Taking Your Company Public – “The Princeton Effect” – The Most Powerful Economic Movement In 100 Years

On July 24, 2010, In business, By Brad Heatherington

For decades economic realities have been placed under a black veil of secrecy with its truths and lies known only to the institutional banking elite and we the public just stand like an ocean of monkeys. The system was never exposed, insiders never spoke out.

Yes, this industry has been nothing but lies and chaos, that is, until about 8 years ago. A small consulting firm called Princeton Corporate Solutions began to take this insider knowledge and make it available through very public articles and blogs. The blog on their website is one of the premier global economics and IPO blog stops on every economist’s pilgrimage to seeking and using investment banking, global commerce and IPO knowledge written by the hands of the masters.

The PCS blog does something that no other financial blog in the world does, they take away the technical jargon and in plain English, patiently and painstakingly take the reader by the hand and show them how something like having a personal bank account with a top tier institutional lender can be adding debt to your children’s tax liability 20 years from now.

They talk about the ‘unspoken’ truths of how if a country wants to hurt another country that is not cooperating with insiders, then the insiders want to impose economic sanctions on these decanters and inflict pain by damaging trade relations, threatening IMF intervention or liquidating currency holding to further damage the company who’s not playing by the rules of the establishment. Taking the military into a country is more for statement than anything as economic sanctions are the most powerful tool of war without lifting a single gun and the goal is to get the citizens of the country fed up and wound up so that they force internal changes within their borders to get those sanctions lifted but this rarely happens. The economy will eventually weaken and big business will step in with fists full of Uncle Sam’s money and start introducing the locals to the finer things in life, the luxuries that they could have but their president doesn’t want them to have them etc.

The exposing of how institutional insiders and politicians toy with the system is now termed ‘The Princeton Affect’ named after Princeton Corporate Solutions. “I think it’s a Wall Street Thing” says James Scott, CEO of PCS, “I just got so sick of hearing the lies on TV and having all the zombies at home watching and believing all this garbage. All we are trying to do is help the little guy understand what he is truly up against when trying to run the company in this economy.”

Global economics affects everyone with a pulse on the planet yet so few people understand it, ‘The Princeton Affect’ is the crystallization and simplifying technical economic issues in a way for the common man to increase knowledge and understanding on how to best protect oneself and grow during this difficult time as a business owner or C level executive.

Entrepreneurs, Whatever You Do . . . Don’t Fall Asleep. Uncle Sam Is Hiding Under Your Bed

On July 17, 2010, In business, By James Scott

Lets face it, if you are a small or medium size business owner, the government looks at you and sees dollar signs and instead of words coming from your mouth they just hear ‘cha ching’! Don’t be naive you mean about as much to your local congressman as a slab of road kill to maggots.

They’ll feed off you as long as you’re willing to wear a blindfold and hand out pounds of flesh with yor IRS tax check and make sure you vote on time but don’t have an opinion and if you do have an opinion, keep it to yourself. Today’s politician has about as much integrity as a prison gang leader and zero patience or tolerance to actually digest the needs verbalized by their constituents and if you are a business owner just place your vote and shut up because no one is listening anyway.

Besides, you’re just a robot with your programming card hooked up to talk radio and the news and you’ll believe what the system tells you to. They say that the bailout money is to jump-start the economy and you believed it but now your company is going under, you can’t make payroll and your local senator and congressional rep are MIA.

Wake up, turn your head and cough, now cut your check and shut your mouth. Go back to your dirty little office at your 2005 archaic PC and get to work, Uncle Sam is watching you and you better perform because your tax liabilities are growing, your line of credit is maxed and there is no help in site.

What should you do when you have no one to turn to? Turn and look in the mirror and the solution is that half shaved bloodshot eyed pawn staring back at you. Now pull your shoulders back, pick up that chin and begin to move strategically. For every action there is a reaction and your industry is constantly moving as the government has placed you on a treadmill for the ultimate distraction so that you keep your head down and work without asking questions. But now look up and put a strategy together that will spearhead your growth and stability.

You should look at your fund raising options in a ‘private raise’ sense with an exit strategy that will keep capital flooding your bank account. Investigate the possibility of raising some capital with a Private Placement Memorandum (regulation d) and provide an exit strategy that will have investors flooding your crummy little office, go public on the OTCBB and offer investors the ability to trade without restriction. Now you’re obtaining real power. Next, look at your internal corporate strategy.

Remember, the less organized you are, the more control outside sources have over you because you can’t argue your case in a manner that is conducive to strength. Make sure that your financials are audited once per year, make sure that your company executives are actively seeking strategic alliances on behalf of your company and hold them to a quota. Diversify your product and service offering. Use publicity to advertise instead of traditional ads. Joint venture your promotional campaigns for maximum affect and minimal cash outlay. In these strange economic times you should be streamline, lean and mean. You should evaluate your employees twice per month as on a daily basis they need to earn the right to work for you. Put together a board of directors and qualify them by evaluating their contact base and track record, compensate them in restricted shares and offer some type of annual options. You should also have an advisory board that gets a modest share distribution but primarily uses their advisory board position to gain experience and to build their resume. Set goals for all the members and put it in a Board or advisor contract. Look at the possibility and realistic success of going public and if you go public, choose a solid pre NASDAQ structure such as the OTCBB. In going public your main job at that point is growing and stabilizing your share price with powerful investor relations, PR and growth through acquisitions. You’re on your own, don’t wait on help that will never come. Find a consultant that believes in your concept and can help you build on the foundation you have. Globalize your expansion efforts as opposed to limiting yourself to a minute geographic proximity. Take control of your fate now!

Regulation D 504, 505 And 506 Will Not Get You The Funding You Need: A Must Read

On July 10, 2010, In business, By James Scott

For those of you in a mad dash for funding you’ve obviously realized that banks and institutional lenders aren’t going to be parting with their cash anytime soon. The bailout money provided to them by our tax dollars was meant o jump-start the entrepreneurial community and spike job creation but this just as everything else our government does with the shake down capital it rapes from it’s citizens is nothing but smoke and mirrors.

Yes they are taking your money and placing our children in the greasy talon grip of indentured servitude without a choice and yes the banks were suppose to use this bailout money for our economy but the hand is quicker than the eye and here we are again, broke and left in economic limbo as once again the system and the government sucker punched hard working citizens, drug them into a dark alleyway and put the beat down on Joe Public. Who will come to your defense if the government that has an emergency IV hooked up to your bank account and wallet will do nothing but lie as reciprocation for destroying your company, taking your money and pummeling your children into submission as future economic lab rats.

There has been a lot of talk about Regulation d (regulation d 504, regulation d 505 and regulation d 506) also referred to as a Private Placement Memorandum which is a little used process of raising public capital via private placement with an SEC approved process for raising capital for private companies. In a typical economy investors will get involved and let their investment ride while the company restructures and pays out modest dividends prior to the payback of the Reg D payback.

Here is the problem with Regulation D, in these current economic conditions an investor is demanding a built in exit strategy with a time limit and the investment must be done in a strategic, solid manner. A prototypical, off the shelf PPM will have too many restrictions for an accredited investor to be able to sell their shares to a ready market which means the investor will need to hang onto those shares for 24+ months and just hope that the company doesn’t go broke during that period.

Here is an alternative. Use the regulation d rule 506 exemption as a pre public structure to raise just enough capital to get your company moving and use the additional proceeds to go public on the OTCBB (over the counter bulletin board). Place the pre public investor’s names on the s1 so that they can trade without restriction when the company is public just a few months later. There is you exit strategy and optimal capital raise. Make your fund raising efforts count, reg d is a great pre OTCBB structure which will provide the powerful exit strategy that will have investors banging your door down with interest.

Taking Company Public – OTCBB – OTC Bulletin Board

On May 31, 2010, In business, By James Scott

Seriously, sometimes I have to step back and laugh when I see company owners trying to pre-qualify consulting firms to take them public. I just stand there and scratch my head in disbelief when they think they are asking all the ‘right’ questions when all they are doing is setting themselves up for failure.

I recently had a company who claimed to have investors who wanted to invest in pre ipo deals. For a few weeks these guys called with a million questions and demands, most of which were contrary to basic SEC regulations and compliance. I tried to set them straight but they just didn’t get it. These guys who called themselves consultants really had no clue as to what they were doing and the questions they were asking me about my firm in order to qualify our firm were completely off base and were actually laughable. It was irritating at the time, now I just sit back and laugh as I chalk it up as another lesson learned and another relationship that fortunately did not come to fruition.

Here are some realities to consider when talking to a consulting firm to take your company public. First, no consulting group acts alone, instead they play quarterback or orchestrator to facilitate a smooth, stress free process. Most consulting firms that take companies public on the OTCBB will have securities attorneys on staff for the s1 filing, third party SEC approved auditors for the SEC audit, multiple market makers to choose from for the filing of the 15c211 and scores of Investor Relations contacts for post public market creation.

When doing due diligence on an Edgar link for S1’s in process you’ll only see the attorney information and the auditor. The Consultant has to be content to stand in the background making the entire process function and succeed with virtually no public claim or credit. If you’re doing due diligence on a consulting firm it’s more important to find out how vast their network is as opposed to being the predictable intellectual midget who will look up the consultants previous stock symbols and call the company and expect to miraculously get on the phone with a person who knows the consultant first hand. The mere thought is so ridiculous it’s redundant to even bring it up but this is something that uninformed people actually do as part of what they consider ‘due diligence’.

All you need to do is this: Talk to the senior partner at the consulting firm. Establish whether or not they are full service. Gain an understanding for how long it takes them to get you from S1 to trading symbol. If you want to do some real due diligence, find out about their post public investor relations strategy so your company not only goes public but can stay public and profitable.

Consulting firms who take companies public on the OTCBB are a small part of the whole but without them, the transaction couldn’t happen. They are the 24/7 worker bees doing the impossible for the ungrateful….until the symbol is achieved and the stock is trading properly, they you get a pat on the back and, “hey thank you so much for your hard work…what was your name again?” And I always respond, “you can call me whatever you want but on my Share Certificates you can put Princeton Corporate Solutions”.

OK, maybe that’s a bit of an exaggeration, of course they are going to remember my name but the reality is, solid due diligence by a company wanting to go public starts with a general evaluation of the consulting firm, some basic technical questions and then getting to the root and depth of their contact base to make sure your going public efforts are fast and smooth.

IPO Firms, IPOFunding & IPO Info

On May 23, 2010, In business, By James Scott

One of the most profitable investment solutions for an accredited investor is the almighty Pre IPO, seed capital opportunity. Though extremely profitable this transaction is not for the non accredited or amateur investor. The risks are numerous such as how long it will take the company to achieve it’s symbol, post public market creation and investor relations, corporate publicity, SEC audit and the ‘C’ level executives’ professional pedigree just to name a few.

But when one takes all of this into consideration it is ideal to team up with a brokerage or consulting firm who specializes in the task of corporate strategies and IPOs. When a motivated and seasoned investor aligns himself/herself with a solid firm with who has access to IPO’s it can be an extremely profitable venture and one of the few win/win situations in the investment industry.

Having access to a steady stream of Pre IPOs allows an investor to diversify in highly sought after and deeply discounted seed stock and also creates a rewarding solution for the IPO facilitators as they are raising capital and qualifying the company for it’s offering.

There are a few things that an investor should consider when seeking a strategic alliance with an IPO facilitator: how long on average does it take the firm to complete a transaction from S1 to Symbol? What does the post public Investor Relations strategy look like to create the market? Do they have a market maker or broker dealer ready to sponsor the stock? What does the client company’s executive staff, business model, board of directors and strategic partnerships look like? And who is doing the pre IPO audit on the client company?

These are just a few things to consider when finding stepping out to get involved with the much sought after pre IPO investment market.

The author of this article is not a broker dealer or licensed securities agent and one should always seek the consultation of a licensed agent before getting involved with an investment of any kind. This article is for information purposes only.

Taking A Company Public: Is Business A Form Of Warfare?

On April 23, 2010, In business, By James Scott

So is business a form of warfare? If it is who are the pawns and who are the kings? Let’s look at the facts and past the 1980s clichs that chant: Greed Is Good and Business Is War as those chanting these phrases are often on the sidelines and not gifted enough to be on the field and playing and have no choice but to live vicariously through those they are jealously watching.

Everyone wants to be a player but in this industry you need a lot more than drive you need connections and capability. By connections I mean global political, global corporate, international finance and more. By capability I mean nerves of steel, the ability to bath in acid and swim with sharks and eat class for breakfast. This is one of the most stressful industries I know of with a burnout rate that is off the charts and any other global consultant that I know has struggled with their demons to stay on the top of their game. Business, by all categorical definition is War.

There are winners, losers, economies rise and economies crumble all because of global commerce. Global commerce as you know is control over the masses by an elite few. The elite are not the government officials as they themselves are pawns in a much larger game that even they don’t understand. Commerce and finance are numbers on a computer screen and fractional reserve lending, the IMF and other organizations at the end of marionette strings to impose the will of the elite on the global populace.

War in the form of economics is ongoing whereas war with guns and the military is to make a statement. Economic warfare is trade sanctions and limiting technology that will enable a developing nation to grow which will disable their industrial capabilities so that instead of a thriving economy they are dependent on the involvement by industrialized nations. With the Bretton Woods Convention in 1944 and the reconstruction of Europe and the doing away with the gold standard the above mentioned Numbers On A Screen are dictated by who holds the most economic collateral to enforce their idea of numbers.

This group of elites has the economic and military power to impose its will and enforce the idea that the numbers that they place on that screen are etched in stone and if those numbers demonstrate a Loan to a developing nation, though no actual empirical capital has been transferred, that developing nation now becomes a willing pawn in the overall game of economic warfare. So there you have it, business is indeed a form of warfare. This industry of global finance serves as the royal court while those around us are forced to play by the rules we invent and enforce.

I’m not saying that this is a good thing, I’m not exactly proud to be part of the problem but this is the awkward reality. I know you’re waiting for a happy ending or an idea that will help create a solution but I don’t have one.

When my firm is brought in as a strategist and alliance facilitator for global rollups, acquisitions, mergers and IPOs we try to create as many jobs as possible but let me ask you, by creating more jobs are we just perpetuating the problem of the masses being controlled by the few?

Taking A Company Public: What You Must Do To Succeed

On April 18, 2010, In business, By James Scott

IPOs and Taking Your Company Public: Why Do Public Companies Fail? There are a few things that one needs to consider when strategizing to take a business public on a major exchange: corporate structure, the speed and efficiency at which the IPO is facilitated, the market creation post public with corporate publicity strategies and investor relations, relationships to secure ongoing financing and finally strategic growth through acquisition.

The corporate structure is the foundation to the company which includes a strong ‘C’ level leadership boasting a pedigree of steeped experience and professional track record.

The board of directors must be seasoned and solid composed of industry specialists in the finance, advisory, legal and distribution sectors of the industry and finally the corporations strategic alliances must be in place and strong to pad the business model and help the company grow.

The speed at which the company achieves a trading symbol is important not only to the company but the seed capital investors who want a rapid turnaround on their investment. The audit, SEC filing, 15c11 and FINRA approval need to be orchestrated by experts to complete this task in a timely manner or this process can crush your company as opposed to enhancing it.

Now that you have your trading symbol you need to create the market. Don’t count on your market maker or broker dealer to do this as they are simply a vessel to complete trades and vouch for your company on the securities level. You need powerful investor relations (IR) and corporate publicity. You should also consider publicity strategies for your ‘C’ level executives to brand them as industry experts to add legitimacy and strength to your presence and market position.

Don’t forget PIPES and other post public securities monetization solutions. These companies can offer a lifeline if you’re company is seeking expansion or acquisition capital. Make sure you get references! The last thing you want is a PIPE firm that gives you a 60% LTV (or less) against your stock and then crucifies your company by dumping the stock, ouch!

If your company is in the correct phase of evolution, growing and ready for that next level, think: OTCBB. It’s fast and relatively affordable and if you’re corporate strategies are in place you could rake in some serious capital fast for your corporate expansion.

Over The Counter Bulletin Board – Here Is Some Info You Must Know!

On April 5, 2010, In business, By James Scott

Why Are You Taking Your Company Public? Evolve Or Die! As the owner of a corporate consulting firm that takes companies public and steps into public entities with a turnaround team to fix dying companies, there are two realities of corporate strategies that ring true in any and all industries when it comes to creating successful companies and those realities are: few things work and nothing works for long. Evolve or die, the decision is yours. What works today didn’t work ten years ago and won’t work ten years from now.

Promotional strategies, inter industry alliances, legal loopholes and board member’s bartering chips are forever spinning and mutating and like Zen seem to change shape just as the issues that make a strategies template seem to be defined and duplicatable.

Constantly update your publicity technologies. Always get the opinion of different peer groups who represent polar opposites in the market place before you roll out a new product or service. Before you make a decision have a backup plan and a backup plan to that plan. Have your CFO’s work audited by outside sources. Run credit checks on executives before they are promoted and find out if they are trying to live above their means, if so, they have the ‘grass is greener’ disease and will never be satisfied and will always be looking for a better deal. Employees like this can’t be trusted to help carry a company.

If you are a business owner, your job should be finding someone more qualified than you to run and grow your company. Always have multiple streams of revenue. If you are in the service industry, diversify by offering some products. If you are in the product industry (retail type) partner with some service oriented companies to earn commissions off of their efforts and your customer base.

Always be on a lookout for strategic partners and never be afraid to network. Keep updating your business plan. When raising capital stay out of debt and offer equity instead and when you offer equity in return for investment, pick inter industry alliances to raise capital from. Use a publicist and publicize everything! If you can’t afford a publicist put out press releases keeping your industry and potential clients informed of what you’re doing.

The above is just a little advice that I give to each client before initiating the structuring process of a Pre IPO. These realities will hold true today, next year and as long as commerce exists.

Investor Relations Services: How To Truly Dominate The Public Market

On April 5, 2010, In business, By James Scott

Investor relations services: how to truly dominate the public market. If you have a public company or are in the process of taking your company public on the OTCBB or any other reputable exchange the reader must realize that going public is the easy part, having a successful public offering and preserving the longevity of your public entity is another topic all together. As a corporate strategies and public offering facilitator our firm is often called in after a company has a disastrous public offering or they’ve teamed up with the wrong service solutions that pump and dump their equity positions.

Here is the problem that most companies make when they are going public: companies don’t budget properly for general corporate publicity or solid investor relations strategies for the first year that their company is public. Investor relations and publicity stock promotion activity should be at the forefront of every public CEO’s mind.

If you are signing a large contract, publicize it with press releases, viral promotion and TV and radio expert panel discussions. When we take on a company for serious investor relations our campaigns are obviously completely customized but here is the skeletal structure of a prototypical campaign: strong viral publicity strategy consisting of video, article and press release submission, social and news book marking, logo and image posts and after this information has assimilated we get the client on prominent TV expert panel discussions with their name, company name and stock symbol on the screen.

Lastly, we then run two simultaneous 30 day stock promotion intensives with a massive injection of investor promotional concepts on both sides each day which consist of newsletters and stock alerts to ultra-active investors and other strategies daily.

The important thing to remember is that the above must happen monthly for the first six months to a year in order for your company to successfully trade. There is no other way around it, you must budget for your investor relations campaigns or your venture simply will not work.

Take My Company Public: The ‘Wheel’ Approach

On April 4, 2010, In business, By James Scott

The ‘Spoke Wheel’ Approach To Taking Your Company Public.

A public corporation, just as a private company is composed of several contributing factors that dictate the outcome of its success. If you visualize your corporate entity as the ‘hub’ of the wheel and each spoke as a ‘contributing asset’ to the company you’ll find that the more spokes in the wheel, the more weight the wheel can carry as its strength rests on scores of unified connections working together, each with one simultaneous point of interest, the hub.

These hub connections can be anything that contributes to the overall success and perpetual, yet controlled, growth strategy of the company such as: a dozen strategic partnerships that act as growing distribution channels for your product or service, finance alliances that take care of your growth capital needs, multiple legal professionals that you can tap into for advise and corporate strategies, dozens of companies within your industry that focus on a different element of the industry but cooperate as a referral source for new business and on and on.

Your goal, in creating a solid, strategically aligned pre public and post public corporation is to keep building spokes and bringing on partners and executives that can instantly contribute to adding more strategic alliances and growth enhancers to your ever evolving and emerging corporate wheel.

If you are a public company, partnerships that you should have heavily represented in your model should be securities attorneys, market makers and broker dealers, several publicists with different areas of media focus, viral publicists, investor relations facilitators and service providers etc. Don’t forget the political contacts and padding contacts. By ‘padding’ I mean contacts that may serve no active role other than having some big names affiliated with your company that can gain attention within and outside your specific industry genre.
