Welcome to PublicShell.Com

The IPO market may be dead but your company can still "go public" through a reverse public shell merger. Billions of dollars of securities are bought and sold daily in the public securities markets of the world and your securities can be a part of this market by reverse merger.

For decades, medium and large companies used the public market to raise capital and extend their public exposure. With a prohibit cost of close to $500K to $1M, only few could have effort taking the public route. But things has changed, with the recent SEC rulings, small and micro cap companies can also enjoy the same benefits as a public company much like their big brothers at the big boards such as AMEX, NYSE and NASDAQ.

Small companies can use the electronic OTC Pinks Sheets and the OTC Bulletin Board to raise capital and provide an exit strategies to their founders and early investors.

Advantages of a Reverse Merger:

Condensed Timetable - Surprisingly few companies can hope to negotiate their way through the tortuous process of a regular IPO, which can drag on for a year or more. Over the past five years, the number of days for a company in registration has doubled, with the few IPOs that made it to market in 2001 averaging 159 days in registration. During this time, management will spend an inordinate amount of time in meetings and drafting sessions, having a disastrous effect on the growth the offering is predicated on. In addition, during the many months it takes to put together an IPO, market conditions can deteriorate, closing the IPO window on a company. In contrast, a reverse merger can be completed in 30 to 60 days.

Substantial Savings - An IPO involves substantial expense, including underwriting fees, legal fees, accounting fees, printing costs, and filing fees. For example, estimated expenses for a $60 million initial public offering consisting of 3,750,000 newly issued shares of common stock at $16.00 per share, can run between $5 to $6 million.

Unaffected by Market Conditions - Over the past 5 years, there has been a dramatic decrease in IPOs, with 2001 activity at the lowest point in over 10 years. In a conventional IPO, issuers exercise surprisingly little control over the timing of when they become public. But a reverse merger is impervious to market conditions. The deal rests on whether the public shell company likes your company enough to be acquired by it ?market conditions have almost no bearing.

Shorter Track Record Required - While an IPO in today’s market requires a relatively long and stable earnings history, the lack of an earnings history does not prevent a privately-held company without this track record from completing a reverse merger with a public shell.
