Taking A Company Public & Globalizing Your Company – It’s You Against The Machine
There is a system in place for globalization. In order to expand you need to become part of the system. There is no organized group of puppeteers controlling your economic fate and for any obstacle in your path there is a solution. Economics and international expansionism is a combination of formula and contacts.
The formula part of the equation is a process of corporate structure and strategic organization. The contact piece comes into effect by having the corporate structure and strategy in place. Seems like an illogical spewing of pointless doubletalk but let me explain.
First the formula for globalizing your company is: board of director and advisory board recruitment and qualification, CEO, CFO and COO recruitment, strategic alliance build out, pre public valuation, modest fundraise, third party audit (PCAOB), S1 filing, 15c211 Filing, Trading Symbol issued, investor relations, growth and globalization via monetized public securities.
The second part of this process is use of contacts. Your company needs to collectively gather their contacts and put them to work. Board members, advisers and C level executives need to pin a map to the wall and place tacks in the geographic locations in which your contacts are represented. Then carve up the map like a cake. Go to work setting up strategic alliances for distribution, legal representation, legislative contacts, promotional partners etc. the objective here is to create ‘mini me’ structures throughout these locations in a way that has strategy and is synergetic to both your contacts and your team of executives and board members.
A quick note to company founders who will be responsible for putting this plan in motion; find a consultant that specializes in strategic planning, globalization and IPO facilitation, they will guide you through the process and believe me, these consultants are expensive but worth their weight in gold. They will help you recruit the proper pedigree of executives, board members, advisors and initial strategic alliances in a straight forward and expedient manner. Why reinvent the wheel and complicate things?
Globalize your product, service or franchise opportunity fast and easy with the proper structure, formula and contacts.
