Why are roadshows important for your business?


Is there better way to communicate with your clients and investors than face to face? If you think there isn't than road show might be the answer you were looking for. What are they and why are they so important? Roadshow is series of meetings where representatives of the company give a  presentation about investment opportunity to current and potential investors.

Companies have variety of reasons why they conduct road shows. The most common reason for organizing a road show is an initial public offering (IPO), a process when previously private company offers its shares to be publicly traded on stock exchange. Other reasons for a road show include privatization of a government owned company or when a company is when a company makes secondary offering of shares in order to raise more money.  A non deal roadshow (NDR) occurs when executives hold discussion with current and potential investors without offering securities for sale. Main reason for NDR is providing investors with information about the business.

Company's top management or its underwriters travel across different regions and cities in order to meet with the potential investors, financial analysts, fund managers and brokers and offer the securities for sale. The main purpose of a roadshow is to generate interest and excitement. It is critical part of an IPO process because it enables the issuer to generate favorable opinions and successfully close the offer. Road shows demand a lot of planning, all meeting have to find the location, schedule meetings in advance fitting them in a set time frame.

The most important part of a road show is content. Besides multimedia presentation, event includes question and answer (QA) sessions. Roadshow presentation can be shared online on various platforms and reach wider audience. Topic discussed on the meeting include company's history, reasons for going public, financial outlook and potential for growth. Road show is a great opportunity to see how much potential investors are willing to pay. After the road show final prospectus is created and filed with SEC.

Direct communication offers unique opportunity to address every aspect of the business, especially in QA sessions where offering can be exposed to skepticism. But on the other hand there is big chance that with careful planning and impeccable presentation you can leave good impression. This way you will be able to reach investors they you won't be able to reach otherwise. You are there with people that came because they want to learn more, you don't have to fight for a conversation so use your chance and attract hundreds of prospective buyers.

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 ...

Our perspective on reverse merger

When we are talking about market perspective usually the financial community is mostly focused on private companies that want to go public and are prepared to pay for the privilege of going through an IPO or reverse merger. That is why most financial consultants are looking for the public shell company just to close the deal. Often private companies that use reverse merger to go public are ill-informed on ability to raise funds, unprepared for the intensive effort and extensive costs to create liquidity. This can even lead company to become a shell itself due to lack of action in implementation of needed solutions. This way there is no long term benefit on both sides. Mina Mar Group sees things quite differently. Instead of making quick profit shared between shell owner and us. We deal with private companies that already offer profits  and that truly deserve to be publicly traded and can attract investors at the retail and institutional level and build...
