Investment Banking Advisory Services
As former Wall
Street financiers turned entrepreneurs, we know what you're going through. We
have felt the pain of attempting to capitalize start-up and early stage
companies. We know about the blood, sweat and tears one goes through making
payroll with maxed out credit cards. We "get it." We've had it with
the status quo and the "good ole boys" network...that's why we left
Wall Street.
Have you had it? If so, join the Financial Architect® revolution. Beat the
"good ole boys" at their own game and raise capital on your terms.
When it comes to raising substantial amounts of capital while maintaining the
vast majority of equity ownership and control, everything starts with the
production of a "marketable deal structure" that mitigates both
operational and investment risk, then house it inside a securities offering
document (i.e. a Private Placement Memorandum) compliant with federal and
state(s) securities law.
Raising capital is a little like fishing. We must deal with two factors: The
known and the unknown.
1. We know there are fish in the sea; and we know they eat. We know there are investors in the world and that they invest.
2. What we do not know is: "Will they invest in your company."
To legally go
fishing for investors, you must have a securities offering document (i.e. a
Private Placement Memorandum).
To effectively attract investors you must have a securities-offering with a
"Marketable Deal Structure" that they are hungry for.
To get them to bite you must "Mitigate Operational and Investment
Risk" to Shift Fear. Shift the fear of perceived investment lost to
absolute opportunity lost.
To easily reel investors
in you simply need to know how to get them to want to be "In the
Boat".
"Our primary purpose is to increase every entrepreneur's probability of
raising substantial amounts of capital to the highest degree possible at a mere
fraction of the traditional cost without giving up any permanent equity or
management control."
Affordability & Service:
1. To accomplish the task of raising up to $5 million by bringing your securities offering to market at a fraction of the traditional cost we suggest a Financial Architect System™ program that fits your needs.
Full Service:
1. Need more? For those who need and can afford the combined efforts of the professionals involved with a securities offering, we give our clients Full Service with a "Cash Flow Break." As for our securities offering document (PPM) production fee, we only ask our clients to cover our initial out-of-pocket expenses. We defer the balance to the "Use of Proceeds" within the PPM, so that "investor capital" funds the balance. This ensures that both parties have a vested interest in a successful offering. When we are paid the full amount for the securities offering document production, we then make introductions to our capital sources, primarily broker dealers who will sell your company's securities for a commission. Once a sufficient amount of capital is raised, determined solely by the client, the client then pays us to do the listing of their preferred equity on a national public securities exchange. For full service see our Investment Banking Advisory Services Agreement. Through this service, we offer speed and accuracy. The range of progressive and contingent fees are customized according to the quantity of the required capital sought and the processes involved.
2. As soon as the client has built real value in their company, they often desire to monetize their success. The best way to accomplish this task is to conduct an IPO of the common equity or sell the company outright to a strategic buyer. If the client chooses this form of exit strategy, we will make introduction to a qualified broker dealer who has the fire power to get the job done. The broker dealer pays us in cash and stock as a referral fee.
