Why Go Public?
Why Go Public? By William Cate Published September 1999 [http://home.earthlink.net/~beowulfinvestments/] Or, visit the Global Village Investment Club Website: [http://home.earthlink.net/~beowulfinvestments/globalvillageinvestmentclubwelcome/]
It costs money. It takes time. If you try to do an IPO, your odds of completing it are about even. If you do the average IPO on the OTCBB, your million dollar costs will exceed the money you can raise. If you go public you have to battle market manipulations. You must avoid the Vulture Capitalists that will destroy you. Public company survival risks can be greater than for a private company. If your company is a stock scam, you run the risk of facing criminal charges. The downside to being a public company appears to argue against taking the public path.
There are three primary reasons that require you to take your company public: 1. Without liquidity, investors won't risk their money on your company. If they can't sell stock, they won't invest in your company. The ONLY way to offer investors the ability to sell your stock is to take your company public. 2. Stock is money. You can use your strong share price to acquire cash-producing assets for your company. This means you can grow a hundred million dollar company in less than five years rather than more than twenty years. 3. When you sell, you'll get twenty times more money for your public company than you would for your private company. Public companies sell at Market Capitalization. This is share price times issued shares. Private companies sell for between 80% and 150% of their pretax profit. Crunch the numbers and you will ALWAYS get a bigger "Golden Parachute" owning a public company.
You can solve the serious
problems created by taking the public company path. 1. You can cut your costs of going public by 75% to 90% by doing a spinoff, rather than an IPO. 2. You can keep your stock away from the Depository Trust Company. Without "Street Stock," it's nearly impossible for anyone to manipulate your share price against the best interests of your shareholders. There are a score of tactics that you can use to stop stock manipulation. 3. You can stop the Vulture Capitalists by requiring them to pay for the stock they take. You should ensure that their payment is a multi-dollar share price and never pennies. You can force them to sell their stock outside the United States. 4. Your insiders can avoid being caught in a stock scam by not selling their insider shares. You should Pool & Vault all the insider shares until you can sell your company at Market Capitalization. Your insiders will get the highest price for their stock. Your Investor Relations costs will be lower during the public life of your company.
Are you serious about making your company a success? You must offer a product or service to the World. You must build your assets over a hundred million dollars. You must go public! You don't have a choice.
