The difference between APO model and the reverse merger is that the APO includes a funding at the time the transaction closes.  Therefore much of the APO’s success is due to the involvement of the Investment Bank as the funding source and gatekeeper that standalone reverse mergers do not possess.

In a traditional reverse merger, private companies can buy a shell and go public regardless of their current financial status.  The companies range from pre revenue startups to large revenue producing companies with sufficient profits who may not be seeking an initial round of funding when they first go public.  The beauty part of an APO or reverse merger is that it gives companies many choices.
