The Funding Your Company Workshops

Locations:
Bangkok, Thailand
Second Annual Workshop will be held on a Monday and Tuesday in April 2007

We are currently seeking organizers for annual workshops in South America, Europe/the Middle East and Africa. If you are a bank, government development agency or a business consulting firm seeking access to risk capital from any of these regions, please contact us.

Monday Workshop

"How to Write a Business Plan that North American Investors Will Fund"
Venture Capitalists reject ten thousand business plans for everyone that they fund. To get your company funded, you must have a business plan that tells the investors what they want to hear. Your business plan must be factual, concise and meet the needs of the investor. Above all else, your claims must be true. If your company wants to be funded by Beowulf Investments and the Global Village Investment Club, you must attend this Workshop. We require a business plan that uses our template.

The Workshop is a detailed explanation of the Beowulf/GVIC Business Plan Template. Upon registration, you will receive a copy of this thirty-three-page template and information on the tools used to evaluate financial statements that are a part of any business plan. If your company accurately completes our business plan template and you are seeking between US$500,000 and US$3,000,000, Beowulf Investments and the Global Village Investment Club want to fund your company.

Tuesday Workshop
"The Merchant Banking Investment Model"
Venture Capitalists expect control of your company for their money. Merchant bankers are willing to accept a minority position in your company for their money. Both funding sources are willing to risk about the same amount of money on their initial investments. The odds of your company being funded by a merchant bank are far greater than the odds of your company being funded by a Venture Capital Firm. The reason is most CFOs believe the myths about Venture Capital Firms.

This workshop explains the Merchant Banking Investment Model (MBIM) in the context of the policies and practices of the Global Village Investment Club [http://home.earthlink.net/~beowulfinvestments/globalvillageinvestmentclubwelcome/] and Beowulf Investments [http://home.earthlink.net/~beowulfinvestments/]. If you come to understand how we apply the Merchant Banking Investment Model, you will understand how all merchant banks fund their clients. You’ll come to realize why it is easier to raise money from merchant banks than venture capitalists.

Who Should Attend
1. CEOs and CFOs of operating companies seeking equity investment in their companies.
2. Venture Capitalists and investors seeking a lower risk investment model with higher short term returns and more relevant information about the business operation of prospective clients.

VENTURE CAPITAL PROFITS

Venture Capital Profits offers a unique strategy to build your company. Publicly traded shares are money. Go public in the States. Buy cash-producing assets with your publicly traded shares. You can use your company’s U.S. Dollar-dominated shares to leverage your company’s acquisitions. Use the Cisco (Cisco System Inc – CSCO on Nasdaq National Market) formula of 75% stock and 25% cash to make your acquisitions. Over the next five to seven years, you can build your public company’s balance sheet to show over one hundred million U.S. Dollars in assets.

To use your company’s shares to buy cash-producing assets, you must have a strong, sustainable share price. The secret to a strong sustainable share price is that you must limit the public shares (float) that can be traded in your Market. Educate your public shareholders so that they understand your company’s goal. This means they will hold their shares until you achieve your exit strategy. Your insiders can’t sell their stock to the public. They must await the fulfillment of your dream. Your stock structure must make it impossible for short sellers to increase your float.

Think globally. Create a regional multinational corporation. Integrate vertically by acquiring your overseas distribution network. Buy your sources of supply. Integrate horizontally by buying your competition. It’s almost always cheaper to buy an existing business than to start one. It’s worth considering doing turnarounds, if you have the resources to salvage the failing company. The existing business profits should pay your acquisition costs. Share-leverage purchases require one-fourth the profit of the acquired company to recover your risk capital. Reinvest the same risk capital over and over again and it multiplies as your multinational company grows. This is a different approach that will take your company to the next level.

Plan globally. Use the tax benefits and investment options available to any multinational corporation. Being a multinational corporation will increase your profits and reduce your risks. Seek management that shares your international vision.

The value of a private company is determined by its balance sheet. The value of a public company is determined by its market capitalization, which is the company’s share price multiplied by the issued shares. The value of a public company is usually at least four times its balance sheet value. The use of stock to leverage your acquisition costs and factor your company’s value is the primary reasons that you should take your company public. It means that the owners of the private companies that you acquire with your shares will earn a multiple of their private company’s value at the time of your exit strategy.

Once you have an impressive balance sheet and attractive profits, plan your exit strategy. to be acquired by a larger multinational corporation. You’ll sell your public company at a multiple of its asset value.

If you own a private company worth a million dollars, you can work for twenty years growing your company. Your company could be worth five million dollars upon your retirement. If you adopt the Venture Capital Profits strategy, you’ll work hard for the next five to seven years. Your company should be worth one hundred million dollars. Sold at Market Capitalization, your insiders will gross at least four hundred million dollars. If you have a twenty- percent share in your company, when its sold, you will earn eighty million dollars. It’s your choice. You can be the leader of a quality company who makes the decision to be in the vanguard of the multinational movement.
