At PPMPro, we bridge the gap between the entrepreneur
and investor with the development of a custom private placement
memorandum.
A PPM is not only required per US Securities and Exchange
Commission requirements but shows that you are a credible, viable
business enterprise and have expended the time, effort and r
esources to provide potential investors with a complete picture of
your business model.
Our links to investment capital has been designed to assist the capital acquisition requirements of the emerging entrepreneur.
We know that one of the most critical needs you have for your business is to raise capital – with the required SEC documents
and we know what a challenge it can be just to get in front of potential investors.
PPMPro is designed to present your PPM to potential accredited or "angel" investors in a quick and seamless manner. Most
PPM’s are done in 5-7 days.
Read on and see if PPMPro might be right for you.
Why do more entrepreneurs choose PPMPro?
PPMPro is unique in our ability to serve the entrepreneurial community and have been doing so since 1979. So why do so many
business owners choose PPMPro?
• Customer Ease of Operations. We know that most business owners do not have the 148 hours the SEC estimates it takes
to prepare a PPM so we have developed a comprehensive data informational submittal form for you to complete which enables
us to develop your customized PPM.
• Business Stock Valuation. We have developed a nine point stock valuation program that verifies or suggests a stock pricing
structure for you that enables you to go to the market with a realist stock valuation figure.
• Our Capital Acquisition Referral Program. Once we have completed your PPM we can link you to potential accredited
investors that have already expressed an investment preference in your industry. They then contact you directly to complete their
due diligence. Note - no guarantee of successful funding is expressed or implied.
• Potential Investor Interest. We know exactly what investors are seeking in an investment and craft the PPM to their
preferences.
• Exit Strategy. Investors want out. It’s that simple and our PPM’s are designed to meet their exit expectations.
• Value. Our custom PPM’s include numerous elements which simply are not offered by other PPM service providers.
PPMPro may be right for you if...
• you are seeking the development of a professional PPM,
• you are seeking between $250,000 and $10,000,000 in private ‘angel’ capital,
• your company has significant potential for high growth and an attractive return on investment,
• you want the PPM designed to buy-out the investors in three to five years at a predetermined price,
• you have an experienced management staff.
The ‘Angel’ Investor
‘Angel’ investors in PPMPro’s Capital Acquisition Referral Program are all accredited investors per SEC requirements. The
average deal is $2,200,000 and the ‘angels’ usually invest a minimum of $250,000.
Even though many businesses do obtain financing from commercial banks, not every business is bankable. And while venture
capital firms receive a great deal of attention, less than 1% of start-up companies actually receive VC funding. Also most VC
funding starts at $7.5 million which is far in excess of most firms’ capital requirements.
This funding gap is generally filled by private investors, often referred to as "angel investors." Figures vary, but it is estimated that
angels invest about $50-60 billion each year in private companies. They are typically individuals with a net worth of over $1 million
or an annual income of over $200,000.
Angels generally prefer to invest in companies within industries and technologies that they know and understand. They also like
to see offering documents that they are familiar with the design and standard content and that strip away superficial language
and get right to the point – like the offering documents prepared by PPMPro. Investors in the PPMPro’s Capital Acquisition
Referral Program are actively looking for investment opportunities in small businesses.
What about securities laws?
The U.S. Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) and state securities offices allows the officers and directors of a firm to offer
stock in their firm; however there are certain restrictions under which this must be done, including:
a) entrepreneur's business plan cannot include an offering of securities, this can only be accomplished in the body of a PPM,
b) the company is registered as a corporation or LLC with the appropriate state division of corporations before making any stock
offering,
c) the securities offering is exempt from federal registration requirements under either SEC Regulation A, SEC Regulation D,
Rule 504, or SEC Rule 1001,
d) the PPM must list the state securities self-extracting statues for each state in which a potential investor is located,
e) investors who review PPM’s must be "accredited" investors (as defined by the SEC),
f) PPMPro cannot act as a broker/dealer of securities,
g) PPMPro cannot act as an investment advisor, and
h) PPMPro cannot charge additional fees based upon successful matching or funding.
This service is designed to operate within these guidelines. It is important for entrepreneurs and investors to consult with an
attorney who is knowledgeable and experienced with state and federal securities law prior to extending or accepting an offering
of securities. It is ultimately the entrepreneur's responsibility to comply with federal and state laws.
How is my company and personal information protected?
You as the entrepreneur will primarily control what personal and business information is made available to potential investors.
You are free to share as much or as little information as you feel is necessary for potential investors as long as all of the required
elements of a PPM is complete. For sensitive and confidential information you can request a confidentiality agreement be signed
prior to disclosing any trade secrets or technical information.
The goal of our network is to help you get your venture in front of potential investors and to get a face-to-face meeting with those
investors. You decide how much information is required to do that.
The information you enter will be viewed by accredited investors who have registered with PPMPro’s Capital Acquisition Referral
Program. Entrepreneurs become successful not by keeping their business ideas secret but by sharing that passion with others.
As an entrepreneur you must recognize that in order to be in business you must take a certain level of risk. The process of raising
private capital requires that you share certain information with potential investors. We value the privacy of all our members. We
safeguard all data transmissions through a secure server, the latest encryption technology, and confidential member user
names and passwords. For additional information on how we protect your personal information, please read our privacy policy.
