So, your company is ready for that next step and you’ve decided to take the dive into the world of public offerings and global fund raising. You imagine investors waiting with bated breath for your company to announce it’s share price and release shares for purchase. You’re imagining swarms of broker dealers clambering and falling all over themselves to promote your stock to their massive investor database while you sit back and fill your company’s coffers with millions in capital that will launch your corporation into the realm of superstardom and hemorrhaging expansion. You start to search the internet and come across ad after ad that promotes the idea that you could save $100,000’s if you buy a public shell and reverse merge your company with it, saving you time and money, resulting in achieving a public structure in only a few weeks. Buyer beware!

Reverse mergers into public shell companies is a process that rarely works and if, by some act of God, it is successful you still have countless issues to deal with that could crush your ability to succeed in an instant. Companies that sell shell companies and facilitate public offerings via reverse merger often have many fleas attached to the structure such as the fact that they retain 10% to 25%+ of the company’s shares that they can pump and dump anytime, resulting in a black eye to investors who see your stock plummet, resulting in almost certain bankruptcy and company failure.

Another prominent issue with this type of transaction is that usually the shell company has a complicated history of litigation and liens that you absorb when you merge and if this is the case you’ll spend all your time in ongoing legal battles as your company bankroll is spent on righting the wrongs of the previous owners. We could go on for days about the downside of reverse mergers into public shells but the moral of this story is, ‘do your homework’.

If you are trying to take your startup or small business public, take the extra steps (you’ll actually save money) and look into OTCBB, a legitimate, quick and long lasting way to take your company public without the drawbacks and definite complications of reverse mergers. You can take your company public via OTCBB for less than $100k and there are usually several ways to finance this process so you have minimal out of pocket expense.

Going public is easy when you team up with the right consultants that will help you bypass the dead ends and concepts that will take up your time and cripple your resources.

A business that is trying to raise awareness of a particular brand or product must first realize the cynical mind of today’s buyer.

Before a business owner can prompt a potential client to buy, you must first create company legitimacy. Legitimacy can be induced by using online methods such as web commercial uploads to video hosting sites, helpful article submissions, social and news bookmarking that answers questions for potential customers as well as video and audio pod-casting.

These methods should assist the potential client by answering their questions and informing them of their options as opposed to a ringing sales pitch.

Using this method you won’t have to be concerned about the crippling maintenance of having to satisfy the inappropriate demands of an uninformed client.

Inform the people searching for your services before trying to hit them with your sales pitch, you’ll find that the sales process is more streamlined and your customer satisfaction will shoot through the roof. There is no other sales or branding method more powerful than this.
