Start-Up and Pre-Revenue Financing

We have a few funds and Investment Banks that will consider start-ups and pre-revenue companies. However, these are tough deals usually requiring at the very least management that has proven to be very successful in the past. And even then it is hard. We do have some offshore funds however that will consider a start-up pre-revenue company that can prove it will have sufficient profit to start repaying a loan within 24 months of funding. Obviously having contracts or LOI’s in place would be a form of proof.
However, there is another way. 


Acquisition finance is hot right now and we have developed several Broker Dealer, Investment Bank clients and funds that provide up to 100% of the acquisition costs.  


We are looking at 5-10 year terms and interest rates from 3% – 8%.
For those of you with start ups and pre-revenue companies that want to raise money, we now suggest you find an acquisition target, let us get you the funds to buy the acquisition and then after it is completed and you are a positive EBITDA company we can take you to a broker dealer to raise money for your overall company. Your acquisition target should seamlessly integrate with your overall business plan so that you are not thrown off your main purpose line.

Now is the time to do your roll-ups and acquisitions with EBITDA. In all cases EBITDA must be more than sufficient to cover loan payments. We suggest no more than 50% EBITDA is used to cover loan payments. 


Many of our sources will let a public company or a company going public use stock as part of the payment. This is important if you don’t qualify for 100% financing as you will be able to use stock for the “cash” part of the required down payment in a 20% or 10% down situation.


All of our sources are different. Some will look at your FICO and others only look at your EBITDA and management being adequate to insure payments will be made. Some require collateral and personal guarantees, some do not. Some situations will require that your company is going public or already public and some will allow you to remain private.


Do you have a  deal that would qualify?   Please let’s start with a few paragraphs teaser summarizing the salient points. This is very important. Let me know if you have anything.

Credit Arbitrage – Put Your Credit To Work Earning Money for You.

We have a new “wrinkle” On “Lending Money To Public Companies for Extraordinary Returns”

If you have good credit we can possibly qualify you for a loan for $125k – $300k to take a company public. The loan will be at an arbitrage amount (in other words the interest you charge the public company will be higher than the interest you are paying.) Two to Three years of payments will be pre-paid, and of course the loan will be collateralized.

Interested? Contact us.

Bridge Financing

We have Bridge financing available for companies going public through our services.

Requires  minimum of $2,500,000+ in gross revenues and can get 10% of revenues as a financing up to $5,000,000. Fast funding. Can usually be done within 7 days.

HIGHLIGHTS:
–          100% unsecured
–          Investment size is 10% of annualized revenues
–          Check size: 250K to 5mm 
–          No perfected security interest at closing, we reserve the right to file a UCC only in an event of a default
–          No equity, no warrants, no converts, no stock, 100% non-dilutive
–          Cost of capital: factor rate between 1.15-1.35
–          Expected Remittance: 3 to 12 months
–          Remittance: straight-line weekly
–          Prepayment discount: in the first 1/3rd of our term, the factor rate is cut in half if we are taken out early—therefore, on a 100% unsecured basis with no dilution, the cost of capital is in the high teens
–          Out of pocket expenses: none
–          Legal fees: none
–          Time to close; less than a week
–          This is not a loan; therefore, this is no obligation of repayment. We will never take more than 15% of the total revenues in any given month. If sales decrease from the time in which we invest, the company can request a step down in remittance payments, which will in turn, extend the term
–          Because all our deals are unsecured, and mature in less than a year, clients can book our capital as an account payable. If companies already have senior debt, we can make an investment without tripping any of their covenants. Most senior debt facilities do not limit the amount of AP a company can have on the balance sheet.

Our Broker Dealer Clients Looking to Fund $10m – $100m+ Quality Deals – Public or Private

We have several Broker Dealer clients who are looking for quality deals to fund in the $10,000,000 minimum to $100,000,000+ maximum range. Can be an existing public or private company.  Most importantly they all like and will fund with our proprietary anti-dilutive structuring.  (You can raise up to $200m with our anti-dilutive structures and still own 85% of your company – compare that to venture/private equity capital!)
 
Do you have a quality deal? Our network of Broker Dealers covers all sectors of business so any quality deal will be considered.
 
Please let’s start with a few paragraphs teaser summarizing the salient points. This is very important.
 
Our broker dealers get hundreds of submittals a day and won’t click on links or open 30 page business plans to figure out a company. If people won’t present the information in the way they want it, they simply won’t read it. They must first get a short summary they can read quickly and if interested, they will then click on links etc. to read more.
 
A short summary should state most relevant details such as:
   Current Income and EBITDA
       (If no income project will only be considered if top proven management)
   Short Business summary.
   Projections summary.
   How much Needed for what purpose.
 
An example would be:
 
“ABC co. is a blockchain entertainment company with a new way to revolutionize payments in the music industry. They are currently a private company but willing to go public as part of funding. Current income is $500,000 USD per month ($3,000,000 income during 2018) with projections (if they receive $10,000,000 capital injection) to hit $10,000,000 in 2019, $20,000,000 in 2020 and $40,000,000 in 2021.
 
They seek a $10,000,000 investment. $2,000,000 to build out the rest of their blockchain technology and $8,000,000 for marketing over the next 3 years.”
 
This is what is needed and if you do not supply this, the information will not be passed to the broker dealer as it makes us look bad. If we feel our BrokerDealers would be interested in your project will will send it on. The next step would be an executive summary. If they are still interested, we can then proceed to a full business plan. (If you supply the above short summary you may also attach executive summary (one pager) and business plan so they have all the information to inspect if they are interested.
 
If you send us a full business plan upfront with a lazy request to find the executive summary within the business plan or links to SEC filings, etc. without stepping through the above, they won’t read it.
 

Let us know if you have anything.

The Myth of “You Are Too Small to Go Public”

Let’s begin by saying you are never too small to go public. Period.

This is a myth that got started with the top tier investment banks who tell a client who has either no income or $500,000 a year or even $50,000,000 a year that “you are too small to go public.”

The problem is the top tier investment bank doesn’t really tell them why “they are too small” or that they can go public anyway with another investment bank that deals with smaller companies, or that it is in their best interest to go public as fast as possible.

The truth is I have taken dozens of companies public with little or no income. I have taken startups and developing companies that were losing money every month public.

The Why

I had a client once whose next-door neighbor was a vice president at one of the top tier investment banks. Well after talking to me he went and asked his neighbor if he should go public and of course, his neighbor said, “You are too small.” It was a startup computer company.

Well my client relayed this to me, and I simply said, “Put your neighbor on the phone with me.” And he did. And of course, his neighbor dodged almost every question and hemmed and hawed when not dodging, while I simply cornered him in, one lie after another, with a simple question, “How is this NOT in my client’s, and your friend’s best interest to go public right now?”

Finally, after about 30 minutes of dodging, out of frustration, he blurted out the absolute truth. “Don’t you realize that I can’t raise $1,000,000 for someone like this? I have over 10,000 brokers that all have to participate in an offering. We need to raise at least $100,000,000 dollars in order to take someone public. Or I will have 10,000 brokers mad at me!” “Oh”, I said politely, “So it is not that he is too small to go public, he is just too small to go public with your company.”

“Yes!”, he said. And I said, “So you would agree then that it is in your neighbor’s and my client’s best interest to go public now with me?” “Yes, of course,” he said, as if he had been advising that all along. And the neighbor/client of mine with the startup computer company did and was a public company three months later.

Why Is It In Your Best Interest?

Raise Capital

Going public, though most people look at it as a way to raise money, is actually a leverage tool that helps you make money. For example, do you have any friends who ever raised $15 million in three finance rounds from venture capitalists? How much ownership are they left with? Ask around if you don’t know. But it is typically, 12-15%.  When you go public you could raise $15 million or more and still own 80% of your company. That’s leverage. Why wait to go public and give away 85% of your company and then go public. Top tier investment banks would rather refer you to their venture capital division and help you grow your company with small raises while obtaining 85% ownership of your company and THEN take you public. See the advantage to them?

Go public from day one and you can raise the same money and keep a way larger ownership in your company. Advantage to you.

Some of the other leverage abilities that will help you grow your young public company faster and bigger than a non-public company are:

  • Grow your company faster and make it more powerful by attracting top personnel without necessarily huge cash outlays.
  • Grow your company faster and make it more powerful by attracting top notch team members to your board of directors.
  • Raise money faster and cheaper by increasing the “liquidity” factor for your investors.
  • Grow your company faster and make it more powerful by increasing your ability to attract “mergers”, “acquisitions” and “strategic partners”.
  • Grow your company faster and make it more powerful by increasing its ability to compete for large corporate contracts.
  • Leverage your personal return on investment as an owner by decreasing the amount of time it will take you to make money on your investment, as well as increasing the valuation of your company, as well as, changing the liquidity of your asset to a much more liquid form than that of a private company.
  • Grow your business faster and make it more powerful by increasing your status in the eyes of all those you do business with.

And growing your company is not the only leverage. If you are an existing profitable yet small company, some of the leverage points are:

  • Increase the value of your company upon sale or exit strategy. Many public companies achieve valuations that are three, ten or even one hundred times or more the valuations of similar private companies with the same income and assets.
  • Want to retire? Well, why sell your company for $5 million with 20% down and a note for the rest while someone then proceeds to destroy your company and give you back an empty shell? Take your company public, install professional management (there is your “retirement”), sell a piece of your now more highly valued company to get your entire $5 million, and still own 60% of the company. Now you can retire, get $5 million, and still control the company from the board of directors while still reaping dividends from operations in your retirement.
  • Solve dozens of estate planning problems by simply taking your company public. Don’t want your lifelong project to be destroyed by greedy heirs? Take your company public and bequeath stock interests to your heirs. That way anyone who wants out can sell their shares rather than force a liquidation or sale of your company.
  • And if you don’t feel like selling or retiring yet. Simply grow your company faster and bigger with all of the leverage points in the first section above.

You see despite the lies that Wall Street top tier firms and personnel might tell you, it is ALWAYS in your best interest to go public NOW…provided of course you do it right. That’s where we come in….to help you do it right.

ICOs – Where the Money IS in 2018

Follow the money….
As you know, we have been taking companies public in the US and internationally for years.
 
In 2012 we told you Germany “is where the money is”….
 
But in 2018, if you need $2 million to $10 million (or even more) and you need it fast… Initial Coin Offerings along with smart contracts and block chain solutions are where the money is. 
 
Take a look at the market caps and 24 hr trading volumes:
https://coinmarketcap.com/all/views/all/.
ICOs are the new big thing, and we have our US and international teams to provide one stop delivery of all components of ICO – from development through marketing. Our teams can deliver US as well as a variety of offerings in International countries. Our top tier teams have developed and marketed offerings in the hundreds of millions.

All our teams deliver fully compliant ICOs according to US or any local and any international laws that apply. We are a senior consultant and assemble and supervise the legal and tech delivery teams.

Don’t have any idea of what CryptoCoins, Smart Contracts and Blockchain have to offer and how you can incorporate their unique features into your business solution? Then begin by reading about Smart Contracts here: https://blockgeeks.com/guides/smart-contracts/. Smart contracts, CryptoCoins, and Blockchain can solve age old problems across many sectors of industry. You may have heard of the Ripple Coin (XRP). “Ripple”, for example, is providing a faster and cheaper solution for international bank wire transfers than the SWIFT system provides.

And just like there were only a few companies that survived the early 2000’s “dotcom” craze, it is this “solution value” that has American Express and other banks using Ripple’s technology and will give their coin (and any other coin that actually provides solutions) a lasting value that will survive after the myriad of coins that provide “no value” crash and burn. (https://ripple.com/use-cases/banks/).

Have a CryptoCoin, smart contract, or blockchain idea? Tell us about it. If you have an idea that is a real “solution”, you don’t have to develop it. We have the “techies” who can turn your idea into reality. And if it is a good idea we may even have an investor or joint venture partner who will put up the money to launch your ICO.

Our teams can do the complete development and marketing from start to finish, or in some cases we can do certain of the tasks as outlined below if you have partial elements in place. (For example we run into quite a few people who have had a coin developed and listed, but have not been able to market their coin. In these cases, we have marketing teams we can introduce you to who can help out with ICO and secondary trading marketing.)

CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT
  • WhitePaper
  • Includes BlockChain Utilization Use Cases And Visualization, Market Analysis, Growth Prognosis
  • Messaging Document for Press Releases & Distribution
  • High Level Prospectus Development
  • Infographics for Social Media Engagement
  • Assistance in deciding on ICO location(s)
ICO INFRASTRUCTURE

MARKETING
  • We will bring in teams to market your ICO according to all local, country and any international rules that apply. And we have additional teams that can provide support for marketing in the secondary market after your ICO is complete. Again, all compliant with applicable law no matter where your ICO or secondary trading is conducted.

Germany – Still Has Lot’s of Money!

Over the last several years as you are well aware it has been harder and harder for samll to medium sized companies to raise money, get listed, and sell stock in the US.  Likewise it has gotten harder and harder to list small and medium sized companies on the German stock Exchanges. But it is NOT any harder to raise money in Germany. GERMANY STILL HAS LOTS OF INVESTMENT CAPITAL!

Our German partners include some of the biggest Specialists and Sponsors for the Frankfurt and Berlin Exchanges.

Germany is where the money WAS in 2012 and still IS in 2018.

Right now it is no longer possible to go public on a German stock exchange in 45- 60 days as it once was.  To go pubic directly on a German stock exchange today is much like the time frame it would take in the US on the OTC – perhaps 9 months or so on average.

However companies listed on a qualified international exchange can get listed on Frankfurt or Berlin in a few weeks. Often we recommend a strategy of getting you listed in several countries at once. Right now Australian listings with a dual listing back to Frankfurt are one of our favorite combinations.  This can often be accomplished for a private company from scratch in as little as 4 months.

Exchange listed US companies (NYSE, AMEX, NASDAQ, etc.) can get listed on the Berlin or Frankfurt Exchanges in as little as a few weeks and can get fast funding (usually 90 days or less) on money raises of 10+ to 100+m. (Larger raises can take a little longer.)

If you have any interest, please give us a call.

Penny Stocks Are Dead! – What Is the Alternative?

As brokers, FINRA, and the SEC implement more and more rules and cautions to protect investors from the potential fraud that has invaded the penny stock market for years and years, it has killed off the ability to list and raise money for a legitimate development stage or young expanding company.

What is the solution?

The solution for those of you who have legitimate companies is to use the OTC listings and/or foreign listings as a first step in a comprehensive strategy to raise money, develop your company and then up-list to a higher exchange like NYSE  or NASDAQ etc.

Don’t be discouraged, there are still plenty of ways for a legitimate company to maneuver and take advantage of a public listing to grow and develop their young company – remember going public is not always about raising money. Going public has many other advantages and leverage points to develop your company.

For Example:

Used as a leverage tool it is a way to:

  • Leverage a larger retention of ownership then achieved with other forms of financing such as venture capital
  • Grow your company faster and make it more powerful by attracting top personnel without necessarily huge cash outlays. (Sometimes these personnel bring with them, investment money, contracts, or clientele).
  • Grow your company faster and make it more powerful by attracting top notch team members to your board of directors. (With the same implications as above.)
  • Raise money faster and cheaper by increasing the “liquidity” factor for your investors.
  • Grow your company faster and make it more powerful by increasing your ability to attract “mergers”, “acquisitions” and “strategic partners”.
  • Grow your company faster and make it more powerful by increasing its ability to compete for large corporate or government contracts.
  • Leverage your personal return on investment as an owner by decreasing the amount of time it will take you to make money on your investment, as well as increasing the valuation of your company by sometimes enormous multiples over the valuation of a private company, as well as, changing the liquidity of your asset to a much more liquid form than that of a private company.
  • Grow your business faster and make it more powerful by increasing your status in the eyes of all those you do business with.

Also remember there are many alternative ways to raise money, and your investors will eventually be better served by an up-listing to a major exchange than trying to liquidate your penny stock on the OTC. Even growing your company to the point it gets out of the penny stock definition (Less than $5 a share) will better serve your investors and create liquidity even on the OTC.

In the meantime, while growing your company, consult us for ways to protect yourself and your shareholders from dilution and shorting an other deleterious practices we find on the OTC. We are specialists in restructuring companies to survive the OTC, help them grow and qualify to up-list to a higher exchange.

Go Public WIth A Title III Funding

Title III Crowdfunding went into effect on May 16th, 2016.seal-1463802

Today Artfield Investments RD Inc. is offering a special package where we can take you public, arrange a crowdfunding of between $250,000 and $1,000,000 and follow up with a S1 offering to raise additional funds before listing you on the OTC.

https://www.sec.gov/news/pressrelease/2015-249.html

In April 2012, President Barack Obama signed into law the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act, or JOBS Act. The JOBS Act was so called because it aimed to facilitate access to capital for startups and small businesses, give more people the ability to participate in investment opportunities, and ultimately, create more jobs and stimulate economic growth. While other crowdfunding regulations from the JOBS Act, such as Title II and IV, were implemented more quickly, Title III is the third but most anticipated piece of crowdfunding regulation to become effective.

For the first time, Title III will allow issuers to raise funds online from ordinary people for investment purposes. The regulation creates a new exemption to the Securities Act of 1933. This essentially means that, for the first time since being written 80 years ago, our securities laws will be updated to recognize modern modes of online capital raising.

U.S. law previously prohibited unaccredited investors—those earning less than $200,000 a year with a net worth below $1 million—from investing in private companies in exchange for equity. Such investors could only fund startup projects via platforms such as Kickstarter or Indiegogo in return for a discount or the product itself. But now, just about anyone can spend over $2,000 backing a non-public company in return for equity.

Thanks to new rules set by Title III of the JOBS Act, startups are allowed tor raise up to $1 million in a 12-month period through this kind of crowdfunding. Private companies are required to issue financial statements to potential investors.

“For the first time, ordinary Americans will be able to go online and invest in entrepreneurs that they believe in,” President Barack Obama said when he first signed the bill into law three years ago.

Here’s What You Need to Know

Issuers, or those looking to raise funds, should know the following basics about Title III:

  • You may only raise $1M in a rolling 12-month period
  • You must use an online intermediary (more on this below)
  • You must be a U.S. entity
  • You must disclose certain financial information, and depending on how much you plan to raise, your financial statements may need to be reviewed or audited by an accountant
  • You must fulfill certain ongoing reporting requirements
  • You may raise funds from both accredited and non-accredited investors, although investors are limited to investing a certain dollar amount based on their income or net worth.

Title III is historic in that it specifically recognizes a new type of intermediary for crowdfunding transactions, called a funding portal. At least 30 applications for funding portals have been received as of April, with likely many more to come. Funding portals are essentially modern online connectors between issuer companies and investors and amongst investors, and these platforms will be regulated by the SEC and FINRA.
