Avoiding Scams

Always do your due diligence first. That way you can avoid many "Take You Public" scams.

You should thoroughly investigate anyone you deal with Two ways.

First:  Do an informal background check.

  • Google their names and the name of their company
  • Run their names and the name of their company through a search on the SEC website
  • Read the "Disclaimer" section on their website.

Second - Research their track record.

Demand the names of companies they have successfully take public in the last few years.

Require them to give you the names of the SEC attorneys, CPA's, Market Makers, Transfer Agents and SEC EDGAR Filing Firms they work with in the process.

If they tell you to go public because you can access capital, request the names of all companies they took public that successfully raised capital after they went public.

If they offer to raise money for you, demand proof. Require them to give you names of

  • Companies they have raised money for
  • Their leads or sources who will invest in your company

Call these references BEFORE you make any decision about which firm you are going to hire to take you public. You'll soon discover the truth.

I'm proud of my track record. I invite you to:

Do a background search on me.

If you haven't done so already, read my Track Record.

There, you'll learn about:

  • My team members
  • Companies I have successfully taken public and their Ticker Symbols

When you're finished, you'll know why we are THE firm you can trust with the job of taking your company public.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT RAISING MONEY

If you are seeking the assistance of others to help you raise money, REMEMBER - the only legitimate third party that can legally help you raise money is a FINRA registered broker/dealer.   No other type of firm that can legally raise money for you.  If the person offering to help you raise money is not a FINRA registered broker/dealer, they are not acting in compliance with the law and you will face scrutiny from both the SEC and FINRA for these activities in the course of our transaction.
