Don’t make the mistake and come talk to FSE Listings Inc first, the Premier FSE Listing Partner and FSE Listings consultants!

How best to qualify for 5 million euro in financing with your Frankfurt Stock Exchange Listings

Many firms ask what is the best way to qualify for 5 million euro in financing on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, it’s actually much easier than you think.

1. List with a reputable firm like FSE Listings Inc, work with either Robert Russell or one of the 30 member partners who have been referred by Robert within your region
2. Work with a third party valuation company recommended by FSE Listings who is registered with a large EU Bank or Central Bank that is certified to give opinions on valuations, not just an accountant or arbitrary legal opinion by some small Frankurt listings law oriented firm or small US or German law firms – BANK BACKED OPINIONS GET YOU MONEY AND CREDIBILITY!
3. Prepare all of the documentation so that all documents, contracts, investments, and transactions can be reviewed at a later date for building a prospectus

These three principles will allow you to qualify for Bond financing for up to 5 million euro or private placement offerings of 5 million euro and possibly more.

Bond Creation for 5 million euro via your Frankfurt Stock Exchange Listings

Before listing, your firm can know if it qualifies for the financing by contacting FSE Listings Inc and filling in all the required documents of a new client for listing and creation of bonds.  By emailing info@fselistings.com and simply informing them you are interested in the financing, they will over a 5 day period confirm your corporate structure, plan, goals, cashflow, and business model with an insurance firm and third party valuation company. If qualified, a firm can list with the confidence of getting financed!

Private Placements and Investor Awareness of 5 million euro for your Frankfurt Listing

With the third party valuation, the proper structure, and guidance of a registered broker dealer, a firm will have all the information necessary to produce a prospectus. With investor relations, media, and broker support, firms can offer shares which enable financing after listing on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. It is very important that you work with a team specializing in sophisticated investors interested in your target market.  Financing your firm will be within your control as either direct or broker based financing is enabled through the web, roadshows, media, public relations, and full use of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange website’s tools.

Don’t let the consultants dilute your firm, talk to us first!

Firstly we don’t take a percentage of your firm.

If you are working with a consultant that wants to take a percentage of your firm, talk to us first. They limit your growth because most financers and investors when reviewing your structure will likely not want to invest knowing the promoters have managed to leech shares from your structure without the proper hold-up or restrictions in place for your business plan to materialize. In addition, they will likely advise you that they can get a 50-100 million euro market cap for your firm… but you may be worth more. In addition, they hide the value of the shares because their listing fees are minimal, but they make millions off your naïve experience. Why let their bad advice block the potential market cap that your firm deserves based on third party valuations from other EU Banks or parties certified by a Bank, and a team who works for you as a paid for service consultant versus an unwanted partner?

Most going public firms will cap your market capitalization at 100 million issued and outstanding shares, but these firms usually don’t take careful consideration of what the real value of your firm is, often undervaluing your assets making it more difficult for you to issue shares later.

Why list on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange with FSE Listings and Issue Bonds versus working with Equity Placement firms or Equity Lines

Initially one needs to understand the cost to a company of taking shareholder equity. By committing to Equity Placement firms and or Equity Line holders shares of the firm, you are giving them a direct claim to your firms profits proportionate to their investment and holding of your firm. Therefore, you as a company need to consider:

The Real Cost Of Money – The cost of issuing shares is higher in the long-term than that of developing a debt instrument such as a bond. For example, the limitation of a Bond with a 10% yield, a shareholder is limitless based on a portion ownership of your firms growth. A Bond may be over 5 years, and the capital invested increases your capacity by 50%, so the funds in place are justifiable for the coupon payment of 10%. After 5 years, your firm earns all the profits of the decision made. With shares and shareholders, as long as there are shareholders, they have a right to the profits of the company ongoing. Often companies underestimate the real costs to gain the shareholders, which are in short the immediate and ongoing cost of legal, accounting, financial advisory, governance and corporate professionals such as brokers, bankers, and sponsors. In the current markets, these costs can absorb up to 50% of funds raised in an IPO, and sometimes they are costs that exceed the capital raised directly related to their services. Often, after the exercise of writing a prospectus and preparing your firm to raise capital, the capital raising in the private equity market depends on your ability to help raise money and pay attention to the shareholders and potential investors to gain the investment. The time consuming exercise deteriorates even some of the strongest businesses as the focus is on capital and not the company management and profitability during that timeframe. This is a high cost.

Loss of Control – The Company loses control to make decisions as it is required to consult with the shareholders of the Company. This is a difficult choice for entrepreneurs, and it is even more difficult when trying to set the today value of the dreams, aspirations, and blue sky of a firm to an investor. Often private equity involves losing more control than debt of the operations and decision making of a company.

Downward Pressure on the firm’s value – Go public and merger law related firms, or firms who offer equity lines of credit, convertible debentures, and private placement services at a discount of your share price create pressure on your stock and companies value. Especially the Bridge Loan programs for listing on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, whereby they take their 5% of the shares and sell them into the market or at a discount to shareholders who liquidate based on emotion as they have no relationship with your firm and its success. Equity line firms strive on being issued shares for no upfront cash over a 15 day period or more so that they can sell shares into your market pushing down the stock value and bid so they can make more profit, of up to 50-90% in some cases. These PIPEs, Debt Financing, and special purpose private equity placements are toxic to companies who want to raise additional capital as their company value is driven down to pennies and control is ultimately diluted both in voting power and in their ability to raise and attract interest of capital. Beware of the equity partners and capital firms who offer Equity Lines, Private Placement, Bridge Capital, and Financing options prelisting of your firm. The most illiquid moment of a company is prelisting, and therefore, the owner of such a document actually has control of your firm before giving you a dime. The ability to apply pressure to anyone’s share price in our opinion is the ability to control someones firm. Bridge Loan (Sharks) and joker brokers who assist firms who do not have the 60k euro to list on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange prey on unsuspecting firms for their 5%+ of your deal and reputation to take advantage of your firm once it is listed. Don’t fall into the penny stock pump and dump scenario by avoiding these kinds of partners from the beginning. In addition, these firms may disguise their tactics by promising stock promotions of which you will be able to liquidate your shares and or your shareholders will be able to liquidate their shares into a vibrant market. We receive 5-10 phone calls per week from these types of stock promoter and bridge capital firms who are trying to sell their shares privately and exit the company. Their interest is not in your firm or your share price, its exiting their position. Be vigilant about who you choose as your partners, and before you choose anyone, get the advice of FSE Listings Inc as to their professional reputation by contacting www.fselistings.com.

Effects on the Balance Sheet and Financials

Dividends are paid from after-tax earnings, bond payments and interest payments are tax deductible. This affects the relative costs to the company of financing by issuing interest-based securities and financing through ordinary shares.

Everyone always thinks about listing a firm and raising private equity capital, however, public company shares are just the ability to offer shares and liquidate shares in a public arena. Thus, it gives a cash flow value to the shares of the company. Unlike private company shares that generally have no cash flow value. By listing your firm on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, your shares have cash value to insurance firms and debtors, who will develop a corporate securitized bond collateralized by the cash flow and assets of the company.

The Benefits of the Bond and Frankfurt Listing:

• No loss of control
• Interest and Coupon Payments that are tax
  deductible, not from after tax earnings
• Limiting the claim to the companies prosperity
  to rate of interest or coupon payments versus a shareholder claim of the
  profits (the true cost of money)
• Access to the full amount of capital required
• No downward pressure on your share value or
  market

The Time Is Now to Invest In South Africa and Africa in General

Africa has seen an enormous increase in investment capital in the last 5 years, and more money means more building. One of the bitter ironies of the global financial crisis is that even the most risk-averse institutional investors who sustained devastating losts focusing on developed markets have been taking more risks in search of growth rates that are hard to find in Europe and the US.

Private capital flows to emerging markets will balloon to $833 billion this year from $581 billion in 2009, according to the Washington-­based Institute of International Finance.

World Bank Vice President for Africa Obiageli Ezekwesili a few weeks past said from the London Stock Exchange, that investors worldwide need to invest in Africa and its budding capital markets. She urged investors who are in search of the right market at a time of growing fears of a global recession to “rediscover Africa”.

The reaility is that she is right, and that from Bonds, Debts, Equity Placements, and solid domestic products, Africa is in for a Boom Market.

Africa is experiencing GDP growth rates, and the projections are to increase year on year roughly 5%  or more to 2013. Building African focused businesses and listing African based companies on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange is one of the best routes to go as the focus is on Africa Capital Markets while other markets go into their worst quarters and Africa are among the best returns on investment. South Africa continues to be the strong growth market in Africa, with the Sub Saharan-Africa being an attractive market to invest in, including Uganda, Tanzania, and Nigeria.

Oxford University Professor, Paul Collier, which found the return on capital for over 950 African enterprises to be on the average 11 percent higher than in Latin America and Asia, and 70 percent more profitable if compared against similar Chinese firms.

When is the best time for African companies to go public and gain global awareness and access to capital? When you are winning the beauty contest in capital markets, and now is the time to list your African businesses more than anytime before.

African investment opportunities are ideal for European Investment markets, who are familiar with having made more capital investments into Africa directly in the past. In addition, China and Korea are investing heavily in Africa. The most common market with the largest cross section of investors from Foreign Markets is the NYSE-Deutsche Boerse Group and the Frankfurt Stock Exchange of which the group owns.

Why the Big African Boom?

Deregulations in the emerging markets in general starting in the 1990’s has lead to friendlier and more profitable markets of which businesses, consumers, investors, and development partners are bullish. Changes in policies, from reserve controls and foreign ownership to methods of protecting foreign investors through insurance and bonds, developing Countries and Africa are seeing more money.

More money means more building. Building of businesses, building of infrastructure, building of educated workforces, creation of jobs, and access to resources and growth; Africa has the building blocks.

African stock markets however still have limited liquidity and relative small size, African companies and South African companies need to look beyond just Africa and look to Frankfurt for primary and or dual listing of their firms to take advantage of the boom and momentum of international investment focus on Africa.

It is true African Stock Exchange, with the exception of the Johannesburg Stock Exchange have been doubling their market capitalization from 1992 to 2002, with markets like Lagos Stock Exchange bullishly boasting plans to bring its capitalization of $40 billion to $1 trillion in five years.

However, it is difficult to look past the illiquid markets of African Capital Markets compared to the liquid Private Equity investments into African companies listed on Foreign markets.

Africa has invested in change, now is the time to change the investors mind and bring the foreign capital in to the structure that has been built for them.

Opportunities are abundant for:

-          Agriculture, agribusiness, agro-processing

-          Infrastructure development and construction, transportation, and logistics

-          Resources and Energy

-          Upgrade and penetration within the ICT sector, expanded broadband, mobile networks, banking, and internet access

-          Business to business services

-          Water purification, desalination, and transmission

Africa has the distinct opportunity of luring some of the 85-90 million labor intensive jobs in light manufacturing that China will likely move offshore in the next 3-5 years from wage pressure.

Africa is not afraid to make public capital investments and utilize aid funds to enable reforms and capital infusions into telecommunications, infrastructure, and logistics so that private capital can help turn the loss-making progress initiatives into profitable projects taken to their full capacity of capital earnings.

Why Invest In South African Businesses and Trade?

In this global market, there has been a great deal of attention given to the African footprint of the BRIC economies and the fact that South Africa is the predestined main trade, investment, and political partner for Sub-Saharan Africa. It’s economic structure, location, participation in multilateral trade agreements (SADC Region), and stable domestic capital market are the favorable conditions South Africa brings to the table.

In addition, the rest of Africa believes this rumor, and it’s a good one. In actual fact, much of the Entrepreneurship in the African Continent at one time or another has seeked capital within South Africa, traded with South Africa, or has looked at opportunities to grow into South Africa. South Africa trades with Africa, providing technology intensive product and receiving resource-based products in return.

Further harmonization between the SADC and the Common Market for East and Southern Africa and the East African Community will only continue to grow the opportunities.

High growth markets of African Countries or projects focusing on feeding the South African business opportunities include:

-          Energy companies and the supply of energy to South Africa

-          Oil, precious stones, base metals

-          Agricultural products

In general, African investments into these sectors are stable for both domestic and international consumption.

South Africa profits from the relationships in its neighboring markets though specialized manufacturing, machinery, vehicles and electronics, and to some smaller degree oil and agricultural products. South Africa tends to cater to African tastes for customized machinery, and this extends their growth into the markets, despite international competitors.

As mentioned prior, the booms happen years after and during deregulation and friendlier business environments that are the disruptive changes in economics that allow for higher returns than other markets globally. Some good suggest that plans for this Africa-wide free trade area covering 26 nations as negotiations continued and the structure eventually may unfold, that this could be a positive change to further create the boom in Pan-African business opportunities. This continent is no longer an emerging market by definition, but rather a Frontier market with young populations, high growth, and diversity.

With this high growth potential, Financial Services companies within South Africa and Africa in general will become attractive investments, as suggested by the World Bank Vice President who pushed on London for investment into Africa’s Capital Markets. The opportunities need to be financed and steered so that the growth is manageable and effective. Public company vehicles also allow for good governance, process, and status internationally. Listing your firm on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange or your business opportunity gives the company access to much needed capital from foreign markets.

In our opinion, South African businesses are the likely port of entry for investors interested in the continent, despite other emerging markets or the local Capital Markets. The businesses themselves, the equity, and the secured investments. In order to access capital, secured and insured investments, and international exposure, the Frankfurt is one of the leading sources for your firm to reach all three.

Financing of Afican Companies Listed On Frankfurt

Cashflow companies that can service debt or return on investment to shareholders with growth would be eligible for listing Bonds, Securitized Loans, and Structured Financing. On occasion the assets of firms are not enough, and the insurance firm and Banks issuing the Bond require collateral above and beyond the asset to fast track capital. By listing a firm on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange with FSE Listings Inc, you can utilize the listed companies shares in conjunction with the company’s assets as liquid security, improving both the chance of getting the required funds and increasing your rating to a AA Rating. Firms who work with FSE Listings Inc are willing to insure and finance African focused companies up to 5 million euro who fit the criteria for funding.

Offshore Trusts – What are the Facts?
——————————————————————————–
One of the most flexible and unique asset protection and estate planning vehicles available is the offshore trust. IPC Corporate Services LLC utilizes the services of various qualified professionals and companies in a number of jurisdictions to create an optimal trust structure to service clients’ needs. Although IPC Corporate Services LLC does not advise clients on tax or legal matters, IPC Corporate Services LLC works with individuals and companies, along with their tax and legal advisers, to find and establish the best offshore trusts available to provide maximum asset protection and effective estate planning.
——————————————————————————–
How long have Trusts been around?

In the early history of the British Empire, trusts were instituted in order to allow families to preserve their wealth without subjecting them to burdensome taxes when the estate owner died. Since that time, the basic trust structures established hundreds of years ago have been refined to meet the requirements of our complex modern society.
——————————————————————————–
What is a Trust?

A trust is a private legal relationship that arises when at least one person holds property for the benefit of another. Although the terms of a trust relationship are not required to be in written form to be valid, the safest way for all parties to a trust to protect their interests is for the terms of the relationship to be preserved in a document known as a Trust Deed, sometimes referred to as a Trust Settlement
——————————————————————————–
How is a Trust structured?

Generally, the primary parties to a trust can be classified as follows:

SETTLOR:
The Settlor is the person or entity who is putting the property into a trust. This property is generally called the “trust fund” or “trust estate.” A Settlor may be an individual, a corporation or other business entity, or even another trust.

BENEFICIARY:
The Beneficiary is the person or entity for whose benefit the trust fund is held by the Trustee. Generally, a Beneficiary may be an individual, a company or other business entity, a group of people, a charity or any identifiable party. Although the Trustee acts in the interests of the Beneficiary, the Trustee is generally given discretion over how to manage the trust fund and the conditions under which distributions may be made to a Beneficiary. Usually, the Trust Deed allows the Trustee to appoint new Beneficiaries, add new classes of Beneficiaries or even exclude Beneficiaries from the trust.

TRUSTEE, OR BOARD OF TRUSTEES:
The Trustee is the person or company in charge of the Trust, and who holds and manages the trust fund for the benefit of the Beneficiary. There may be more than one Trustee (such as a multi-party Board of Trustees) appointed over a single Trust. The Trustee generally has broad discretion over how to control the trust fund, what types of investments may be made, and whether, and to whom, a distribution of trust property may be made. Although the Settlor and the Beneficiary of a Trust may make their desires about the trust fund known to the Trustee, through a “Letter of Wishes,” the Trustee is not legally required to follow those desires. It is for this reason that the word “trust” is used in connection with this legal relationship. Both the Settlor and the Beneficiary must “trust the Trustee” to manage and control the trust in the most effective, honest and wise manner possible. In selecting a Trustee, a Settlor should look for a well-established professional who is, above all, trustworthy.

PROTECTOR:
Most offshore trusts provide for a Protector. The Protector is an individual or company, independent and separate from the Trustee, which has the power to oversee the actions of the Trustee. The Protector may remove and replace the Trustee if the Protector believes that it is in the best interests of the Beneficiaries to do so. Some trusts limit the Protector’s powers, while others grant the Protector broad power to approve or even veto decisions made by the Trustee. As with the Trustee, the Settlor and the Beneficiary may make their desires known to the Protector, but the Protector is not required to follow those desires. In order to maintain the independence of the Protector, it is generally a good idea for the Protector to be a resident of a jurisdiction other than the country of residence of the Settlor, as well as other than the country of residence of the Trust.

JURISDICTION:
This is the country where the Trust resides. If the country is not the country where the Settlor resides, or is a citizen, it is considered to be “offshore.” The laws of this country govern the administration of the Trust. It is our opinion that Belize, an independent, English-speaking British commonwealth country in Central America, presently has the finest trust laws in the world. IBC recommends Belize as the choice of jurisdiction for almost any trust.
——————————————————————————–
What advantages are there in an offshore Trust?

There are several reasons why clients choose to establish a trust offshore (“offshore” simply means a country other than the Settlor’s country of residence or citizenship). Among those reasons are:

a) Robust Asset Protection- A creditor who wishes to attach Trust assets must go to a foreign country to do so – a country with laws very favorable to protecting the Trust assets.

b) Confidentiality of Financial Affairs- The privacy of financial transactions is zealously guarded under the laws of Belize.

c) Ownership of Property in Foreign Countries- The offshore trust is the perfect vehicle to own personal property and real estate in foreign countries.

d) Possible Tax Mitigation- There may be tax advantages to establishing an offshore trust. IBC recommends consultation with your tax and legal advisers in this regard.

e) Access to International Investments and Diversification- An offshore trust may invest in international funds, such as mutual funds or hedge funds, that may not be available to “onshore” traders. Usually, this is done through an International Business Company (“IBC”), owned by the trust.

f) Estate planning- An offshore trust may be an essential part of an estate plan, which might include a domestic trust, a will and any number of business entities. IBC works with a client’s tax and legal adviser to integrate an offshore trust into a client’s overall estate plan.
——————————————————————————–
What is the Belize Trust Act of 1992?

At the forefront of the Belize offshore industry is the modern and flexible Trusts Act of 1992. The Act was drafted by legal counsel from the United Kingdom, with valuable input from American legal advisers. Under the Act a general (non-charitable) trust may be established in Belize for up to 120 years, and a trust created exclusively for charitable purposes may be established in perpetuity (no time limit).
——————————————————————————–

Should a Trust own an IBC (International Business Company)?

An IBC is the working entity of a trust, enabling it to engage in buying or selling of securities, maintaining bank accounts, owning property and performing other business functions. A trust and trust-owned IBC may take advantage of Belize’s strict privacy laws, and do their business without having all details of those business transactions known to the general public. Often, trusts maintain ownership in numbers of companies. These companies may hold assets separately, which may increase asset protection.

Should a Protector Company be appointed?

It is wise to appoint a Protector or Protector Company, in order to provide added protection and to oversee the Trustee and the Trustee’s decisions. In order to maintain the independence of the Protector, it is a good idea for the Protector Company to be offshore (a resident of a country other than that of the residence or citizenship of the Settlor, and thus not subject to the laws of Settlor’s jurisdiction), and also a resident of a country other than the country of residence of the Trust (and thus not subject to the law that governs the Trust). IPC Corporate Services LLC recommends a St. Vincent Protector Company, Fidelity Services Limited, which provides independent and “arms-length” protector services. Annual fees for protector services are approximately $1,200.
