Corporations of all sizes and genres are finding themselves in the difficult position of expanding as a mandatory necessity as opposed to solely building value as a part of growth strategies. If you find yourself in a position which makes globalization a requirement for survival here are a few things to make the process easier.

When taking your company from strictly a regional or domestic entity and trasnfering your energies into an international formula there are 4 basic elements that you should take into consideration before doing anything: corporate infrastructure, brand, distribution and capitalization.

Corporate infrastructure as far as management, divisions, subsidiaries etc are the first step to planning your expansion. First, cut the dead weight. Management must re-interview for their jobs, divisions and subsidiaries will be eliminated, merged or kept as is. Take into consideration the need for minimal input and maximum output. Where are your highest profit margins, what employees offer the most expertise for the least financial outlay? Make sure that your corporate structure is conducive to scalability and is streamline enough to be considered ‘lean and mean’ in every sense of the term.

As far as your corporate brand you’ll take the foundation you’ve constructed up to the present and infuse it with a plethora of strategic alliances both inter-industry and outside of your immediate industry. Piggyback off of the successes of partners, team up on announcements using various press release and news release vehicles and make it every executives job to be on the lookout for ways to merge and create relationships with other companies with the same goals.

Just as with your corporate infrastructure your distribution process should be perpetuated and expanded with minimal input and maximum result. The best way to do this is to create tight strategic partnerships at both the corporate and legislative levels. Teaming up with companies that are already established distribution mechanisms in the global marketplace and creating win/win situations will make growth via alliances quick and easy. Offer them an exclusive distribution on a new cutting edge widget or service that your company is offering. Offer them some free promotion by including them in your media package or publicity submissions. At the legislative level this is most important in industrializing nations such as China, India and western Europe. In these regions politicians act as powerbrokers for commerce and getting in with them can be vital to creating long lasting and profitable localized strategies and relationships.

Lastly, capitalization is the most crucial of all elements because without it, none of the above can be facilitated. Maximizing profitability without sacrificing quality, customer services or turnaround time is the name of the game. Cutting costs internally is typically what needs to be done here as well as minimizing marketing and promotional costs by streamlining your efforts with joint promotional ventures and the above described strategic alliances.

For those of you in a mad dash for funding you’ve obviously realized that banks and institutional lenders aren’t going to be parting with their cash anytime soon. The bailout money provided to them by our tax dollars was meant o jump-start the entrepreneurial community and spike job creation but this just as everything else our government does with the shake down capital it rapes from it’s citizens is nothing but smoke and mirrors.

Yes they are taking your money and placing our children in the greasy talon grip of indentured servitude without a choice and yes the banks were suppose to use this bailout money for our economy but the hand is quicker than the eye and here we are again, broke and left in economic limbo as once again the system and the government sucker punched hard working citizens, drug them into a dark alleyway and put the beat down on Joe Public. Who will come to your defense if the government that has an emergency IV hooked up to your bank account and wallet will do nothing but lie as reciprocation for destroying your company, taking your money and pummeling your children into submission as future economic lab rats.

There has been a lot of talk about Regulation d (regulation d 504, regulation d 505 and regulation d 506) also referred to as a Private Placement Memorandum which is a little used process of raising public capital via private placement with an SEC approved process for raising capital for private companies. In a typical economy investors will get involved and let their investment ride while the company restructures and pays out modest dividends prior to the payback of the Reg D payback.

Here is the problem with Regulation D, in these current economic conditions an investor is demanding a built in exit strategy with a time limit and the investment must be done in a strategic, solid manner. A prototypical, off the shelf PPM will have too many restrictions for an accredited investor to be able to sell their shares to a ready market which means the investor will need to hang onto those shares for 24+ months and just hope that the company doesn’t go broke during that period.

Here is an alternative. Use the regulation d rule 506 exemption as a pre public structure to raise just enough capital to get your company moving and use the additional proceeds to go public on the OTCBB (over the counter bulletin board). Place the pre public investor’s names on the s1 so that they can trade without restriction when the company is public just a few months later. There is you exit strategy and optimal capital raise. Make your fund raising efforts count, reg d is a great pre OTCBB structure which will provide the powerful exit strategy that will have investors banging your door down with interest.

Investors who are able to achieve higher yields on their investments take a different approach to growing their portfolio than most. Of course they use a broker and/or investment adviser for information on transactions but will typically make their investment decisions based off of their own collective research.

The reality is the few that have gained a comprehension for seeking out and getting involved with trades that open the floodgates to massive profits use their own money and operate as part of a small, tight knit group. The members of this ‘group’ always have their feelers out like tentacles sucking up and analyzing potential transactions, immediately looking for strategic elements and immediately dumping 99% as they don’t meet the criteria.

Two major components that professional investors who use their own money and are able to consistently pick winning transactions are companies that are in merger and/or acquisition mode and companies that are seeking seed capital specifically to go public.

Let’s focus on the latter. Companies seeking seed capital to go public are often financially viable companies with modest liquidity but are taking on seed investors so that they can meet the SEC minimum criteria of having 40 investors on the books to qualify for going public. Investors that are able to, literally, make millions per transaction have a way of getting into these opportunities by connecting with consultants who take companies public. If you are able to get involved with these consulting firms and if you have some capital to designate as a seed investor, you can literally be placed in 4,5 or even 6+ pre IPO investments per year. When you are one of the 40 investors in a pre public OTCBB corporation you are usually investing seed capital at a fraction of the future public price. The difference between what you pay for the seed stock and what the company charges per share when public is the profit.

It isn’t at all out of the ordinary to buy seed stock at 50 cents and have that stock gain in value of $1.00 to $1.50 when the company goes public and yes, you just made 50 cents to $1.00 net profit on each share (note: seed prices and opening prices vary). The great thing is you can often invest as a seed investor with as little as $5,000 to $10,000. If you have more capital you can spread it out over multiple pre-IPO opportunities. Seek out the pre- public companies and make your investments worth

As the global economy becomes more uncertain, entrepreneurs and CEOs are evaluating their fundraising strategies as traditional institutional lenders and government grants are become less available. For solid companies with profits there is a strong possibility of going public.

Pink Sheets aren’t very appealing to investors so these otc pink sheet companies can rarely stay in existence post public and the NASDAQ is a platform in which few can qualify so for companies seeking a rapid public offering of the pinks and the legitimacy of the NASDAQ the OTCBB (over the counter bulletin boards) is a viable option. The process can take from 3 to 6 months for a direct s1 filing and if it’s a real company getting the market maker to file the 15c211 is not that big of an issue as long as the initial audit and S1 filing went through without a hitch.

Post public operations are a completely different story and the investor relations strategy can and will make or break your ability to succeed in the public realm.

A strong investor relations campaign should contain a few central components: general corporate publicity, publicity wraps that go around each ‘C’ level executive to create the ‘expert’ label with your key staff, phone room communication to brokers to notify them on the ins and outs and what’s coming up for your company, stock alerts keeping seasoned traders up to speed with your stock position and information, press releases, keeping an eye out for and announcing the potential acquisitions and don’t forget about viral media (video, bookmarks, articles etc). One other thing is to hire a solid publicist who can get you on radio and television expert panel interview sessions as well as getting mentioned in journals and news papers.

All of the above is absolutely crucial to surviving and thriving in your post public life. One other thing, keep an eye out for solid strategic alliances who have multiple synergies that overlap with your business model. This is an important element for domestic and international growth and investor appeal.

Click on the TV and you’ll see them, faces like the Joker with ceramic smiles plastered onto their face. Using the name of Jesus and romantic concepts of fighting in wars and existing at deaths door while he fought for his country is the general MO of any politician. But what happens when we enter into the endless tunnels of the rabbit hole where these Jokers exist? Among the cobwebs, rotting carcasses filth is a den where they all congregate. Kissing babies and speaking at the Rotary Club are just strokes of makeup on the faces of these right snatching villains. The reality of how unqualified these professional politicians are should scare the tar out of all of us. Of course we are having issues with our monetary system, the people who are running our government’s finance divisions have a minimal background in the subject. Of course our men and women are dying abroad in wars that we don’t need to be in, the politicians don’t understand what it’s like to lose a child because their kid is in the National Guard on Cape Cod whale watching duty. It’s a joke.

The ones who get hurt the most in our country are the entrepreneurs that keep taking a lickin but keep on tickin, but how long until the prototypical American entrepreneur begins to lose hope and lose steam and one can only tread water for so long before you begin to sink. We have second and third generation wealth in congress and the senate, what do they know about starting a company with blood, sweat and tears only to lose it to a loophole the IRS uses to freeze their assets and steal their business away? FDIC backed banks are just as guilty for the crumbling of our economy. We live in a society whose hierarchy has determined that the best way to keep the population out of politics and blind to the reality of how economically damned we are is to keep us busy working 80 hours per week so that we can’t look up to discover that we’re no longer in the blessed land of our forefathers but we’ve fallen through Hades and into the fiery pit of hell.

Here is a revolutionary idea, actually it’s not so revolutionary at all, quit using elements distributed like free crack by the system. Sure it’s a highly addictive concept, we pay taxes and because we do so we should have access to certain rights, but most Americans are seeing this from the wrong perspective because they are like lambs to the slaughter as they are guided to the conclusions set forth by the establishment and the pawns used to target certain demographics. Here is my not so revolutionary idea, sure, use the system for what you can get out of it, you won’t get much but hey, it’s worth a shot, but instead of waiting on politicians and their backing lap monkeys to come up with strategies to issue loans, kick them to the curb, bring in an aggressive Tea Party player and while they are getting established be part of the transformation of the system by opening up your small and medium size company to public investment.

There is a huge misconception fueled by the governments mastery of overgeneralization that only gargantuan size companies can go public, this is far from the truth. If you have revenues of $500k or more, you can go public on the OTCBB, London and/or Frankfurt exchanges. Stay away from the Pink Sheets as this is not a platform for a company with longevity at the forefront of their mind.

Bring on a consultant who understands scalability and globalization and they will put together a process that will rock your world and fill up your bank account with the cash you need and easy cross collateralization of securities to keep you out of the ‘bank’ business and into the realm of global profitability and industry niche power. Take control of your corporate and economic fate. You deserve it so do your children and employees. Step out of the systematic droning of society and take control. It’s actually quite simple to do.
