Raising Capital
Raising capital through accredited investors is one of the best ways to get a young company off the ground. Private investors who contribute their skills and also money to help younger companies are the best methods for raising capital. These investors also include angel investors or venture capitalists.
Companies raising capital can now use "General Solicitation/Advertising" to locate non-US investors under Regulation S. In addition, companies raising capital can also utilize mailing lists and pay finders fees to non-US non-broker dealers. Companies can also utilize Reg D to offer a private placement of securities to U.S. investors as well. By combining both a U.S. Private Placement Offering and a "foreign" Direct Public Offering, the company has a broader chance of raising capital they need.
Private investors are an excellent way to raise capital
Often times raising capital can be difficult if your businesses business plan is risky. Most banks will not fund a risky business proposition, but an accredited investor will because they like having the opportunity to earn a high return on their investments as a result of your raising capital efforts.
Once you have had success in raising capital for your company, you will need to make sure you have a good funding proposal in place. Your accredited investors want to see in depth information on how much money you need to run your business, and they also want to see how that money will be spent. You also need to have an exit strategy planned out for the investors showing how money will be earned and paid back.
