Where Are All The Investor Finder Services?

Where Are All The Good Investor Finder Services? Companies raising capital whether trying to get a loan, raise equity capital with a private placement memorandum or go public on the Pink Sheets, OTCBB or any other platform has no doubt been told to find a good investor finder. Sure there are multitudes of membership databases like ‘Angel Funding Project’, one of the industry’s largest and many others but where are the ‘investor finders’ that everyone’s CPA and CFO are talking about?

I’ll tell you where, they’ve discovered how valuable their portfolio of active investors actually is and they’ve teamed up with consultants that take companies public and they provide the 40 initial investors needed to qualify for a public offering and they also help supply the capital that the consultants need in order to facilitate the ‘going public’ process. They have gone from making $2,000 here and $10,000 there, to making $100,000 here and $500,000 there by getting involved in the ultra lucrative world of pre-IPO finance and technical facilitation.

They are going from the headaches of trying to get investors interested in placing money with a goofball who doesn’t think he needs a business plan or PPM to raise capital to getting the red carpet rolled out for them at every term by investment bankers, global broker dealers and companies that desperately want to go public but are working with minimal liquidity.

Quality investor finders are becoming more and more valuable as the economy declines in some regions and remains stagnant in others. Good investor finders no longer sell their services, instead clients and strategic partners must sell them on why they should break open their contact base on their behalf. As the global economy changes, new opportunities are popping up everywhere. Investor finders are being heavily lobbied by Chinese and Indian companies who want to merge their foreign corporation with a public American entity.

Any solid consulting firm can take a company public but few have the contacts to be truly considered full service. If you are interested in taking your company public and have a solid business model, find an IR consultant and sell them on your corporate strategy and if they take you on you’ll be raising capital with lightning speed.

Angel Investors: Up To 300%+ Returns With Pre Public Companies!

Stock investors will typically go with whatever stock play their broker recommends. You’re banking on the broker to know what they are doing so you don’t have to spend all day and all night draped over charts, statistics a buffet of TUMS.

Your broker will most likely pitch you the stock that his or her boss has pressured them into promoting in this morning’s meeting and unless all the stock pushers cooperate with a collective effort, they will not achieve the desired result of the stock price jump that will yield a modest profit.

Traders with a conscience find it hard to work under this type of pressure that places them in the gray area of securities ethics. As an investor, you need to stop and observe the obvious, it’s your money and to make more money you simply need to take the initiative to diversify your investment portfolio. Every investment portfolio boasts the same prototypical elements: stocks, FOREX, IRA, bank savings all seasoned with modest microcap investments. A small minority of ‘in the know’ investors have a secret weapon.

Some investors have stepped outside the clichs of investing with the masses and sought out the diamond in the rough, the mother of all investments and that investment is ’seed’ capital in pre-public companies. I’m not talking about pump it and dump it Pink Sheet garbage but I mean the home of the prosperous, land of the lucrative OTCBB market.

These affordable and powerful stocks should exist in every portfolio but buying discount stock as an initial investor in a pre public company that is in the process of qualifying with the one SEC guideline that has made some modestly wealthy people, extremely wealthy and that qualification is that in order for a company to go public they must have a minimum of 40 seed investors whether they need the capital or not.

Being one of the 40 investors in a promising, cutting edge pre public company can, many times, mean that your small initial investment can increase by 200%+ in an extremely short time. Seek out the ultra-lucrative pre public companies and watch your net worth skyrocket!

Hit it Out of the Park with Yankee Checks

Are you a New York Yankees fan? Are your bank checks dull and uninspiring? If you answered “yes” then why don’t you give New York Yankees checks a try?

Based in the Bronx in New York City, the New York Yankees were founded in 1901. However, they didn’t acquire their present day name until 1913.

The Yankees play their home game in Yankee Stadium which is almost one of the most famous sports areas in the country. In 2009 they got a new stadium, but it is also called Yankee Stadium.

A lot of very famous baseball players came out of the Yankees. Such players as Babe Ruth, Mickey Mantle, Jo DiMaggio, Lou Gherig, and Yogi Berra all played for the Yankees at one time. These guys aren’t just big in baseball, but they have become all around sports legends in general.

In 39 appearances, the Yankees have won an impressive 26 World Series. They have also played in the World Series against all of the National League pennant winners except the Houston Astros and the Colorado Rockies, something that no other team is even close to coming to. In 2008, the Yankees had an unprecedented regular season winning percentage of the best of any team in baseball.

A number of the most dedicated fans in baseball are Yankee devotees. The first one-million fan season was in 1920, when 1,289,422 fans went to Yankee games at the Polo Grounds. 2,265,512 fans went to games at Yankee Stadium in 1946 Yankees have pulled in over 3 million fans every year for the past 7 years. In 2005 a record-setting attendance was made with 4,090,696 making it become only the 3rd franchise in sports history to bring in over 4 million people to their own stadium.

The good news is, you don’t have to book it to New York to show your loyalty and dedication. When you purchase the checks, you can show off your team pride every time you pull out your checkbook.

The New York Yankees check design shows the official Yankees emblem in the middle of the check itself. The background features the image of a baseball diamond with the official gray and blue colors represented.

If you would like a matching checkbook to go along with your new checks, there are also a couple of designs available as well to choose from.

While it was expensive and time consuming to go to your local bank in the past and sift through a limited amount of check designs, you can now save that hassle and order your checks online. If you use a reputed website you can even save up to 50% off of what you might have paid in the past at your bank as well.

An additional enticement to buying them online is that you have a better supply of designs. There are virtually hundreds of choices so you shouldn’t have to pick something cheap and plain.

You might have had to wait up to 2 weeks in the past when you ordered them at the bank. When you order online, however, they can arrive to you in about 5 days. That is a lot more convenient.

Before you order Yankees checks, go to YankeesChecks.com to get coupon codes and to save up to 50% off your next purchase of Yankees personal checks.

Take Your Company Public: It’s Cheaper With The Right Partners. A Must Read!

Many companies have a unique service or product but either lacks the capital or know-how to go public. Going public slams open the doors to massive global capital possibilities and massive partnering and strategic growth capabilities. A financially broke company should never try to go public to raise money to stay afloat as you’ll only attract the fee based predatory consultants who make their money on individual fee oriented services without the ability to bring it all together in a turn-key solution so in the end there is no accountability.

The prototypical company that will succeed in going public is either a profitable and mature company or a start-up with contracts in place for capitalization and patented and/or proprietary technology or systems that give it a massive edge over competitors. The decision to go public should be based in the desire for rapid growth and capitalization. The qualities of a company that will succeed on the public forum is one with a solid executive staff, experienced board of directors and a service that is recession proof (Yeah I know, what business is recession proof?), and finished with the actual developmental stage with a solid product or service and identified partners and distribution sources.

If you realistically have a chance at going and staying public you’ll attract consulting firms and/or broker dealers and market makers and many times law firms that focus on taking companies public in return for minor upfront fees and a solid equity position. Be careful not to sign on with a company that does not offer a ‘one stop shop’ or turn-key solutions which includes everything if you are going to be paying an upfront fee and equity. Many solid firms will ask for both fee and equity compensation and it’s worth it if they are truly capable of delivering a full range of services.

You should have a polite yet rigorous interview process with the firm before signing on. The ideal situation for a company going public is to partner with a consulting firm or broker dealer who offers absolutely everything you will need to succeed in the pre-IPO and post-IPO market. Expect to pay a fee for corporate structuring, business plan, private placement memorandum and Direct Public Offering to the firms database of investors (if they do not offer an introduction service to investors you should not take them seriously as a full service consulting firm as they are only offering you a sandwich without the bread).

Parts that a consulting firm will partner on if they can truly take your company public from A to Z is the initial Direct Public Offering to an in house group of investors who will invest the capital needed to pay for the audit (though many times this will have to come out of your pocket even if you team of with the best firms in the business), S1 filing and comments, SEC and FINRA approval and ultimately to the point where a market maker or broker dealer is selling your securities to the public. Sometimes it’s good to just hire a company that is strictly fee based for your ‘going public’ ambitions but be prepared to pay hefty fees. If you are a solid corporation with a realistic chance at going public, you’ll be able to tell by the tone that consulting firms have with you when you engage them in the initial phone consultation. If you’re ready to go public, a proper consultant will be able to identify your position in the market place to fill in the blanks.

How To Take A Chinese or Indian Company Public In The USA

With global economics the way they are it would be redundant to rant and rave about the downsides of corporate fund-raising. Quick infusions of cash from venture capital firms and institutional lenders are on hold and it is what it is but companies are becoming creative and corporate attention is steering away from the problems and toward the solutions.

The US and Chinese markets are intertwined in many ways and now a new trend in finance is making the relationship even closer. It’s a fact that Chinese corporations are still trying to figure out how to make their domestic stock market profitable and stable. Many of these companies have global ambitions with unique technology solutions business products and strategies but because of the week Chinese economy (compared to the power of other currencies) they have no choice but to head to the Frankfurt Exchange or the OTCBB market here in the United States.

As a corporate consultant that facilitates the process of going public for both domestic and global entities I have received maybe 5 to 10 calls per year from Chinese companies wanting to set up American corporate subsidiaries to absorb their foreign corporations and trade on the Bulletin Boards but all that has changed. I now receive 5 to 10 calls from Chinese and Indian companies per week to take advantage of the global market place that centers around America’s gravitational pull.

Here is how you can take your foreign entity public: set up a domestic corporation (I usually have corporations set up in Delaware because its fast, easy and the states statutes go back to the original 13 colonies so there is sufficient case law and precedence to protect a public entity affectively). Next you will need a professionally written business plan in English. Translated business plans don’t work as Western investors look for different details in transactions than their Asian counterparts. Write a new business plan based off of this new corporate entity.

After this you will use the Regulation D Rule 504 exemption to offer discounted stock to a core group of investors via DPO (direct public offering) we have spent 11 years putting our core group of investors together that can finance around 80% of the public process so it becomes extremely reasonably priced for foreign companies. Then the S1 is put together while simultaneously their SEC audit begins which is simple and fast because the company in the US is a startup. We go through and get the SEC approval, then FINRA and then the market maker that we have attached to the deal goes to work.

Now here is the kicker. If you have any experience with taking companies public you’ll see one common thread throughout all the companies that you work with and that is the fact that the company executives who started this company and are more than likely the majority share holders, want to retain as much equity as possible so this is simple. When the company is publicly trading, limit the issuance of stock specifically to your original core group and let the stock price stabilize then you simply take some of the company owned shares and use them as collateral for equity loans and lines of credit.

Once you’re public the last thing you want to do is liquidate shares to raise capital quickly. Instead, use your shares as collateralized bartering chips and you’ll never have a problem with cash flow or fund raising or the threat of losing control of your company. Foreign companies that want to go public in the United States are often intimidated by the strenuous process and the concern of ‘who to trust’. Find a consulting firm with experience in turnkey ‘go public’ facilitation and you’ll be fine.

How To Get Cheaper Credit Card Interest Rates

Credit cards enable us to do many things that we wouldn’t normally be able to do. You can buy that new plasma screen or go on an overseas trip, and pay it off in monthly. You may not know it but you can get competitive credit card interest rates. This would reduce your monthly payments as well as your principal balance.

Credit card companies are showing more flexibility and many are willing to negotiate interest rates with their clients. If you have been a client with a certain credit company for a few years, you are in a strong position to apply some pressure to secure a better interest rate. Contact a senior official and suggest that you are eligible for a better deal.

Tell this person that you have received numerous tempting offers from other credit companies offering a cheaper rate. They certainly won’t fob you off, especially if you have a good track record. Remember, your credit company or bank does not want to lose you as a client.

Be persistent. If you are not successful with your first attempt, keep at it. Don’t be scared to use a slightly threatening tone. Tell them outright that you are seriously considering accepting another offer. If necessary, take the matter up with someone in a higher position.

If the company is not prepared to budge, despite your numerous requests, then it’s time to move on and find another credit company. You can get a good idea online of what’s on offer. Make direct contact with some of the companies and tell them that you’re looking for a better credit interest rate. Be truthful about why you want to change companies.

Competition is rife in the credit world, and companies will clamor for your business. Take your time and listen to the various offers. Then make an informed decision about which company to use.

Before you apply for credit cards, make sure you compare credit cards to get the best deal.

What Is Flipping Real Estate?

Flipping real estate–or just ‘flipping’–is a process many people have found to be quite lucrative. Simply speaking, it is when someone takes a house or property at a low price and either waits for the market to get better before they resell it or they fix it up and resell it. Flipping can be extremely risky and much like the stock market. It is also a great deal of work which some people find that they love.

This is the perfect career for people who would spend all of their free time remodeling their own homes. For someone who loves design, architecture, and can follow the real estate market, there should be no reason why this could not be a successful venture for you. It does require, though, that you have a bit of money already put aside in order that you may buy the property in the first place.

You should buy the property under the right conditions, too, meaning that the market is low and the current owners are willing to sell it for perhaps less than it is worth. You want to buy during the lowest possible market and sell it when things have returned to a high market. You must watch carefully for any indicators of change. You also need to know a great deal about houses–mostly if a house is even worth fixing up.

Many house flippers are improving on the fortune they already have. There is a logical reason for this: you need to have enough money already in case the house does not sell immediately. If it does not, then you will have to keep paying for it in terms of taxes and upkeep. This is not the type of project to take on if you are desperate for cash. It requires a lot of money put into it to get more money in return.

The job can be very rewarding, though, and one does have the ability to make a truly great profit if things are done right. It is nice to see things come together piece by piece, floors stripped, wallpaper put up, wiring, plumbing, and heat all working, and the numerous tiny little details that make a house a home. You must know houses inside and out for this to work. If you over-look something important it could be a major headache and a major profit loss.

There are other types of flipping, too. These mainly concern the ‘not for profit’ flippers who will fix up occupied and/or abandoned houses in a town. Charitable groups can do it and towns or cities may also use some of their money for this purpose. By doing so they make the area less likely to have crime and raise the property value.

This is good because people’s houses and quality of life can drastically improve. The houses will also have fewer problems in the future if they are all taken care of at once. It can really remedy houses that were built incorrectly. The only problem with raising the property value of an area is that the people who live there may no longer be able to fully afford it.
