Emerging growth companies will need to seek alternative methods to go public and gain access to capital. This can be accomplished in several ways. If a company has the time they can either file an S1 or Form 10 registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). This process, inclusive of gaining approval for trading your stock from FINRA will take about 12 to 18 months. Most attorneys suggest this as best way to go public because it generates the most fees for them. However, if you do not have a year or better to waste, the quickest way to go public is via a reverse merger into an OTCBB shell. This will take 30 days and it also gives a company the opportunity to raise capital simultaneously to the event.
