January 27th, 2011 · Comments Off · Sales

Companies that lack growth are typically missing the element of leadership. Egotistical CEO’s that disrespect their staff and lack the necessary communication to yield productivity is usually the wrong person to back during an IPO or globalization initiative because without the cooperation of those in the trenches, the process becomes dysfunctional and all efforts are in vain.

I say concept because this describes a general tactic as opposed to a strategy personified by a direct registration or S1 filing. Shortcuts have no place in a public offering as it lacks the results sought by entrepreneurs and demanded by investors and shareholders. Shells for mergers are typically dogs infested with microscopic flees, the struggle for volume and investor retention is constant and you’ll never have the full legitimacy of an S1 as the previous owners organizational baggage will constantly hinder your development as a public entity as the weight of skeletons in the closet will always outweigh your efforts, thus eliminating the results of IR and other promotional tactics for stock traction in the marketplace. Going public doesn’t have to be painful, all you need is a game plan and experienced agents working on your behalf. If you’re broke get a loan, don’t attempt a public offering. If your company has a proven concept and solid net revenues then going public may be just the fund raising tool you’ve been looking for.
