Some Information Which Aid You To Know Can A Small Business Go Public?
I find it to be a common belief in the small business community that small businesses can't go public until they have noteworthy revenues, say something on the order of $10 to $20 million per year.
This is completely false.
I have been taking Small Businesses and Introduced companies public as a consultant above 15 years now. And for 15 years I have been repeatedly asked in various ways " Can a small business like ours raise capital by going public? We just have a million dollars in revenue. Aren't we very small?"
The reply has been and still is "Yes, you can go public. And no, you are not very small."
What is very small?
Well actually nothing. A company who is bringing in one million in revenues would be no problem to take public. But it is in fact not regarding your revenues, it is regarding your business plan. If you are working on a development stage business plan and you are achieving success, then we can possibly take you public with that alone. If you are making five, ten or twenty thousand a month that is helpful as it just indicates that you are implementing on your business plan.
It has become tougher and tougher to take a company public with no revenue and no business maneuver since the SEC and FINRA are rightfully trying to eliminate micro cap fraud, but yes it can still be accomplished. If you have no revenues, although, you will need to have patience, some money in the bank to guarantee you can live for some years, and you will have to be making genuine progress on your business plan to show the powers that be that you are a "real" company and not just a "sham" set up for micro-cap fraud.
If you are a small business and you don't think to be mom-and-pop always, then "Going Public" is something you must look into in the quite early stages. "Public" money is generally a lot cheaper than "private" money.
I have seen private companies who feel they are too small to "go public" give up half of their company for a small six figure investment. At times companies with revenues in the millions feel they are very small and taking the business capital route they raise ten or twenty million but finish with merely five to six percent of the company in a few years.
This kind of dilution is totally unnecessary. The similar amount of money can be increased by going public while maintaining 60-65% ownership
Obviously there are drawbacks to going public early too, but most of those have to do with being preyed upon by non-professionals, fraudsters, and others who really don't know what they are doing. If you look into your advisers and get suggestion and structuring and referrals from experts who know what they are doing, you can eliminate most of the downside of going public early.
And if you feel you are probably the next EBay or Google or Microsoft kind of company, going public early on without venture capitalist could be worth billions and billions of dollars.
Bill Gates only owns about fourteen percent of Microsoft. Imagine how rich he would be if he owned sixty percent!
Now after the "Can I truly go public?" sort of queries the next set of questions I usually get are "How do I raise capital when I go public? Do I do a merger reverse? " or " I see ads that say - Purchase reverse merger shell - must I do that? " But those are questions for another article. Stay Tuned.
