Raising Money - IPO through the Pink Sheets

Becoming public through through a Pink sheet listing is an indirect process. The company first needs to become public before it can attract an underwriter and broker to support it. Often sources of capital will only invest in public companies as long as there is an established exit strategy. When when a company goes public this is not a guarantee that it will be able to raise capital, but it does put it in a very good position to raise capital

When a company goes public and the stock is registered with the SEC and follows the regulatory guidleines, then the company can advertise their stock to the investing public. This is one way to raise capital. Therefore with this method you dont need an investment bank to do this for you. The power to take your companys future into your own hands is something that is not allowed in private companies, since they cannot sell to the general public. 

So if the owner of the company believs in the company the owner may want to consider taking it public. Heavyhitter.co can assist you with introductions to securities attorneys, investment bankers, and introduce your company to a large database of investment fund managers, stock brokerage firms, and equity funds and institional investors. In addition there is another way to raise capital which is to go directly to the public and do whats called a direct public offering (DPO). A direct public offering is not permitted by private companies.
