Are you wondering which portions of the current stock market are the best areas of the market to place your capital into? If you are wondering which portions of the current market you should invest into, look into what is known as an IPO. An IPO is an initial public offering. An initial public offering is the first step a company must take in order to be represented on an open stock exchange. Before you can purchase an IPO though, you should perform an IPO valuation in order to guarantee you are purchasing investments that are worth your capital.

As you can see, the initial evaluation process you must perform when you are purchasing an IPO is definitely the most important action you can take when you are first investing into this realm the stock market. The first aspect you should look into as you are investing into an IPO is the amount of assets the company has within its balance sheet compared to the amount of debt the company owes.

The best situation you can find a company in is a situation where they have more assets than debt. If you can find a company that is selling to the open market with assets that are worth more than its debt, you can be certain that the company is at least stable to a degree at the current moment. If you can find a company that is selling below the value of the difference between the assets and the debt of the company, you are purchasing a dollar at the price of $. 50 due to this difference.

As you probably already know, you should also investigate a variety of other factors that can be highly relevant to the value of an IPO investment. One of the most important aspects of an IPO investment is the amount of income the company is bringing in relative to the value of any expenses it maintains. If you invest into a company that has me more expenses than income, the company is in an unstable financial situation, which is certainly an investment you should stay away from. If the company is making more than their current expenses are charging their bank accounts, they are a profitable investment.

One of the easiest ways to evaluate whether you should purchase an IPO is by analyzing the type of company the IPO represents. If you can find sufficient evidence supporting the fact that the business releasing the IPO is worth your money, consider it as an investment option. One of the easiest ways to understand the type of company that is being represented by an IPO is by analyzing the products and services the company is offering to the public.

There are other factors that occur behind the scenes that can be important to the value of an IPO. You should look into who is releasing the IPO to the public, for what reasons they selling the initial public offering to the public, and many other facts that may affect the overall value of the investment in the long-run.

If you put all of these different factors into the forefront of your thinking process as you analyze IPO investments, you will certainly be able to discern whether or not the investment you are considering is worth your current capital. If you discover that any of these factors do not provide sufficient evidence that the IPO is a valuable investment, you should consider placing your money elsewhere.

If, after you perform your IPO valuation, you discover that the company being represented by the IPO is a solid, stable, and growing company, consider it as a possible investment for expanding your portfolio.

There are many things to consider on how to IPO properly and legally. For more information about the IPO Prospectus, be sure to consult with the professionals.

There are many ways to use capital without using bank loans, lines of credit and other shady methods like shelf corps and bogus platform scams. If you are truly trying to raise capital for your company here are some simple breakdowns of your options with a quick definition for each one:

PIPE: Private Investment In Public Equity this is used primarily by mutual funds and private investment firms where they buy discount stock in order to raise capital, there are two types of PIPE’s traditional where common and preferred stock is issued at a set cap to raise money for the issuer and a structured pipe issues convertible debt.

DPO: Direct Public Offering is when you sell equity shares directly to customers, suppliers and employees.

PPM: Private Placement Memorandum is also known as an offering memorandum takes advantage of Regulation D rule exemptions 504, 505 and 506. This process came into existence with the’33 securities act and popularized in the late’80s, companies can raise money from the public via private placement; there is virtually zero interaction with the SEC after you file form d as long as you stay legal. (most popular form of fund raising).

IPO: Initial Public Offering: extremely expensive, need SOX 404 audits, must have board of directors, quarterly financial reports to shareholders, report heavily to the SEC and 1 out of every 1000 companies that want an IPO actually qualify. I love participating in these but most companies just can’t qualify for one reason or the other.

OTCBB: Over the Counter Bulletin Board is an electronic quote system that is the next best thing if you can’t go public via IPO, there is minimal red tape to start-ups and small businesses and is legitimized by the stringent ongoing reports to the SEC which keeps investor confidence high (these are extremely solid and I suggest this structure to companies when I am hired by their company or legal team as a consultant as a fast, easy way to raise big capital from the public otc)

Pink Sheet: you can look at pink sheets as the Burger King, while the OTCBB is McDonald’s, they are competing OTC mechanisms. Pinks sheets are commonly referred to as penny stock and notorious for ‘pump em’ and dump em’ controversies and a lot of crooked people are involved with this platform. This is not a long term process that will allow one’s company to grow, pink sheets companies are typically short lived but it is cheap to set up but not a professional structure that could be upgraded in time to an IPO.

Reverse Merger: a group funds the filing and creation of a public shell, they then sell that shell to a company that wants to go public, the established company merges it’s entity into the public shell. The sellers retain around 30% equity after they charge an upfront fee of 300k to 1m. 99% of reverse mergers are successful with the merger, but unsuccessful to bring them to trade and the entity basically just fizzles out.

Taking your company public is actually quite simple and inexpensive when you have the right consultant putting the structure together for you. There are countless ways to raise capital quickly and easily. It’s important that you understand your options before you waste time entering into the red tape infested banking system for a loan.
