With global economics the way they are it would be redundant to rant and rave about the downsides of corporate fund-raising. Quick infusions of cash from venture capital firms and institutional lenders are on hold and it is what it is but companies are becoming creative and corporate attention is steering away from the problems and toward the solutions.

The US and Chinese markets are intertwined in many ways and now a new trend in finance is making the relationship even closer. It\’s a fact that Chinese corporations are still trying to figure out how to make their domestic stock market profitable and stable. Many of these companies have global ambitions with unique technology solutions business products and strategies but because of the week Chinese economy (compared to the power of other currencies) they have no choice but to head to the Frankfurt Exchange or the OTCBB market here in the United States.

As a corporate consultant that facilitates the process of going public for both domestic and global entities I have received maybe 5 to 10 calls per year from Chinese companies wanting to set up American corporate subsidiaries to absorb their foreign corporations and trade on the Bulletin Boards but all that has changed. I now receive 5 to 10 calls from Chinese and Indian companies per week to take advantage of the global market place that centers around America\’s gravitational pull.

Here is how you can take your foreign entity public: set up a domestic corporation (I usually have corporations set up in Delaware because its fast, easy and the states statutes go back to the original 13 colonies so there is sufficient case law and precedence to protect a public entity affectively). Next you will need a professionally written business plan in English. Translated business plans don\’t work as Western investors look for different details in transactions than their Asian counterparts. Write a new business plan based off of this new corporate entity.

After this you will use the Regulation D Rule 504 exemption to offer discounted stock to a core group of investors via DPO (direct public offering) we have spent 11 years putting our core group of investors together that can finance around 80% of the public process so it becomes extremely reasonably priced for foreign companies. Then the S1 is put together while simultaneously their SEC audit begins which is simple and fast because the company in the US is a startup. We go through and get the SEC approval, then FINRA and then the market maker that we have attached to the deal goes to work.

Now here is the kicker. If you have any experience with taking companies public you\’ll see one common thread throughout all the companies that you work with and that is the fact that the company executives who started this company and are more than likely the majority share holders, want to retain as much equity as possible so this is simple. When the company is publicly trading, limit the issuance of stock specifically to your original core group and let the stock price stabilize then you simply take some of the company owned shares and use them as collateral for equity loans and lines of credit.

Once you\’re public the last thing you want to do is liquidate shares to raise capital quickly. Instead, use your shares as collateralized bartering chips and you\’ll never have a problem with cash flow or fund raising or the threat of losing control of your company. Foreign companies that want to go public in the United States are often intimidated by the strenuous process and the concern of \’who to trust\’. Find a consulting firm with experience in turnkey \’go public\’ facilitation and you\’ll be fine.

The situation in the UK economy has had a bad affect on many of the residents of the country.

It will soon be 2010 and no one would have believed when the credit crunch happened in the first part of 2007, that all this time later we would still be in its grip, and that the recession would by now be a thing of the past.

Many people expected throughout the last three years that we would be out of the recession just as quickly and suddenly as we appeared to enter into it, and that finances would soon be as they once were.

This attitude was further increased by the constantly conflicting reports in the press and television news.

On some occasions we were delighted to be told that property prices were on the up as were mortgages and remortgages.

This made people feel more confident in the future of their finances, the stability of their employment and so on.

However almost at once the news was reversed as the news expounded that mortgage applications were not on the up, properties were in less demand, etc.

After almost three years of this those struggling financially through working fewer hours for example are now grasping the fact the economy is nowhere near returning to normal and as such their income will not be as it was before the recession for some time yet.

This has lead to the fact that many now understand the reality of their financial position and that is tht it is not about to change at any moment .

Therefore for those who have been putting off seeking help and advice for their debts should no longer delay in so doing, as financial matters are not going to show any sudden sign of improvement.

There are all types of debt help available and for those struggling needlessly with debt they should seek the best possible debt advice to point them in the direction of the best debt solution for them now.

If you own or run a company that is trying to raise capital in the current economic conditions you\’ve undoubtedly been challenged by the limited funds available. Investors are more difficult to find and the individuals that are actually willing to part with their cash are even tougher to find. You\’ve talked to friends, family members, your cpa and your attorney but trying to get them to invest is like drawing blood from a stone, it\’s just not happening.

There is an easier way. Most broker dealers and market makers have an emergency number in their rolodex that reads \”Investor Finder\”, these specialist consultants are brought in when there is nowhere else to turn for cash. A true Investor Finder has 1,000\’s of investor contacts that they can call on to get funding for their clients and are constantly using online viral strategies to attract more investors to their database.

An investor finder usually is not a licensed securities broker/agent or attorney; instead they are traditionally consultants that are active in the investment banking facilitation aspect of the industry. Being that they are not licensed they do not accept equity payments or percentages; instead they work on a flat fee basis.

A good consultant in this genre can bring in 30 to 70 real investors per day and it\’s up to the client to sell the opportunity from there. A typical lead from an investor finder will be an investor or investment firm that is responding to the consultant\’s opportunity introduction email or snail mail mailing, they have read about the opportunity and they respond one of two ways, either they are calling into a phone room to be screened and qualified or they are contacting the client directly.

Many times the investor doesn\’t know that they are part of the \”finder\’s\” database but do recall signing up to receive investment opportunity updates, so either way the investor is solid and active. If you are trying to raise capital and need real results quickly and can\’t afford to waste time begging for cash, you need to seek out a qualified Investor Finder consultant and make your fundraising efforts fast and easy.

It seems as though companies all over are \”going green\” these days and collection agencies have jumped on the bandwagon. Companies such as Pacific Northwest Collections have chosen to dispose of paper files and use a program called Document Locater instead. The new system is beneficial in many ways.

Collection agents now can utilize the document locater to obtain files containing debtor information and are able to use this data to answer their queries over the phone in real time. This is helpful for the company because it is more efficient. Before the shift, payers oftentimes needed to wait on the phone for information, or even for a call back from the collections company.

Because contacting debtors may prove to be difficult, the ability to quickly access information is a useful and effective way to collect. If a collector does get a payer on the phone, it can prove to be frustrating for the person to wait on questions and often times a they may not be able to answer a call back from a collections company.

The new system has turned out to be profitable financially as well. With the new paperless system, hours of work are obliterated. No more typing, filing, or copying is neccessary, leaving collectors with more time to get in contact with debtors rather than do clerical work.

The new system also makes the company seem more professional. It may give the impression that a collection agency is uninformed when they cannot access information in a timely fashion. After all, the more creditable an agency appears, the more likely payers are to take the company seriously. Although at first shifting the information to software and purchasing the software itself may be costly, the whole procedure seems to pay for itself. A manager at Pacific Northwest Collections claims that the company saves $2,000 with the new system.

In a suffering economy, collection companies may struggle to retrieve money from those in debt. Agencies who are innovative and can think outside of the box may very well turn out to be the most successful.

Being able to locate a debtor\’s bank account can be quite useful in your attempt to collect. By law, it is necessary that a private, licensed investigator to do the work. You should always be wary when you hire someone to locate bank account numbers as there are a great deal of scam companies claiming that they can help, and take your money with no activity in return.

Below are legal ways to obtain a debtor\’s bank account number.

First, if your debtor works at a retail store buy something from the debtor and pay by check. This is an excellent tactic to determine account information by looking at your own bank statement; the bank account information will allow you to figure the debtors account number.

Interacting with a previous landlord of the debtor can be quite helpful. Ask his formal landlord if you can look at the rental application and obtain financial information. You can also subpoena the old land lord for a copy of the rental application to see where the defendant banked. Because old habits die hard, it is likely that the debtor still uses the same bank account.

It may be wise to consider serving a Business Record Subpoena on the debtor\’s employer so that you can acquire a copy of a payroll check the debtor has cashed in. The check should have the defendant\’s account number and possibly the name of the bank on the bank.

In addition, there are a few \”colorful\” ways to acquire information about a debtor\’s bank account. Conduct a trash search. This is an simple way to obtain bank information and a way to get to know more than you ever wanted about this debtor.

A very elaborate ploy to get the skinny on your debtor\’s bank account is what I like to call \”the fake block party.\” Send post cards to anyway who lives on the debtor\’s block, and put up signs directing traffic towards his house. The debtor may get block party fever and open his garage. Scope out his items and take inventory. He may even start to sell things. At this point, purchase something and hand them a check.

So there you go. All of these schemes are legal, and legit. But my advice would be to look through trash and stage an elaborate block party last, because that seems kind of crazy.
