How To Go Public
(NAPS)--Here'S good news for busi-
nesses of all sizes and the people who
%
work for them: Companies can raise cap-
ital to invest for growth and expansion--
and unlike with bank loans and the like,
this money doesn't have to be paid back.
What's more, it's all perfectly legal.
That's because the money comes
from selling your slock. Consider this:
Wall Street's best-kept secret is that
there is no minimum time in business,
earnings or assets requirements to be-
come a public company. Any company
can go public. To help, the leading firm
taking small and startup companies
public, Tiber Creek Corporation, offers
free reports about how it works.
An experienced firm can help you
navigate the rules and regulations of go-
ing public and provide introductions to
capital sources You get your own stock
symbol and investors can buy your stock
with a broker or online.
Then you can use the shares almost
like currency, such as when you want to
merge with or acquire another company~
or to attract or reward quality employ-
ees. Simply give them stock options.
