IPO Process

Going Public — The Process

 

Road show

Our investor relations firms will arrange multiple meetings with potential investors and analysts. The road show is a formal presentation of the company’s operations, financial condition, products or services, performance, and markets. During the road show, investors and analysts will ask questions of the firm in order to determine whether or not they will invest.

Pricing and Offering Size

On the day before the registration becomes effective and sale commences the offering is priced. Mina Mar Group will recommend a price taking into account all aspects of the company including investor demand, the amount of capital required, performance, the stock price of competitive companies, the success of the road show, and general market and industry conditions. Mina Mar Group will also consult with the company regarding the size of the offering, and the desired control over the corporation.

Public Shells

Mina Mar Group has invested significant resources and capital to develop and maintain an inventory of clean public shells for a variety of stock markets and company sizes. We have done the extensive work of “cleaning” our public shells thereby reducing all associated risks. We provide these public shells to our IPO clients and we also sell our public shells to qualified and interested parties.

Benefits of reverse merging into a public shell

There are numerous benefits of merging into a public shell for the right companies. Going public with a reverse merger allows a privately held company to become publicly held while reducing costs and diluting less of its stock than with an initial public offering (IPO) without using a shell. Using a reverse merger, the IPO process is built into two steps. First, the company is merged into a shell, and then the company is taken public.

Also, depending upon the reverse merger, success is less dependent upon market conditions, and more dependent upon those controlling the public and private companies. In contrast to a straight IPO, a reverse merger is much faster. Depending upon the status of the public shell, a reverse merger may take anywhere from 30 days to 120 days.

A standard IPO can take a minimum of one year to complete while using a tremendous amount of management’s time. Of course this is costly since if management is spending time on the IPO they are not spending time running the company.

Reverse merging into a public company opens new financing options including:

  • Issuing stock in an additional secondary offering
  • Exercising warrants, where stockholders may purchase additional shares at predetermined prices
  • Increase liquidity of company stock
  • Higher company valuation since share prices may be higher
  • Using stock to acquire other companies in order to grow the business
  • Using stock incentive plans to attract and retain valuable employees
  • Overall greater access to a variety of capital markets

Private Equity

Many of our clients who wish to go public also need private equity financing along way.

Even though our IPO process only takes between four and six months, companies need operating capital in order to continue building their businesses while waiting for the various IPO processes such as the SEC, FINRA, market makers and more.

MMG can help raise private equity via a private placement memorandum (PPM) while our clients are in the IPO process. We will work with your investors to help bring in capital to fuel your business. Our team of analysts will write private placement memorandums and help you structure your company in order to raise between $1 million and $5 million via private equity.

Our clients tell us that this two-step process of raising private capital and then raising capital and public markets is a viable alternative to traditional venture and angel rounds of financing. We find that it is easier to help our clients raise private equity with an eminent IPO versus traditional angel or venture financing where liquidity may be 3 to 5 years away. If you’re interested in discussing how we can help you raise private capital while you are in the process of going public, please contact us right away.

MMG’s unique strategy ensures that our clients invest a minimal amount of time in order to complete the entire IPO process. We enable our clients to remain focused on building their existing business while the IPO process is underway.

Mina Mar Group team will help guide you through the IPO registration process and help you address the critical steps that are needed throughout the IPO — and beyond.
