Going Public Directly
In 1999, G&P developed a process for clients that wanted to go public directly, without having to pay investment banker fees in advance with no guarantee of the desired result. This self-underwritten public offering process — known as a Gottbetter Public Offering or GPO™ — includes the completion of all legal services required to go public. We also provide access to professionals, service partners and vendors needed to support the process of going public.
Our attorneys help private companies throughout the United States and around the world gain the benefits of being publicly listed in the US. These benefits include access to public equity markets, liquidity for existing investors, use of stock as a currency for financings and acquisitions, and use of public company stock options to motivate management and employees.
Gottbetter Public Offering (GPO™)
A self-underwritten public offering is a cost-effective, as evidenced by the fees, and time-efficient way for private companies to go public without IPO underwriting fees or public shell company acquisition fees necessary for a reverse merger.
Our lawyers handle all of the steps required to complete a self-underwritten public offering (GPO™), including:
- Corporate formation and organization
- Use of financing options, including a private placement offering to raise money for working capital, acquisitions and public offering expenses
- Filing a registration statement with the SEC and any required amendments in response to SEC comments
- Filing a Form 211 with FINRA for a stock listing and any required amendments in response to FINRA comments
- Filing a manual listing with Standard and Poor's for a secondary resale exemption
- Preparing state Blue Sky filings associated with the private placement offering
After approximately 180 days, the company will be a fully-reporting issuer with the SEC, trading on the OTC Bulletin Board with 100 percent of its stock in the hands of management and shareholders chosen by the company. By making the SEC, FINRA and S&P filings concurrently, our attorneys can help minimize the total time it takes for a company to complete the going public process.
