Dividend Payout
Dividends are payments made to company shareholders from the profits of the company. Whether they are accredited investors, foreign investors or unsophisticated investors, they are entitled to know the plan on how you intend on rewarding them for their investment. If the company has not made a profit over a given period then it cannot pay a dividend. Most large public limited companies pay a dividend either once or twice a year.
A dividend is a reward to shareholders for investing in their company. It is up to the directors of the company to decide if and when a dividend can be paid to the company's shareholders.
You will need to project earnings growth in the next 3 to 5 years to justify a dividend payout. If you do, you will need to start to set aside your profits now for the payout later.
It is always best to seek advise from a qualified securities attorney and a seasoned business consultant to determine which exit strategy is best for your private placement offering.
