FAQ's

What are the requirements for sales, income and time in business to do a Mini-IPO?

Unlike a regular IPO, there are no requirements for sales, income or time in business for you to do a Mini-IPO.  In fact, companies that are relatively new and that have not yet had sales or income have been approved for a Mini-IPO based on the innovative product or service they provide which fills an increasing demand in the U.S. and/or abroad and based on a sound, comprehensive business plan.  On the other hand, there are also companies with income levels in the tens of millions that have gone the Mini-IPO route due to the savings they saw in both money and time.

How long will my Mini-IPO take?

The Mini-IPO in itself normally takes anywhere from 4 to 6 months to complete.  This of course depends on how much work, if any, your financial records and business plan need to have them in shape for the filing.  It also depends on the condition of your company and the accuracy of the information you provide.  It will take additional time after the completion of your Mini-IPO to register for trading on either the Pink Sheets or Bulletin Board and that amount of time can better be determined during the Mini-IPO process.

How much of my company will others control or own after doing a Mini-IPO?

The percentage of stock ownership, and thus control, in the hands of others after a Mini-IPO can be as low as 1-3% whereas a regular IPO minimally results in 5-10% stock ownership and control by outsiders with 20-50% or more not being uncommon.
