Private Placement Memorandum authoring and the process of taking one\’s company public are services that require extensive experience and the ability to look at a deal objectively and peripherally to evaluate all the angles to enhance the ability of the client to achieve funding in a timely manner.

Many times, when I\’m hired to structure a company before funding, they will be under the impression that my evaluation is a mere formality and they are ready to go. Often I\’m the bearer of bad news when I have to break it to the client that their company has more holes than Swiss cheese and 30 to 60 days away from starting the fund raising process.

They will often get a second and then third opinion and usually run into the same thing before they eventually find their way back to our firm. As they call around to consulting firms they perpetually experience the \’hard sell\’ by firms who \’need\’ the business because they lack the rewards and referrals that come with cultivating each client relationship because they take on and spit out deals so fast they hardly remember their client\’s name during the transaction.

This mentality dominates the larger firms because of their gargantuan overhead while the boutique firms can take a more personal approach because they have a steady flow of business and referrals because they are not stressed about bringing in the next big deal so they can meet payroll and keep their lights on. The smaller companies that focus on turnaround consulting, private placement memorandum authoring, top tier business plan writing and taking companies public usually take a one on one approach to the consulting process and will rarely pressure clients to sign on because their phone is ringing off the hook with previous clients who want to hire them for the next stage in the evolution of their company\’s growth.

This business is all about relationships. Ditch the consultant that applies the high pressure sales tactics and seek out the smaller, more personalized groups that don\’t \’need\’ your business but will cultivate and value it.

Are you a business owner raising capital with a Regulation D Rule exemption (504, 505 or 506) also referred to as a Private Placement Memorandum, PPM or Offering Memorandum? If you are using this mechanism to raise capital then you\’ll, no doubt, have to have a solid comprehension of the most distinct and important part of the Private Placement Memorandum referred to as the \’Offering Circular\’.

When your consultant or attorney is asking you for details on everything from business location to management, from dividends to risk details, you need to make sure that this information is complete and accurate. You\’ll need to audit the documents after they are completed. A solid Offering Circular has kept countless companies from being sued by investors that didn\’t get the investment return they were anticipating.

While the business plan is meant to grab the initial attention of the investor or funding source, the Offering Memorandum is meant to spell out the down and dirty details of the venture so that you are protected from lawsuits down the road, while simultaneously exposing the various ins and outs of your venture to give a \’reality check\’ to the investor before they hand over the cash.

The offering circular needs to be powerful yet very compact without the redundancies of using space to say the same things over and over again to pull the investors attention from the negative to the potential profit margins or management\’s impressive pedigree. With all this said, yes it\’s true the offering circular is one of the parts of a PPM spells out the technical aspects of the enterprise with a focus on inherent risk of investing but this can be done in a balanced way to also demonstrate the positive aspects of your venture by giving solid descriptions of your management team and, in place, distribution centers and contracts in place ready for capitalization.

When authoring the offering circular demonstrate the risks with a well balanced demonstration of the system in place to overcome these risks and dominate your market niche.

Office buildings are significant energy consumers using an average of 17 kWh of electricity and 32 cubic feet of gas per square foot. Moreover, industry data indicates that energy costs are 20% of the typical facility\’s annual operating budget.

As energy costs continue to increase, businesses are discovering the tremendous financial, operational and competitive value of energy cost reduction and improved energy efficiency.

Because HVAC and lighting comprise 65% of combined energy use in office buildings (47% and 18% respectively), they are where you should initially focus your energy reduction efforts. By centering on these key areas, companies have significantly improved energy efficiency while maintaining or improving occupant / employee comfort and productivity.

Because each facility is relatively unique, using a carefully planned \”whole facility\” approach, allows you to be confident that you are making the best, most financially and operationally prudent energy efficiency choices. You will find there are proven and recommended engineering approaches and technologies available that can guarantee results and by working with an experienced, energy services company or engineering firm, choosing the right options does not need to be complicated. Deciding where and how to begin can be fairly straightforward. The best first step is always to focus on quick, low cost or no cost solutions. This can include training staff to turn lights off when they leave unoccupied rooms, using occupancy sensors in offices, conference rooms, etc., using sleep mode settings for computers and other electronics when not in use, setting back thermostats during overnight and closed hours and having the HVAC systems serviced and cleaned on a regular basis. After you\’ve addressed the \”low hanging fruit\”, next steps can involve choosing from a variety of longer term options that are designed to deliver much greater energy savings. Options should be considered based on their proven track record of success, whether they are \”approved\” or \”recommended\” by organizations such as Energy Star, US DOE, USGBC, IEEE, etc., their cost effectiveness and return on investment as well as their consistency with your company\’s goals and culture. Some of the best options for office buildings include lighting upgrades to high efficiency fluorescent, CFL and/ or LED, use of occupancy sensors and day-lighting opportunities, sine wave modification for outdoor lighting circuits, liquid pressure amplification for central chiller plants, anti-compressor short cycling for roof top units, use of variable frequency drives, building management systems, reflective roof coatings and possibly equipment replacement for older equipment that is approaching the end of its useful life.

As you proceed with implementing energy efficiency measures, know that you don\’t have to do it alone. There are experienced firms that can help make recommendations and provide turnkey services for you. In choosing a partner to guide this type of \”whole facility\” approach for you, it is important to look at a number of factors. You may want to ask the following: What is their level of experience using these various technologies, do they use proven and recommended approaches, what are the credentials of their staff, are they members of key industry organizations, what is their level of knowledge of your industry, do they offer a free initial evaluation and do they offer guarantees at each step of the process. Remember, the sooner you begin, the sooner you start saving your organization\’s valuable and limited resources and improving your company\’s profitability!

In today\’s world, thousands, if not millions of people are trying to start some sort of website online. Most of them end up losing out on all kinds of money due to the lack of knowledge most individuals have in the beginning. We all seem to get bombarded by free website builders, social networking sites, and everything else, but most of the customized features for these sites are minimal. They simply don\’t have the same type of options an affordable web hosting site can offer you. However, it\’s not all \”peachy\” in web hosting sites.

On the upside, most affordable web hosting packages are complete. They have a reasonable amount of space and bandwidth for blog sites to be hosted or even small forums to be managed. The PHP support along with other support for databases like MySQL should be enough for several different types of sites to be set up with ease.

What you should really focus on upfront is the types of back-up systems available. While it\’s something to worry about, there shouldn\’t be a problem finding a suitable site that keeps your information from being discarded in unfortunate situations. Plus, it\’s always nice to have back office help when needed, and FTP access if you want to upload files from the computer.

Another thing you\’ll want to look for is speed and security. Most affordable web hosting has uptime at 99% and speeds that reflect high speed Internet use. Even if your site is full of traffic, their servers will do the job. Just keep in mind that the more multimedia items you have on your website, the performance starts to go down some. However, just compare these to a free web hosting site and you\’ll notice the difference.

While there are many positive aspects to an affordable web hosting package, there are also issues that come along. We already mentioned multimedia capabilities, and when you mix this with high traffic your site will have a major slow down. When you reach this point you\’ll want to upgrade to dedicated web hosting for faster speeds.

Sites hosted in affordable web hosting servers may be affected if another site hosted in the same server suffers from an attack. This is a major security issue even if your web applications are fully patched up and secure. Therefore backing up or switching to a dedicated server is a must for avoiding damage.

We would even recommend paying the extra fee (it\’s small) to be a part of the WHOIS domain privacy package. It will allow you to keep your personal information secure, and alleviate any obstacles that could surface from it. Since most of these companies don\’t offer custom name servers to be made, a dedicated server is better in the privacy protection area. Just remember that it costs more.

These rather minor drawbacks do not tarnish affordable web hosting all that much in generation. Affordable web hosting packages are still perfect for any webmasters that want to seriously bring their website to a commercial audience. Upgrades should only be made as soon as these drawbacks are realized so nobody is harmed by the site browsing experience. Because dedicated servers can be several times more expensive than affordable web hosting, affordable web hosting is the recommended choice when you are uncertain of what you need for your site.

Everyone has heard about a friend of a friend who knew a guy that had a sister who got involved with a company just before they went public, made a small seed investment and when the company went public she made millions.

Real Pre – Public investments in companies that are built to last with solid executive management and board of directors all wrapped in a industry that can still flourish in a recession are extremely difficult to find and impossible to be part of unless you are \’in the know\’, meaning you are the auditing or contract attorney for the company filing with the SEC, the accounting firm doing the third party audit, the consulting firm who is putting together the corporate strategies for the company or the investor relations industry that is gearing up for the publicity and promotions campaign to run in a post offering environment.

Typically the invitation to invest in a pre-public company comes in the form of a Direct Public Offering after the company is divided into shares with a private placement memorandum and before the third party audit and before and during the comments stage of the S1 filing. If you are fortunate enough to invest in a company with the above description you will most likely being offered deeply discounted stock (cheaper than what will be offered in the public market) which means you will (if the offering goes as planned) increase your initial investment amount by 200+ percent.

This is not at all a rare instance. Getting invited to invest in the pre-public, seed capital stage is actually quite simple if you know who to talk to. The best companies to become aligned with are \’go public\’ facilitation consultants and corporate turnaround consultants.
