You can do a reverse merger with an existing OTCBB shell. The cash costs are usually less than $200,000. However,repparttar shell insiders retain their shares in your company. They will sell their shares into any effort you make to try to create a strong and sustainable share price. Inrepparttar 112398 end, your investor relations costs of a reverse merger shell are a multiple of your costs of simply buyingrepparttar 112399 shell. If you decide upon a shell solution, buyrepparttar 112400 shell. Never do a reverse merger.

Beowulf Investments [http://home.earthlink.net/~beowulfinvestments/] offers a program that will take your company public for about fifty thousand dollars. It takes a few months and not a year to completerepparttar 112401 process. Unfortunately, this merchant bank limits its services to operating, non-U.S. companies seeking to become multinational corporations. They require thatrepparttar 112402 public company use its shares to buy cash-producing assets inrepparttar 112403 tradition of Cisco Systems. They require thatrepparttar 112404 insiders pool and vault their shares for years. It's anything but a get-rich-quick scheme, but it does offer Private Placement financing for its clients.

If you don't do an IPO, you must raise money through a Private Placement. This means that you must find a venture capital firm, angel investors or a merchant bank willing to risk money in your public company. While being public makes this process easier and surer than seeking funds for a private company, you have less than an even chance of securing a Private Placement for your public company.

If you are seeking risk capital for a startup company or simply don't likerepparttar 112405 regulatory risks involved in being a public company, you need to write a business plan that limits investor risk. If you are a group of Angel investors and don't want to lose all of your risk capital in a failed venture, you need to require some insurance against business failure. I can help you develop a limited risk, startup speculative investment insurance plan.

Go public, if possible. If impossible, offer insurance against total business failure. In either case, you are more likely to find investors, if you are an entrepreneur. And, if you are an investor, you are less likely to lose all of your risk capital.
