How do I get started with Kugarand Holdings?

If the company is pursuing private equity investment under a REG-D offering, there are two ways to proceed.   First, the company can sell their own shares through a "direct offering" to their friends and family and investors familiar with the management and the company and under specific controlled conditions, the company may sell their shares privately to accredited investors.  Kugarand Holdings, through our companies, LAUNCHfn and NBA&I, will work with the company to manage this process and create and maintain the records needed for regulatory purposes.  Kugarand Holdings under specific controlled conditions may introduce investors to the company in a private setting  using the "road show", group and individual investor meeting strategy.   Second, Kugarand Holdings has established good working relationships with a number of Registered Broker Dealers in Atlanta and select other markets.   These firms will develop the legal documents required and then represent the company to their angel investor and private investor networks, and manage a campaign to promote the shares of the company.   

Likewise,  for publicly traded companies on the Bulletin Boards or companies desiring to make their stock available in a public offering, they will be taken to over 17 private funds and enter into a "road show" strategy to create demand for their publicly traded shares.

Lastly, if the company needs a funding strategy that includes some debt in equipment leasing or facility acquisition, or they need working capital as an interim to an equity raise, Kugarand Holdings works with many different lenders that can provide a variety of debt programs.   We will identify your exact requirements and match them to programs in place with the lenders.

There is a common saying in the investment community....a company with a "B" product and an "A" management team will get funded before an "A" product and a "B" management team. This is difficult for entrepreneurs to appreciate some times because they are so passionate about their product, that they think that should be good enough. Through our resources we can help you identify interim and permanent management and advisors that will strengthen your overall package. The second thing investors want to know is can the product find a home? Will somebody buy it? How will money be made? And the best way to determine this is to have customers. If you don't have customers, our resources can help you with your go to market and shore up some of those issues. Lastly, they want to know that there is a barrier to entry to your competitors or a significant differential between what you offer and what your competitors offer. This may involve Patent protection, speed to market or other factors. All of which our resources can help you address.
