7.Can I raise money based upon a business plan.

We would advise you to prepare a private offering memorandum. This is a legal document written by lawyers, which covers the main parts of a business plan. This is facts disclosed to investors through a lawyer.

8.So I use this to raise money

You can raise as much as your project requires, but this route is best suited when you need to raise at least USD 10 million.

9.Why should I not use banks and venture capitalists?

There are many alternative options, such as obtaining a loan from a bank or giving up equity to venture capitalists in return for finance.

10.In what country will I raise the money

We raise money through the United States market and specialise in this system.

11. Do I need to be a US based company and if so can you incorporate my company in the United States

Yes, this is the simple answer.

12. Why should I use the United States

Because of Liquidity and availability of capital in the US market. In simple terms this means you are much more likely to raise your money.

13. What is the mechanism by which the company becomes a US company

Through a stock SWAP

14. What are the main ways of raising financing

Through a Private Offering or an Initial Public Offering

15. Can I do a private offering and not an IPO

Yes, it is possible to raise money through just a private offering. A private offering is the process by which the company/ issuer issues securities for distribution in the private markets.

16. What are the questions that an investor usually asks

They will ask questions such as: how much do You need in total for Your project ? How do I recover my investment ?How long until I recovery investment ? What is my Guarantee? What are the risks ? Have You done it before ? What are the critical success factors ? What is in it for me ? How much profit can I make ?

17. When do we raise the money for a private offering

It depends. Investors may not invest. Large investment funds could invest in one day, but generally if they do this it is because they are protected by a strong due diligence process. The process typically takes six months to one year, but this can be affected by conditions.

18. Can anyone invest in a private offering

No, this is subject to legal regulation whereby the investor must be an accredited or, in other words, financially sophisticated or a financial professional.

19. How do I know if my company is ready for an IPO

You will be able to go public in the United States, with less stringent requirements for profitability than in Europe. The company should preferably be profitable or at least cash flow positive and have two years audited balance sheet.

20. Great and how do I make money from an IPO

The money that you make from an IPO arises from differences in valuation between the private and public market.

21. What do investors have to know about financing

The public market values the anticipation and to invest the investor needs to know that opportunity exists. In other words, he must be able to evaluate the gain/risk ratio.

22. Is there another way to go public apart from an IPO

Yes, either through a merger or reverse merger or through securities market forces.

23. Can you help me understanding the basic process of financing. What do I have to give up.

There are two main forms of financing. In the debt you will owe a sum of money to the investor which is the amount you have to obtain in addition to interest. With capital or equity, the investor will own shares in your company.

24. So with equity, will my shares be diluted by a new round.

Equity dilution involves stock or share dilution. This can result from : A primary market offering or an IPO, Employees exercising their stock options or Investors converting bonds into stocks.

25. Ok, so back to an IPO. What steps do I need to take to prepare for an IPO.

The process of an IPO takes shape over many months. Part of this is the due diligence procedure, which is the process of ensuring that the information contained in a file or prospectus is accurate and does not lend itself to a misrepresentation.

26. Can I pay for the IPO through a percentage of the money raised.

Commonly, DHP will require fees to be paid as the risk should be taken by the company and not the law firm.

27. What must I do for the due diligence

You must complete a due diligence plan, listing the purpose, objectives and issues. After this collect documents containing the alleged evidence and a history of due diligence. During an IPO each question and response must be entered into a due diligence history.

28. How does the roadshow work

The roadshow is a presentation organized by an issuer of securities and the syndicate of brokers and investment banks aiming at presenting to investors an opportunity of investment. The roadshow generates excitement and interest for the IPO.

29. Can I invest before an IPO and if so why would I

There are many reasons. This could be because there is a low price, there is a high yield, a very low break even point, low influence from the stock market, favourable IPO timing or a reliable audit.

30. When a person buys shares do they do so all in one go.

Not necessarily, the value may be different depending upon the timing of purchase. This is called the incremental price method.

31. Do investors require a legal document for the process

Of course. A subscription agreement is required for potential investors. This can be paid either directly to the Issuer or into a trustee account.

32. What is the incremental price method

This is the division of the securities into different phases. The price is calculated based on the risk associated with each phase. Thus there is more of an incentive reflected on a for early investment.

33. How long will the process take

The process of a Private Offering Memorandum will take 6 to 8 months, while an IPO can take two years.

34. Is there a quicker process

Yes, we also have a fast IPO service.

35. How are the securities distributed

A private offering is distributed through a private network connected to the firm DHP. A IPO takes place only through syndication.

36. What securities markets services can you help with

IPOs, bonds, and loans.

37.What are the questions that an investor usually asks

They will ask questions such as: how much do You need in total for Your project ? How do I recover my investment ?How long until I recovery investment ? What is my Guarantee? What are the risks ? Have You done it before ? What are the critical success factors ? What is in it for me ? How much profit can I make ?

38. What are the risks involved in this.

Disadvantages:The disadvantages are the non liquidity of investment, the access to liquidity, the risk of finality and the absence of a valuable history of background.

39. What are typical investment exit strategies

These include buyback of the shares of stock by the issuing company, acquisition of the shares of stock by a third-party, merger or reverse merger of the issuing company, exchange of the shares of common stock of the issuing company against those of a publicly listed company and Initial Public Offering (I.P.O.) of the shares of stock.

Philosophy

Our convictions

We are international financial jurists because we believe going into litigation is already a failure. We do not believe in solutions arising from the courts of law.

Our legal team is entrepreneurial and tends to avoid litigation as much as possible.

We firmly believe that making money on the misery and strife of others is not a harmonious lifestyle.

This positive attitude allows us to be credible to our customers on important business, because they know they engage a representative without enemies from past disputes unrelated to them.

We believe that the modern lawyer must join forces with other professions and skills such as finance, marketing & communication.

Our practice as international financial jurists is exactly the opposite to that of attorneys-at-law.

We are builders making money on our clients' achievements and successes not on their woes and failures.

Generally we do not deal with disputes and litigations.

We do not appear in court except for the companies we administer or for free idealistic causes.

Mission

We are efficiency oriented
