Want to become a public company but do not want to do an IPO (Initial Public Offering) because of the high cost and the length of time it takes to do one.
Want to become a public company but do not want to do a reverse merger.
Want to raise capital through private placements using the published stock price as a “benchmark”.
Cannot currently find an underwriter for various reasons including market conditions at the time, little or no company history. Smaller foreign companies may find it even more difficult.
Want to increase the value of their stock in the public market so they do not dilute their stock as much when they go to the public markets to raise capital. Want to acquire other companies using their public stock as currency.
Want to provide an “exit strategy” for investors. A lot of investors will not invest in a company unless they have a way to get their money out. Having public stock gives them a way to do this. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Express IPO Capital specializes in bringing small and medium size companies to the U.S. public market place primarily on the Pink Sheets, the OTC: BB and the Frankfurt Stock Exchange.
