Understanding the milestones you can accomplish as a company is an
important element in the development of a comprehensive plan that will
provide the proper exposure of the company to the public. MSI, with the

generally outlined in a 24-month comprehensive plan based on anticipated
milestones to be completed by the company.
MSI may also introduce clients to investor relations/public relations
firms that have been qualified by MSI. When deemed applicable, the
partner companies will be introduced to additional market makers and a

E. Public Markets |
|
Understanding the best way to increase the valuation of your company and
minimize dilution to existing shareholders is a complex proposition.
Many private companies desire entry to the public capital markets for a
variety of reasons, including increasing their valuation, access to less
dilutive capital, currency for acquisitions, shareholder
diversification, and investor liquidity. MSI assists clients with
accessing the public capital markets. MSI works with its clients to
ensure that they are qualified and have the required elements to exist
as a public company.
MSI understands that there are multiple ways for private companies to
become publicly traded beyond the traditional Initial Public Offering.
The options that exist for private companies to access the public
markets include:
-
Initial Public Offering
-
Direct public registration
-
A combination of a public offering
with a direct registration
-
A reverse merger with a public "shell"
company
-
Merger or acquisition by a publicly
traded company
MSI assists its clients in pursuing the approach that will provide
optimal results for the company. |
