Advantages of reverse merging into public shell


It's no secret that many businesses use reverse merger as a tactic to avoid traditional IPO process. Merging into a public shell brings several advantages. During a process of reverse merger the control of public shell company is bought by the shareholders of private company, merging with it and becoming public in that way. Because public shell is already registered with Security and Exchange Commission there is no need to do it again. 

Reverse merger is considered alternative to lengthy and costly process of traditional IPO. Typically it takes 6-12 months to go public by means of initial public offering, sometimes even more than a year. Also be prepared that it is a time consuming task for your top management and they will be using less time on operating the business. With reverse merger the whole process is much quicker ranging between couple of weeks and four months while also lowering the cost of going public and diluting fewer of company's stocks.

Market conditions have less impact on the success of going public process with reverse merger while there is more risk attached to traditional IPO. If the conditions on the market are unfavorable offering can be stopped. Market situation has little effect on reverse merger  as it is more dependent on the deal between private and public company management.

The major reason why companies undergo reverse takeover is a large number of financing options open to a public corporation. Some of the possible options include secondary offering, issuing additional stock to raise extra cash;shareholders that possess warrants, that allow them to buy extra shares at a predetermined price, by utilizing that options are infusing additional capital. Being a public company brings its own benefits as greater liquidity, potential to increase value of the company, use of stock to acquire new businesses, improvement of capital market accessibility  and ability to attract and retain staff among other things.

In addition private foreign companies can use a reverse merger with a U.S. public company as an easier way to enter U.S. market.

OTC stocks more difficult to trade and deposit

  Mina Mar Group helps micro-cap companies structure their growth. Micro-capitalized companies are those with less than $50,000,000 in equity, sometimes under $1,000,000. Restructuring involves raising money (both debt and stock), and planning how they will eventually harvest that wealth. If you’re a founder or investor, the secret to harvesting your equity is to possess assets with a developed market for their sale; up until recently, that market was the public market. Now, Over-The-Counter Securities (“OTC Securities”) don’t serve that purpose since, unless you’re a tech unicorn doing an IPO, there are essentially no ways to sell the shares you’ve invested in. OTC securities – how they were deposited five years ago. Brokerages all around the country have tightened compliance over the past five years to the point where no one may deposit share certificates into their brokerage accounts, even if they can prove that they paid for them. Consider the following demand from a secondary ...

All-cash, All-stock offer

An acquisition strategy known as an “all-cash, all-stock offer” requires the buyer to commit to purchasing all of the target company’s outstanding shares for a certain amount in cash. It is also characterized as buying all of a company’s outstanding shares from its shareholders in exchange for payment. All-cash, all-stock offers are typically taken into consideration as a strategy to complete an acquisition. This could be an excellent technique the acquiring corporation might use to make the transaction appear sweet and persuade shareholders who are on the fence to accept the sale by offering a premium above the cost at which the shares are now trading. So if it’s that case, if indeed the company was purchased at a premium, then shareholders of the target company could experience an increase in the value of their shares. Even when we talk about cash deals, a stock value for the target firm is discussed, and that value may be considerably higher than its current market price. Therefore,...

How important marketing is for Regulation A?

  Regulation A+ represents the lately enacted SEC rule that amends and expands the rarely utilized Regulation A offering exemption. Regulation A+ might be viewed as an alternative to a small registered IPO and also, as a substitute or addition to other securities offering procedures that are not subject to registration under the Securities Act.  Although Regulation A+ is still quite new, it is swiftly establishing a name as the perfect spot for so many American businesses looking for capital. Reg A+, which is supported by the SEC, actually permits non-SEC reporting corporations to raise capital from public investors while also allowing (or even more motivating) the issuer to publicize their offering openly.  The opportunity to publicly market to investors has benefited greatly for numerous corporations.  This method is intended to reduce regulatory constraints by allowing companies who wouldn’t have contemplated pursuing total IPOs to get the type of financing necess...
