If you have a well established business that is profitable and you are seeking to expand nationally or globally then bringing your company public would allow you access to the capital markets to expedite your expansion plans. If there is a “window of opportunity” that you want to access then backing into an OTCBB shell would allow you to become a public company quickly (one to three months) and avoid the entire SEC review process.

So basically there is a tradeoff. If timing is important you will pay more for a fully trading OTCBB shell. If timing is not an issue then by all means file a registration statement with the SEC and go through the long ordeal of becoming a public company. The process is painful but it is a learning experience that gets you prepared for the future of how to run a public company.
