Direct Registration

A majority of small business owners elect to go public with an approach called a "Direct Registration also known as a "Self Registration," where they go through the SEC's review process without the need of a third party, such as a corporate shell structure that may have negative baggage. They also do not need to subscribe to a pricey underwriting firm which costs upwards of a million dollars.

What Is A Reverse Merger

A reverse merger is when a private company buys up most of the outstanding shares in a public company that has quit actively engaging in business. The private company can then gain control by seating a new board of directors that can decide to rename the company and give it a new direction. This option can be considered the lesser alternative because the shell company can come with a negative history and affect standing with the SEC and act as an impediment to successful funding.
