Investor Relations Strategies - Taking Your Company Public - Don't Get Eaten Alive

By: James Scott

Before you decide to go public allow me to paint a picture for you. You're on a crowded beach, the water is warm, the waves are calm and you decide to break away from the crowd and confidently swim a little further than everyone else. All is calm; the sun gently warms your back as one stroke after the next takes you further from the beach and closer to the distant horizon. A few minutes later the sun is covered by clouds and like a bomb 'BAM' a crack of thunder, lightning lights up the sky and buckets of rain begin to pour from gray clouds. You look back and the entire beach is deserted.

The lifeguard shack is empty and the waves begin to build. You're trying to swim back to shore but the current violently drags you out further into the ocean. You fight to stay afloat as one wave after the next crashes upon you. Your lungs fill up with water, you're muscles cramp and just as you're about to give into your fate, the rain stops and the water becomes calm. You can gather just enough energy to begin to swim back to the beach. All of a sudden you feel a bump on your thigh and then a sharp pain on your foot as you're drug down into the darkness and as you fight to free yourself you notice that you've unknowingly swam into the center of a starving school of sharks and they take turns gnawing off pieces of your flesh.

Your arms, back, legs, neck, face, chest and feet all shredded by the razor sharp teeth of sharks. The blood only attracts more sharks of different colors and shapes. All you can do is kick, punch and scream to keep your limbs intact then suddenly you feel sand beneath your feet, you've reached the shoreline and you craw with every ounce of strength you have left toward the abandoned lifeguard shack. Once you're on land you look out at the ocean and the entire expanse of the water is teaming with sharks. You look down at your body and though in one piece has been ripped to shreds.

This is the most accurate description I can give of what it's like to try to go public or expand globally without the proper game plan and consultants watching your back and helping you contemplate your chain of moves as you go forward. There is an entire industry out there that is just waiting for you to step off the path and into the shadows so they can get a piece of you. Wasted capital here, wasted capital there, it all adds up.

When taking your company public or planning a product or service expansion into outside geographic proximities why go it alone? Seek out qualified consultants that can navigate you through the shark infested waters so that you can achieve your goals quickly and with as few bumps in the road as possible.
