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.

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 necessary to fuel their g
