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 ...

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...
