Going public is a significant milestone in the lifecycle of a company and for its owners and shareholders. The financial, managerial and organizational issues that arise are complex and require a high degree of expertise. Our professionals are sensitive to the different techniques that are most helpful in achieving successful transactions.

 

We work with our clients, offering knowledge and expertise in assisting them in becoming a public company. Our resources and relationships in the financial communities as well as experience in helping companies go public allow us to provide our clients with a comprehensive range of services. We maintain relations with underwriters, broker-dealers, market makers, merchant banks and other financial institutions.

Reverse Mergers

Some of the most important work involved in a reverse merger transaction begins long before the public entity is identified. A clearly defined strategy identifying a client's long-term objectives and how these relate to them being public is the beginning point to the reverse merger process. We assess all aspects of our clients' goals with a constant focus on how the company will be received in the public financial marketplace.

For example, a properly designed capitalization structure is vital during the transition of becoming a public company. As part of the strategic planning process, we custom tailor a capitalization structure to coincide with the company's objectives and any anticipated public market requirements. Overall the main areas given consideration during this stage include: future acquisitions, raising capital, shareholder liquidity, stock options, employee stock ownership programs, etc.
