Do you want to give up 40% for $500,000 or $5,000,000?

Let’s start with a very important area, your overall corporate structure. Analyzing this can usually make a huge difference in keeping you in the driver’s seat. Assuming your company is already incorporated you may need to amend your original Articles of Incorporation and re-think the math regarding the number of authorized shares versus those already issued. Is a stock split in order? You’ll need to decide on the amount of capital you want to raise (being sure to think of the big picture), the number of shares you want to sell and finally your offering price per share. You may also want to consider a second class of stock, such as; non-voting preferred or convertible shares. Do you want these shares be accompanied with a dividend?  How much of a dividend? When will they be convertible? These are just some of the many tools available that can help you raise an unlimited amount of capital while keeping you in control.

The offering

Whether you intend to raise less than a million dollars or an unlimited amount, you’ll need a complete offering document. The PPM is your offering document and contains all the information an investor would need in order to make an intelligent decision on whether or not to invest in your venture. It would contain your business plan, mission statement, your company’s products and ideas for future growth, key managers bios with job descriptions, its risk factors, a description and price of the shares being offered, a list of all current share holders, their ownership percentage, the new share dilution, and detailed financials and a 3 –  5 year pro-former. The most important factors too many investors will be your business plan (does it make sense and will it be profitable), your management team (who’s running the company) and the ultimate return on investment (ROI).

Does your business have what it takes to attract investors?

Jumpstart Capital often asks clients to put themselves in the investors’ shoes and look closely at all your investment material, then ask yourself “is this something I would invest in?” Let’s hope the answer is yes, for if it is not you have more work to do before launching any offering!

The Business Plan

Your business plan is the foundation for your business success. It should be a living document that generally projects 3-5 years ahead and outlines the route your company intends to take to grow revenues. Whether you already have one, need it critiqued or need an entire plan created from scratch our staff can accommodate you and put your company on the road to success.

Business-Plan

What We Do

Our goal is to help you build a solid foundation and position your company to obtain the funding necessary to take your company not only through the next phase, but through all phases as it becomes ready to do so.

We will help you put your concept on paper so that prospective lenders and investors will be inspired to consider funding your company. All companies should have this foundation in place, and by using our services to help you do this, we will focus on building that foundation for you, while you continue to run your business…in other words, free you up to focus on YOUR area of expertise!

It is critical that a company like yours position itself properly for raising capital; like your company, the investor community is also unique, and there is a standard way of doing things so that you can capture the attention of the right investors…they will want to see that you are being properly guided in the process of raising funds, and that you are structured with the right documentation. That is where we come in.

Your timing could not be better given the recently passed Regulation D 506(c) which removed all restrictions on public solicitation of your offering. Here are just a few of the highlights of this new law:

  • No limitation on amount of funds that can be raised
  • Exempt from State registration
  • SEC registration after initial fund raise
  • You decide initial share price.
  • You decide amount of equity you want to sell

This means that, if you follow the proper protocol, you raise the capital that you require to take your company to the next level, and maintain control of your company!

We offer many services that help companies of all sizes, no matter the phase that it is in.  Based upon our initial review of your company information, and your overview, we recommend the following services:

  • Corporate Structure Review and/or Formation
  • Business Plan (Review and/or Creation)
  • Financial Forecast
  • Private Placement Memorandum
  • Subscription Agreements
  • Use of Proceeds
  • Fundraising Package(s)
  • Broker Selection Assistance
  • Marketing Strategy & Assistance

The Next Step

The next step in this process is to have a conference call to discuss the exact Scope of Services that you will require, provide you with our Services Agreement, and gather the information that we’ll need to begin the project. While many companies would prefer that we receive compensation for our services once the capital is raised, we simply cannot do so because of the hours necessary to complete the work to help position your company for its money raise, the majority of which are completed on the front end, and come with expenses that we cannot defer. We work on a nominal retainer with reasonable hourly rates billed against it; the fees are structured based upon the Scope of Services that will best meet your needs and requirements.

We know that for most clients time is of the essence (particularly if you want to be positioned to take full advantage of Regulation D 506(c) which means that while you can raise funds without it, it makes it so much easier to raise capital by allowing you to advertise and market your offering.

Remember your corporation is only as good as its records

We know how important it is that entities properly observe corporate formalities and properly maintain their corporate records and accounts. This will help maintain the corporate status and protect shareholders from personal liabilities. For one low yearly fee we’ll keep all of your corporate records as well as remind you of any events that need to be addressed.
