• Private Placement Offering (PPO)

A PPO is the most effective and legally compliant method used by private companies seeking to raise debt or equity capital from investors. A PPO refers to any type of offering of securities to any number of private accredited or non-accredited investors. Securities offered through a private placement may be exempt from registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Exemption is based on the length of time, size of the offering and the appropriate offering documentation prepared in compliance with Federal and State regulations.

A PPO will allow your company to swiftly penetrate capital markets in a sophisticated and legally compliant fashion while allowing your agreement with investors to be informative and confidential.
