15. Can the company fund its SCOR offering through bridge
financing?
The offering can be funded by such methods as an SBA "LOW
DOC" loan or raising the money by a "quick-fix"
subscription offering or other alternatives. It is possible, depending
upon the company, to complete a SCOR Offering with an initial
investment of $5,000 on the part of the company. This is achieved by
undertaking a "quick fix" bridge equity offering followed by
a SCOR Offering. DFS can advise and assist on this topic.
16. What is the cost to the company if the offering is not a
success?
The company must pay the professional registration fees, outside
counsel, outside independent
auditor, escrow fees, state filing fees, advertising &
marketing fees, printing and postage. Selling
commissions are paid only on moneys received by the company, No
success, No fee.
17. How much does the company receive?
Net of all expenses, the company will receive on average a net of
$800,000+/- if the offering is sold
out at $1 million.
18. How are states chosen in which to register?
At DFS , before recommending the states for registration, we take into account the following: prospect base residency, proximity, advertising restrictions, escrow rules, filing, registration, merit review approvals, and "substantive fairness" attitudes of each state's administrator.
19. Is there any difference between existing stock and SCOR
stock?
Usually. Existing stock is usually deemed "promoters stock
or cheap stock" and there are
restrictions on stock splits, dividends, and resale of the stock.
The State or States in which the
offering is registered generally requires that the promoters
stock be escrowed for a period of three
to eight years. The rules are different if the company is quoted
on the SCOR Market Place of the
Pacific Stock Exchange.
