What is Private Placement?
Private placement or private investment capital, is money invested in your company usually from private investors in the form of stocks and sometimes bonds. In the United States, private placement often does not need to be registered with the Securities Exchange Commission. Benefits of Private Placement
High degree of flexibility in amount of financing ranging from 100 thousand to 10-20 million with combinations of debt, equity, or debt and equity capital.
Investors are more patient than venture capitalists, often seeking 10 to 20% return on investments over a longer term of 5 to 10 years.
Much lower costs than approaching venture capitalists or selling the stock to the public as an IPO (Initial Public Offering).
Quicker form of raising money than usual venture capital markets.
Who is a Candidate for Private Stock Offerings?
The ideal small business candidate is a company in the third stage of finance and is looking for growth or expansion funding. Small business owners might think private placement applies to start-ups when your company has completed product development, conducted a market-feasibility study and business planning but start-up funding often comes from angel investors.
Where to Find Private Placements?
The money from private placements will come from accredited investors defined by the SEC Rule 501 under Regulation D as:
an individual earning 200k per year.
a household with income of $300K per year or having a net worth over $1M.
