; additional capital can be obtained through Secondary or Direct Public Offerings. CEandP PR perform specialized strategic advisory services for growth companies planning to go public, having recently completed a public merger/offering, or stalled micro to small cap publicly traded companies. While there are several options for a company to access public markets, CEandP PR works to develop a cost effective plan for going public through reverse mergers with a clean shell.
The
bottom line is that access to capital is most often greater through the
public markets, but that is not to say that the road to this
money is smooth and without many challenges.
This avenue will require a new area of skill sets for
your Directors and Officers to master.
As a private company, you have many options to gain
access that is crucial to your business’ sustainable
livelihood. Friends
& Family will only last so long.
Angel Capital is available, but is limited and
sometimes slow to
come by. Venture
Capital can be dilutive and hard to access if you or
your investment bankers are not connected to the right people.
But all forms of private equity are available to your
business.
Going public can provide access to quick capital and allows shareholders a clear and defined exit strategy, but must be seriously considered before dedicating valuable (financial, management, legal, etc.) resources. Private equities are also readily available to startup and early stage businesses today, and it too carries it's own set of risks. CEandP PR has expertise and experience in all private and public methods of raising capital, but is focused on (reverse) mergers with a new, clean, and/or manufactured shell. If you are interested in pursuing the Reverse Merger pathway to the public markets, please call 206-251-0500 or send email today to get started.
