Once upon a time the American Dream was simple; start a company, grow the company, create jobs and provide a better path for your children. Now the American dream is how to stay afloat, keep your house and remove the daggers that the government is ramming in the small of your back. Your congressman and governor say one thing and do another. The white house takes your tax dollars with one hand and pickpockets you for your lunch money with the other.

Activist bloggers and armchair protesters are against the system when it’s convenient but when the spotlight is off and no one is watching they golf with their senator and take quiet money from special interest groups.

The entrepreneur has been drug into the darkened alleyway, sucker punched, hogtied and left to rot by a system that uses them like a smack-head hits the pipe and as long as the media keeps quiet, the individual entrepreneur feels that they are the only ones engaged in this struggle but this is simply not the case.

The banks wanted more than your house, they wanted your tax dollars and the government gave it to them and in front of the cameras they shook hands and agreed that this ‘bailout money’ would go back into the economy to spark a resurgence in civilian confidence in a system that force-feeds poison and slices off pounds of flesh from it’s zombie citizens.

The reality is, in back room meetings and secret handshakes this money was understood to go into the pockets of corrupt institutional banks and would never make it to local and national economic relief. Knowing all of this, ask yourself, at the end of the day, who can you turn to? What politician at any level can you trust to cut you a break? The answer is simple, none. Look to your right and left and you’ll find the answer. The accredited investor and people investing in people is the only way to slow down the corruption. Of course when the government sees how unity is productive they’ll figure out a way to pollute our confidence in one another with overgeneralizations and hyphenated ethnicities and other politically correct pig Latin that means nothing but divides everyone. In that division is where the government takes hold.

Here is a revolutionary idea. Actually, it’s not so revolutionary as it is unspoken and it goes like this: Business plan + Private Placement Memorandum + Fund Raising = Take your company public. Taking your company public is the only way to take control of your truly productive and marketable product or service and the steps are simple and above. First start with a professionally authored business plan that clearly spells out your idea and sets the stage for what your company is about and the reality of what is possible. Be truthful. Be honest and the investors will come if you position yourself properly. Positioning yourself properly in the USA means setting up a structure that the government can control and in this case the minimum requirement for raising equity capital is with a regulation D rule exemption 504, 505 or 506 also referred to as a private placement memorandum (PPM) which is an SEC regulated mechanism for distributing shares in your company for investment dollars. I’m not a fan of big government but Reg D is a good idea and keeps from the wrong types of people raising capital. Regulation D keeps it clean by spelling out the potential risk factors for your company and by using a valuation it will state a solid ‘per share’ price. You simply put out a certain amount of equity for public consumption and set the share price and offer it to people by staying within the non solicitation standards set forth by the SEC and it’s that easy. After you’ve initiated your fund raising you’ll want to provide a profitable exit strategy for your investors and you’ll want a way to capitalize off of your position so your company can grow. Going public on the OTCBB (over the counter bulletin board) is a great way to expand and raise capital. Have a qualified securities attorney file your s1 and go through comments with the SEC. Have your consultant or attorney refer you to a solid market maker to sponsor your 15c211 with FINRA and wham-bam you have a trading symbol and you’re public. Now just file your 10k’s and 10Q’s throw in some solid publicity and investor relations and you’re off and running. Stepping outside the system and getting organized will take you places you’ve never dreamed possible. Get out there! You can do it.

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.

The US is a game preserve and the entrepreneur is the endangered species being hunted by political poachers. Don’t expect a solution by government bureaucrats that use band aids intended to provide a temporary and sub-modest patch up, only problem is this band aid is suppose to close up a bazooka shot to the chest so don’t wait on resolutions that will have a lasting effect.

So what is the solution? When a company is fighting for survival who can they turn to? Two groups that will only hang string you up and hang you to dry are politicians and institutional banks. Both of these sectors of industry are parasites who will eat you from the inside out and then transform into maggots to feast on your rotting flesh.

Strange wording for a financial paper but this is reality. So again, who can you turn to for guidance? That answer is both simple and simultaneously complicated as there are multiple sub sectors of finance each with their own good and bad issues. Seek out a consulting firm that offers turnkey solutions with a contact portfolio that could gag a horse.

To raise money and facilitate quality strategies that will get you from point A to point B a consultant must have contacts with accredited investors, investor relations strategists, market makers, securities attorneys who can bang out 10k and 10q’s as well as constructive counsel for mergers and acquisitions to assist in strategic growth. Your consultant also needs to know where to look and uncover powerful strategic partners that can enhance and induce your company’s expansion efforts.

Many companies are using a regulation d solution also known as a private placement memorandum which uses the SEC loopholes of Reg D 504, 505 and 506 for pre public fundraising and bypass the ‘wild west’ factor of the pink sheets and go to a pre NASDAQ trading platform such as the OTCBB. A solid consultant can complete the task but qualifying them should not constitute drilling them on past transactions and other pointless interrogation tactics as this will only push away the good consultants and bring the scumbags in by the truckload as this type of skepticism is something that the fly-by-nights are comfortable with and use to. Instead ask them for a plan on how they anticipate taking your company from the beginning to fund raising stardom.

Their plan should include corporate structuring and strategies, board of directors selection, advisory board selection, acquisitions strategy, SEC auditor, S1 attorney, market maker for your 15c211 and enough investor relations and corporate publicity to force the continental shelf into movement.

Settle for nothing less than strategic and all inclusive consulting solutions when raising capital and going public or you’ll find yourself in the precarious dilemma of having your public offering piecemealed with no one to hold accountable at the end of the day and believe me, that is the last place you want to be because those companies end up being shelf corporations that are so riddled with holes you can’t even sell them off for a reverse merger.

Get the entire plan from your consultant before signing that contract and moving forward.
