 Special thing about crowdfunding that not all supporters want to make a quick buck. It attracts loyal customers and patrons who want to be a part of a great idea by supporting it from the very beginning. Having people united by a belief in the same product can elicit great things in business. in order to find people that are willing to fund your project be sure to spread the word to various investors and don't be afraid to make some changes on the way to meet the demands. It is normal to see your project involve as more people get involved.

 Attracting that early contributors is important because they can help drive more people to your crowdfunding project. You can use type of reward crowdfunding where some rewards can be offered to early backers which will encourage them to inform more people about the project and in that way minimize the risk of project failing.

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.

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...
