The Catastrophic Annihilation of intellect by ‘no child left behind’ and political correctness make our children sitting ducks to the debilitating and mind numbing triggers of our self proclaimed ‘betters’. Sly as foxes and cunning as the crow your local politicians work hand in hand with the gods and monsters in the imperial system of numbers on a screen (fractional reserve lending). When you take a loan from an institutional lender and sign on the line or when you vote for that regional senator or politician and don’t stay on top of their agenda you are pinning the hands of our children behind their backs and marching them, one after the other, off the cliff to their doom.

I loathe anti-establishment hippies who have a mortgage and credit card with top tier banks, these fraudulent ‘tree huggers for hire’ are a major reason we are in this mess. Outwardly they act as if they despise the establishment yet behind closed doors they enable a system that desecrates on the souls of our youth.

To be able to change the system, one must first become part of the system. The problem with blending into the system with intent to change things is that most aren’t strong enough to turn a blind eye to the corruption that absolute power brings.

It’s common knowledge that politicians philander and survive on the take of corruption. They kiss babies, take their picture with supporters but behind closed doors their vampire traits come to the surface as these behind closed doors agendas strip the rights of the people of this country but you just stand there and do nothing. Sign on the dotted line, get that loan for your business and hang our children up to dry, it’s all so easy. Here is an idea, take the power from the politicians and crooked institutional bloodsuckers and take the fate of your company in your own hands. If you have a real viable business offer it up to the people.

I am forever ringing this bell and standing on the soapbox screaming this concept to whoever will listen, “You, reader, do not need a bank to fund your company”. What is it about this concept that you don’t understand. I’m not telling you to lobby venture capital firms that would demand a pound of flesh for every dollar they put into your company. There is a much easier way. You have, at your disposal two concepts that can transform your world in an instant while building massive wealth for your children: Private Placement Memorandums and Over The Counter Bulletin Boards.

A PPM allows you to stay within SEC guidelines while selling an equity interest in your company to investors for cash and services. You would be shocked at how effective this process can be for raising capital. But take it one step forward. You’ve raised money to expand your business now stabilize your corporation by going public on the OTCBB. Hire a consultant who can structure your company properly in a way that is conducive to attracting serious investors pre public.

Pay close attention to your board of directors, advisory board, C level executive pedigree and last but not least have an investor relations strategy in place that could choke a horse! Publicity, press releases, stock alerts, radio expert panel interviews and more. Plaster the bulletin board market with your message but be sure to stay within promotion compliance. Do this and you will tear the keys that hold your future from the rusty poisonous talons of bankers and do nothing politicians and you’ll place the keys of prosperity and financial freedom to those who deserve it; you, your family and your employees and of course the investors that helped you get there.

Tell your local politician and banker to take a hike, seek Christ and repent and whenever you vote for a political scumbag in the future, hold them to every word and call them on every lie and make it as public as possible! I will now step off my soapbox.

Easily Find And Secure: Angel Investors, Private Investors, Institutional Investors And More! Raising capital for a start-up, corporation in expansion mode or a company in virtually any position presents it’s challenges and roadblocks. There has been no period in recent history that can simulate the difficulties that current entrepreneurs and executives are having when trying to achieve the procurement of venture capital. The standards have become more stringent and the cross-collateralization of personal and corporate assets as security for loans has virtually become a mandatory prerequisite for any type of funding, equity or loan based.

When initiating the process of raising capital one should take into consideration the use of a combination of funding options such as but not limited to: traditional venture capital, bank institutional, institutional equity investment, hedge fund lenders, private money lending, angel equity and loan investment, a private placement memorandum as the mechanism for raising capital distributed in shares, international equity based funding, the reality of taking your small business public on the OTCBB and many other concepts of capital raising that can be placed into a simultaneous strategy.

It’s a common mistake among entrepreneurs and executives to place all of their attention and time into one singular aspect of the above funding concepts. Instead, you should pick a multi pronged approach and go after multiple genres of financing for your business. Some avenues will yield success, some will not but you are more likely to achieve incremental funding successes as oppose to one gargantuan, be all and end all finance victory.

To achieve funding you’ll need to be able to contact multiple finance sources to start the ball rolling. Find online membership database sites that are owned and operated by professionals in the venture capital industry.

So many companies dream of going public to raise massive amounts of capital, as set up for an exit strategy, to make acquisitions with stock and for many other reasons. While your intentions may be pure and with genuine motives, you’re entering shark infested waters of boiler rooms, crooked attorneys and underbelly consultants who have made careers off of taking well intentioned executives just like you for a 24 month roller-coaster ride while they take every penny you have as your company shrivels up like week old road kill.

Just and honest consultants in the ‘public offering’ industry are as rare as the illusive white elephant. This industry exists in a cesspool surrounded by rose gardens; from afar it looks amazing and an image of a dreamland but get up and close and the sludge and odor are enough to make you run and hide. So what do you look for in a consultant? The best consulting firms are the ’boutique firms’ with minimal overhead that keep a low profile and are made up of 3 or 4 ‘partner’ consultants.

These firms typically have the experience of working with the large consulting groups but for one reason or another have decided to leave and go out on their own. The great thing is, these small groups typically have massive contacts and process your entire public offering in-house. Offering a complete turn-key solution that is managed in-house offers a huge advantage because there is accountability and you can actually build a relationship with the people that are making your dream of a public offering come true.

These ’boutique’ consultants will usually stay on board as growth consultants for the life of the company in exchange for modest fees and a pre-IPO or pre-OTCBB equity position. The large firms will hack you out at the knees and gouge you with fees while they take massive amounts of equity in your company which takes away your bartering chip when you need to offer more stock to the public to raise capital.

The small firms will also work one on one with you to show you how to use your stock to grow through acquisition and other nifty ways to use stock to grow. Seek out the boutique consulting firm and save the attorney for spot audits. Hold on to your cash. Why pay outrageous fees to lawyers when you can pay 60% less with a small consulting firm that will add all the bells and whistles for free and actually get your stock trading, usually in half the time?

If you are going to start raising capital for your start-up or established business you’ve most likely been advised to have a Private Placement Memorandum written for your company so you don’t get in trouble with the SEC for selling securities without the proper structure.

The Offering Circular section of your document is crucial. Most likely you won’t be authoring this document on your own as it is wise to outsource this necessity to a trained consultant or attorney who specializes in PPM docs but you should be familiar with the basic anatomy of an Offering Circular so you can understand the PPM as a whole.

Here is a general breakdown of the sections of your Offering Circular, they are as follows (there are a few technical sections left out to streamline and simplify this explanation):

Amount of company equity you want to make available, escrow agent info, address and phone number, business locations presently and in the future and why have you decided on these locations, pertinent information about the company (date of incorporation , purpose of creating this company etc), risk factors in your industry, history of operations, time lapse from start-up to operational stage of the company, talk about the ins and outs of your competition, dependence on management, detailed description of the company, government regulations in your industry, who is retaining control of the company, dividend details, how did you arrive at the arbitrary offering price., details about officer’s salary, use of proceeds to repay loans due to officers and director, additional use of proceeds, in depth break down of business (summary, management, strategic partnerships etc), company balance sheet demonstrating assets, liabilities, shareholder equity etc.

This has been a general breakdown of the offering circular basics. Please consult your consultant or attorney for a more in-depth description. A Private Placement Memorandum can help you raise capital quickly and easily and is often the pivoting mechanism for a public offering. Take advantage of this valuable instrument as you pursue capital for your business.

When fund raising for your corporation or start-up, investors will want their equity distribution in an SEC recognized format like a Private Placement Memorandum, also known as a PPM or offering memorandum. This unique structure makes use of one of the three Regulation D exemptions stemming from the Securities Act of’33.

The three powerful exemptions are Regulation D Rule 504, Rule 505 and Rule 506. These rules carry different criteria that help businesses raise equity funding without all the stringent legalities of an IPO. These rules are defined like this: Rule 506 provides an exemption for limited offers and sales without regard to the dollar amount of the offering.

This exemption does not limit the number of accredited investors, but the number of non-accredited investors may not exceed 35 investors. (An accredited investor is any one investor with a certain net worth and or experience in the purchase of stocks.) All non-accredited purchasers, either alone or together with a designated representative must be sophisticated enough (i.e., have the knowledge and experience necessary) to evaluate the merits and risks of the investment. (An offering company typically determines the sophistication of its investors with a questionnaire subscription agreement.)

Rule 506 requires very detailed disclosure of all relevant information to potential investors; the extent of disclosure depends on the dollar size of the offering. Rule 505 offerings may not exceed $5 million, less the total dollar amount of securities sold during the preceding 12 month period under Rule 504, Rule 505 or Section 3 of the act. This exemption limits the number of non-accredited investors to 35 but has no investor sophistication standards. Rule 505 requires disclosure similar to that required for Rule 506 offerings, under $7.5 million.

Rule 504 offerings allow a business to raise a maximum of $1 million, less the total dollar amount of securities sold during the preceding 12 month period, under Rule 504, Rule 505 or Section 3 of the act. However, a business can raise only $500,000 by the sale of securities to persons residing in the states of Montana and Alaska, which have no disclosure laws applicable to the offering. For the states that do have disclosure laws, which are 48 out of the 50 states, a business can raise up to $1,000,000. Rule 504 has no prescribed disclosure requirements, no limit on the number of purchasers, and no investor sophistication standards. So if you’re trying to raise capital using a PPM, use the above criteria as a cliff note and as long as you stay within SEC guidelines, raising capital can be easy.

Whether you’re trying to raise debt or equity capital there are still certain unwritten rules that apply that cater to the mentality of today’s investor and funding community. Certainly there are scores of private placement memorandum and business plan chop shops that wouldn’t know how to properly consult with your company or write a fundable document even if they wanted to but they will gladly take your money to throw together a template and try to pass it off as custom work.

The issue is this, it’s not necessarily the consultant, though these fly-by-nights shoulder a large portion of the blame, but the client usually doesn’t even have the proper structure in place to attract a funding source even if they had the most incredible PPM and business ever to hit the venture capital marketplace. Here is a simple (very basic) way to evaluate your company to find out if you are properly structured to attract capital. Have a corporate meeting and ask yourselves the following questions: What type of corporate structure do you have and why did you choose that particular structure? Break down your executive infrastructure, where do your individual executives stand in your industry, do the unthinkable, Google everyone’s names; are the people running your company real industry players? Are all the basic positions accounted for (president, CFO, controller etc)? Next, look at your advisory board and board of directors. If by some miraculous act of God you actually have these two groups represented in your company, how did you qualify them? Sorry but if you have an attorney on your board because he’s, um…well, an attorney, that’s not good enough.

You need an industry specific legal guru who not only spells out the intricacies of your business genre’s regulation but they must also be actively qualifying potential strategic partnerships as alliances for your company. He should be reaching into his client base and actively picking companies that could enhance your company in distribution or in any other way that will have a profitable outcome for all involved. Each of the members must be serving a similar purpose.

Next, on what criteria are you basing your share price or loan amount? If you don’t have a clear cut ‘use of proceeds’ model, you need one. This and many, many other questions need to be asked before you are actually ready to raise capital and in all reality, until your corporate structure is in place you shouldn’t even attempt to write a business plan or a private placement memorandum. If you are serious about setting up your company to attract investors you need a turnaround consultant, you can’t do this on your own. There is an entire industry that centers around structuring companies for their first and ongoing capital raise.

Before you blackball your company by prematurely attempting to raise capital, the critical concepts you need to keep in mind are (precisely in this order): corporate structure, infrastructure, advisory board, board of directors, use of proceeds, business plan, private placement memorandum, investor finder, funding. Look at each aspect listed here as its own item, break it down and analyze every minute aspect of each element and look at everything objectively and eventually your company will evolve into a structure that is fundable and stabilized for years to come.
