This is a tremendous advantage over a private offering. Direct public offerings are generally much simpler and subject to fewer regulations than IPOs. They are also relatively inexpensive to conduct. However, unlike IPOs, securities offered through DPOs are not typically available to the public over the counter or via securities exchanges. This limits the distribution channels, and places an increased responsibility on the issuing company to market the securities.
All securities offerings are subject to regulation by state and federal agencies.
There are differing legal provisions and circumstances that you will need to take into account, depending on the type of securities offering you choose. Unless you have prior experience with offerings, you will need one or more professional advisors to help you make decisions for your program. Master Plan Strategies is a consulting group that manages investment and divestment programs. The firm offers assistance with all the steps necessary to complete an offering of securities, from project planning to consulting on an investor marketing program.
