Senior Consulting, LLC, can serve as your non-exclusive Finder (We do not think exclusivity is in the best interest of our clients unless there is a very defined commitment directly from an investor/lender) for identifying and procuring needed capital to fund debt and/or equity for start-ups or existing businesses. We have access to capital sources including, but not limited to, the following:
Venture Capital, Private Equity Institutions and Angels - Through our own independent research, we have developed a database of over 300 sources of equity capital categorized by the size and type of companies that these institutions have funded. We can utilize our database on your behalf, or we can consider a one-time fee to provide suggested equity partners (usually 10-40) for your Business Plan.
Debt - We have extensive access to lenders focused on collateral-based debt financing or commercial loans that we can utilize on your behalf.
SBA Loans - We can structure Business Plans to suit SBA and other options, usually a second version with minor edits, and we strongly suggest small to mid-sized businesses that could begin or expand operations with $350,000 or less to consider the SBA FastTrack Program. We usually have access to local bankers in your area that have a strong SBA lending track record.
Government and Private Foundation Grant - Our team includes grant writers and other team members experienced in identifying and preparing grants for nonprofit organizations as well as for profit companies such as a new prototype in energy saving technologies.
Reverse Merger with Public Company - A common method used by small and mid cap companies to go public is the purchase and/or reverse merger into an existing public company or a subsidiary of a public company. In a reverse merger, an operating private company merges with a public company which has no assets or known liabilities (the "shell" corporation). The public corporation is called a "shell" since all that exists of the original company is its corporate shell structure and shareholders. The private company obtains the majority of the shell's stock (usually 90%). The private company normally will change the name of the public corporation (often to its own name) and will elect its Board of Directors which will appoint the officers. The new public corporation will usually have a base of shareholders sufficient to meet the 300 shareholder requirement for admission to quotation on the NASDAQ SmallCap Market (Bulletin Board) or on the OTC Bulletin Board. Through a long time affiliation with an SEC-approved CPA, Senior Consulting, LLC has access to quality and tiffany shell companies.
We offer a free review of and consultation for all Business Plans regarding which option(s) may be best for your business.
