OTC Bulletin Board - Stay Public and Profitable - OTCBB

By James Scott


IPOs and Taking Your Company Public: Why Do Public Companies Fail? There are a few things that one needs to consider when strategizing to take a business public on a major exchange: corporate structure, the speed and efficiency at which the IPO is facilitated, the market creation post public with corporate publicity strategies and investor relations, relationships to secure ongoing financing and finally strategic growth through acquisition.

The corporate structure is the foundation to the company which includes a strong 'C' level leadership boasting a pedigree of steeped experience and professional track record.

The board of directors must be seasoned and solid composed of industry specialists in the finance, advisory, legal and distribution sectors of the industry and finally the corporations strategic alliances must be in place and strong to pad the business model and help the company grow.

The speed at which the company achieves a trading symbol is important not only to the company but the seed capital investors who want a rapid turnaround on their investment. The audit, SEC filing, 15c11 and FINRA approval need to be orchestrated by experts to complete this task in a timely manner or this process can crush your company as opposed to enhancing it.

Now that you have your trading symbol you need to create the market. Don't count on your market maker or broker dealer to do this as they are simply a vessel to complete trades and vouch for your company on the securities level. You need powerful investor relations (IR) and corporate publicity. You should also consider publicity strategies for your 'C' level executives to brand them as industry experts to add legitimacy and strength to your presence and market position.

Don't forget PIPES and other post public securities monetization solutions. These companies can offer a lifeline if you're company is seeking expansion or acquisition capital. Make sure you get references! The last thing you want is a PIPE firm that gives you a 60% LTV (or less) against your stock and then crucifies your company by dumping the stock, ouch!

If your company is in the correct phase of evolution, growing and ready for that next level, think: OTCBB. It's fast and relatively affordable and if you're corporate strategies are in place you could rake in some serious capital fast for your corporate expansion.

How To Go Public - Corporate Strategies Consultant Tells How To Gain Power

By James Scott


Corporate strategies and political strategies are similar in many ways and merge in many more as the ultimate goal is recognition for a contribution to economic growth as this is the one power tool that transcends all other contributors to power. The entity recognized for delivering on promises of jobs, capital to a targeted geography or economic certainty is the one that will gain traction regardless of current economic disaster going on around them.

To do this, to be the person that gains a following for their ability to step into a position of power and swim in shallow shark infested waters one must consider the fact that you will be attacked from all angles and your ability to eliminate the factors that are conducive to facilitating these attacks is crucial but do to so and make a massive statement is where the natural genius comes into play. Fact: the most sensitive part of the shark's anatomy is it's eyes, surfers and divers that can stay calm when a shark is circling before an attach will immediately go for the eyes of the shark, kick, punch and shred with the fingernails, diver's knife, whatever they have. This is what the reader must consider when diving into a realm as competitive as obtaining the power in a general corporate or political 'power grab'.

Don't waste time on areas of the competitor that won't have a disastrous affect immediately, a punch to the tail of fin won't do anything is a shark attach, rip out the eyes and pummel the eye sockets and even if they keep coming they'll be blind to your position which eliminates their position as a threat.

Know your competition, study them, identify their past affiliates and find out what they were like in the past, dig up dirt but don't address them directly as this will make it too clear as to where the negative press is coming from, instead use a cat's paw, third party to deliver the bad news. This third party should be completely none affiliated with you or your company and the information should be issued to them by a non affiliated messenger.

Find out where they sensitive points on the 'mark' reside. Is it voting record? Pump and Dump schemes with other public companies? Is it a politician without a pedigree making them a lap dog to the established politicians who just use them as a vote? Who are they taking campaign money from? Who has the CEO elected as CFO or CFO and is there a blatant demonstration of misjudgment etc.?

The obligatory power grab is like offering an ice cold bottle of water to a group of 100 lost trekkers in the desert, they will use every advantage and fight as dirty as they have to in order to achieve ownership of this prized item.

Don't bring a slinky to a fist fight, bring a steel pipe, don't go to war with paper planes and silly putty, use remote controlled drones that will be able to inflict massive damage from afar. Don't enter into a political or power grab without the right support and names backing you or it will be disastrous.
