When companies contact us about going public they will typically start out by saying something like, “I’ve been watching your videos and have been following your company in the media for a while now” or “I’ve been reading your articles about globalization and going public over the past few months and…”. My point in stating the above is this, I’ve never had a company that calls and says, “We were going to get a corporate line of credit but figured we’d go public instead”. Companies that are going about this the right way will have spent time preparing their company to go public and they’ve taken the appropriate initiatives to set up post public finance options, investor relations and other efforts that are conducive to their company performing in the aftermarket.

The undertaking of a public offering on the OTCBB, just as with the NYSE and NASDAQ can be tedious, strenuous, exhausting and an ongoing perpetuation of one failure after another until you just throw in the towel and call it quits; but it doesn’t have to be that way.

Once upon a time the American Dream was simple; start a company, grow the company, create jobs and provide a better path for your children. Now the American dream is how to stay afloat, keep your house and remove the daggers that the government is ramming in the small of your back. Your congressman and governor say one thing and do another. The white house takes your tax dollars with one hand and pickpockets you for your lunch money with the other.
