If you think economic conditions are tough now, you haven’t seen anything yet. Europe’s collapse is just getting started which will affect our exports, banking and real estate market all over again. Our nation’s current financial traction is only temporary and we still have one to three more cycles of down spiraling real estate market conditions to deal with.

Believe none of what you hear from politicians and half of what you see as to them it’s all just a sitcom entwined in smoke and mirrors. To your local government official you’re just a rat on a treadmill chasing after scraps from their table. Do you honestly think you matter to them? All they care about is votes, don’t be naive by thinking they ran for office because of social conviction.

You are just a vote on a ticket in a ballet box, nothing more. The two sectors of the market that have been hardest hit are small/medium size business due to lack of growth capital and shrinking client base and the employees of these companies who have lost their jobs because of cut backs. Being that most issues lie with the demise of the entrepreneur let’s take a closer look at the problems they face and how we can solve them.

Small business is the lifeblood to our nation’s economy. Our entrepreneurs feed an economy which once guzzled luxury items, technology and solutions that made our lives easier. With funding cuts from the top of the economic food chain (Fed to banks to entrepreneurs) there are no lines of credit to offset temporary losses which in turn creates substantial losses without the critical and timely rebound. Companies can’t grow because of the lack of expansion capital, lease options and other alternative financing mechanisms.

While your senator will stand and entertain questions at a press conference make no mistake you’re trapped in a spider filled casket in a forgotten crypt. Grim? Absolutely. Disgusting and despicable is more like it. Instead of promoting concepts that can empower business owners, politicians keep silent as we all slide into the tar pit in one communal involuntary suicide.

Here is the information that they are not telling you. Here is a solution to the problem of a bankrupt middle class and the ever shrinking small/medium size business. Our solution lies in two very simple words, “Private Capital”. There are solutions and you have power to change your fate.

Private capital comes in many forms but here we are going to talk about Regulation D Rule 506 which stemmed from the Securities Act of 1933 which is an SEC approved way of splitting your company up into organized shares and selling those shares to the public via public offering through private placement also referred to as a private placement memorandum. You can sell shares to accredited investors who believe in your business model. A PPM can be a pre IPO (otcbb) structure, long term investment with a certain exit strategy or you can pay dividends. There are many options, just pick one and move forward.

My personal favorite for helping qualified corporations raise capital and take control is using a PPM to raise a seed capital round and use the proceeds to fund an SEC audit, S1 Filing, 15c211 filing to FINRA approval and trading symbol disbursement. Yes, it is that easy to take your company public. Most companies won’t qualify for the NASDAQ or NYSE and you shouldn’t even consider the cesspool of the pink sheets but a wonderful platform that works great with the above and a solid investor relations strategy is the OTCBB (over the counter bulletin boards).

Once your company is public you can sell securities and cross collateralize your securities for a quick capital raise with minimal institutional banking intervention and drawbacks. Find a consultant who can take you through the process and can demonstrate solid comprehension of your business genre. Take control now!

Taking a company public has multiple intricacies. I get calls and emails daily from people who want a quote for taking their company public and I respond the same way each time, “No Thanks and good luck, you’re going to need it if this is how you’re approaching the process of going public”. Business owners who are seeking a ‘competitive quote’ from a consultant to take them public are asking for trouble and just begging to attract the wolves. Its shocking how many startup consultants are crouched over in darkened alleyways waiting to pounce on unsuspecting entrepreneurs and take their money and deliver absolutely nothing.

If you want to find a consultant worth their weight in salt you need to take the approach of general evaluation using targeted questions to find out if they are truly qualified to take your company to the next level. First and most basic, ask them if they are offering a turn-key public offering service, meaning do they participate in everything from soup to nuts including but not limited to: S1 filing and comments completion for SEC approval and market maker designation and 15c211 filing with FINRA to obtain symbol.

Think of this as the stuffing between the OREO cookies. Now you need to qualify them for their pre public and post public solutions. Pre public you need to make sure they will assist you with corporate structuring, expansion strategies, board of adviser selection, board of director election, executive pedigree evaluation for a public company, corporate and executive publicity generation using traditional means of radio and TV expert panel participation and viral publicity branding.

Your post public strategy is crucial and should be set in motion pre public so that you can hit the public market full throttle from the onset of your public offering. Post public strategies should entail a vast and in-depth investor relations strategy using stock alerts, press releases, promotion to market makers and other advisers, TV and radio interviews, article publishing and growth through acquisition just to name a few strategies.

You shouldn’t come out of the gate and lead the consultant to answer with the above information but target your questions so that they are general enough so that the consultant gives you their pre customized, boilerplate template strategy.

Going public can be extremely rewarding if done properly. Don’t try to do this on your own. Find qualified professionals to take you through the process in a structured and orderly manner.

For decades economic realities have been placed under a black veil of secrecy with its truths and lies known only to the institutional banking elite and we the public just stand like an ocean of monkeys. The system was never exposed, insiders never spoke out.

Yes, this industry has been nothing but lies and chaos, that is, until about 8 years ago. A small consulting firm called Princeton Corporate Solutions began to take this insider knowledge and make it available through very public articles and blogs. The blog on their website is one of the premier global economics and IPO blog stops on every economist’s pilgrimage to seeking and using investment banking, global commerce and IPO knowledge written by the hands of the masters.

The PCS blog does something that no other financial blog in the world does, they take away the technical jargon and in plain English, patiently and painstakingly take the reader by the hand and show them how something like having a personal bank account with a top tier institutional lender can be adding debt to your children’s tax liability 20 years from now.

They talk about the ‘unspoken’ truths of how if a country wants to hurt another country that is not cooperating with insiders, then the insiders want to impose economic sanctions on these decanters and inflict pain by damaging trade relations, threatening IMF intervention or liquidating currency holding to further damage the company who’s not playing by the rules of the establishment. Taking the military into a country is more for statement than anything as economic sanctions are the most powerful tool of war without lifting a single gun and the goal is to get the citizens of the country fed up and wound up so that they force internal changes within their borders to get those sanctions lifted but this rarely happens. The economy will eventually weaken and big business will step in with fists full of Uncle Sam’s money and start introducing the locals to the finer things in life, the luxuries that they could have but their president doesn’t want them to have them etc.

The exposing of how institutional insiders and politicians toy with the system is now termed ‘The Princeton Affect’ named after Princeton Corporate Solutions. “I think it’s a Wall Street Thing” says James Scott, CEO of PCS, “I just got so sick of hearing the lies on TV and having all the zombies at home watching and believing all this garbage. All we are trying to do is help the little guy understand what he is truly up against when trying to run the company in this economy.”

Global economics affects everyone with a pulse on the planet yet so few people understand it, ‘The Princeton Affect’ is the crystallization and simplifying technical economic issues in a way for the common man to increase knowledge and understanding on how to best protect oneself and grow during this difficult time as a business owner or C level executive.

Placid expressions on the faces of the soon to be sacrificed entrepreneurs, “Line up, take a number, politicians are momentarily occupied at the citizen guillotine but they’ll get to you in a moment. Yes, just stand there and wait your turn while the IRS picks your pockets and bankers rape you of your dignity, don’t worry it will all be over soon.”

Is this a little to graphic or a little to real? Which is more upsetting to you? I believe that the fact that the above is the psychological reality of the American populace at this moment in time and that is what’s so disturbing. We are led to the slaughter as sacrificial lambs and we are expected to just grin and take it as it is our patriotic responsibility not to complain. Just take this two ton backpack of burdens, place them on the backs of our infants and move on. Right? I am asked to speak on the topic of global finance, IPOs and corporate globalization internationally and the one common thread I see in every country I visit is that the citizens of the host country feel that it is their patriotic duty to stand there while corrupt politicians place the noose over their children’s heads and slowly suffocate the lives out of them with debt, corruption and the economic burdens of multiple generations.

Truth be told, the patriotic thing to do is ask questions, protect our children from a mountain of growing debt and tell the institutional powers that be exactly what we demand of them. In the meantime what does a company do when they are trying to raise capital to stimulate rapid growth or stabilize their position? The last thing you want to do is open yourself up to the life sucking banking imps who lend with the intent to repossess.

Take the power back, create wealth for your family and your children’s children. Take your company public, start with the OTCBB (over the counter bulletin board) if you can’t qualify for a larger exchange and grow from there. Be smart with your corporate capital and use your stock sparingly and preserve it. Before you sell shares for public consumption, conserve your share price by securities backed loans like PIPEs.

Offer shares to loyal employees and give them a chance as well. Politicians will pick your pockets until there is nothing left, banks are pawns to the Federal Reserve whose sole purpose is to bury you in debt and wrap invisible handcuffs around your wrists. Go public. Create opportunity and wealth and take charge of your own fate.

Global consultants are all preaching the need for IPOs and eastern expansion into major Chinese markets but very few have the knowledge on exactly how to accomplish this and even less have the contacts to make such ventures happen.

In order for a company make a cross boarder expansion into a massive market like China work the consulting firm must have powerful local and federal government contracts as well as regional and local business leaders that can support the transition. Get ready to make payoffs as this is still the way developing nations operate and during an audit there are always three sets of books, one set the company shows the government for taxes, one they show to clients to earn their business and then the actual books which are only shown to insiders. Without the proper synergies in place by the consultant and the regional power-base you can forget a trouble free expansion. Consultants who are taking their clients public in the United States and then engineering international expansion and global strategic alliances are connected, in a big way to law makers on all sides as this is the only realistic way to facilitate a global expansion. I have been in this industry for 25 years and there is one company that is constantly in the news and on the tongues of global strategists for their ongoing track record for successfully taking companies public and facilitating global expansions on behalf of their clients at a speed that is simply staggering. Princeton Corporate Solutions is one of the only true global expansion strategies consulting firms. Their CEO, James Scott has established himself among US, EU and Chinese governments and regional lawmakers as an executive with the contacts to make or break a local industry in a developing/industrializing nation.

“It’s all about synergy”, Scott explains, “when taking a company public the corporate infrastructure must be in place and the professional pedigree of the ‘C’ level executives and board of directors must be in place. After this the company can focus on inter-industry alliances and then step onto the path of going public and that path will typically start with the OTCBB if the company has ambitions to grow onto the NASDAQ”.

And as for international expansion Scott explains, “Once again, it is about synergy. We always help our clients piggyback off of the successes, distribution and alliances that we have set up for previous clients and whenever we can put another successful entity into the mix, it strengthens the position of all parties involved”.

International consulting firms agree that the one true, viable fund raising strategy is a public offing with powerful post public investor relations in place to create a market for the company and global expansion takes more than elbow grease and know how but a plethora of contacts that cover all the basis’.

Seriously, sometimes I have to step back and laugh when I see company owners trying to pre-qualify consulting firms to take them public. I just stand there and scratch my head in disbelief when they think they are asking all the ‘right’ questions when all they are doing is setting themselves up for failure.

I recently had a company who claimed to have investors who wanted to invest in pre ipo deals. For a few weeks these guys called with a million questions and demands, most of which were contrary to basic SEC regulations and compliance. I tried to set them straight but they just didn’t get it. These guys who called themselves consultants really had no clue as to what they were doing and the questions they were asking me about my firm in order to qualify our firm were completely off base and were actually laughable. It was irritating at the time, now I just sit back and laugh as I chalk it up as another lesson learned and another relationship that fortunately did not come to fruition.

Here are some realities to consider when talking to a consulting firm to take your company public. First, no consulting group acts alone, instead they play quarterback or orchestrator to facilitate a smooth, stress free process. Most consulting firms that take companies public on the OTCBB will have securities attorneys on staff for the s1 filing, third party SEC approved auditors for the SEC audit, multiple market makers to choose from for the filing of the 15c211 and scores of Investor Relations contacts for post public market creation.

When doing due diligence on an Edgar link for S1’s in process you’ll only see the attorney information and the auditor. The Consultant has to be content to stand in the background making the entire process function and succeed with virtually no public claim or credit. If you’re doing due diligence on a consulting firm it’s more important to find out how vast their network is as opposed to being the predictable intellectual midget who will look up the consultants previous stock symbols and call the company and expect to miraculously get on the phone with a person who knows the consultant first hand. The mere thought is so ridiculous it’s redundant to even bring it up but this is something that uninformed people actually do as part of what they consider ‘due diligence’.

All you need to do is this: Talk to the senior partner at the consulting firm. Establish whether or not they are full service. Gain an understanding for how long it takes them to get you from S1 to trading symbol. If you want to do some real due diligence, find out about their post public investor relations strategy so your company not only goes public but can stay public and profitable.

Consulting firms who take companies public on the OTCBB are a small part of the whole but without them, the transaction couldn’t happen. They are the 24/7 worker bees doing the impossible for the ungrateful….until the symbol is achieved and the stock is trading properly, they you get a pat on the back and, “hey thank you so much for your hard work…what was your name again?” And I always respond, “you can call me whatever you want but on my Share Certificates you can put Princeton Corporate Solutions”.

OK, maybe that’s a bit of an exaggeration, of course they are going to remember my name but the reality is, solid due diligence by a company wanting to go public starts with a general evaluation of the consulting firm, some basic technical questions and then getting to the root and depth of their contact base to make sure your going public efforts are fast and smooth.
