Whether your company is planning a private placement offering available to a select universe of friends and family, qualified investors or an initial public offering (IPO) via an exchange listing, a prospectus or offering memorandum is required by your investors and industry regulators that govern securities offerings.

What is a Prospectus?
A prospectus is a document that is provided to prospective investors and outlines the company’s structure vis-à-vis the business model, financial plan, securities information, management team and more. The company seeking investment capital will be offering investors some form of securities in consideration for the capital provided to the company, either in the form of debt or equity. The prospectus will outline the terms of this offering. For example, if a company is offering common stock in return for a capital infusion from investors, the prospectus will detail the type of common stock and the terms attached to the securities, such as voting rights, preferred vs. convertible, dividend schemes (if any), restriction on shares, etc. For a debt or bond offering, the Issuer company is typically offering a note or a bond or a convertible bond (one that converts into equity shares subject to corporate actions). The prospectus, whether a preliminary (red herring) or final prospectus will also outline the interest payment, maturity date and more. For any investor, institutional or high net worth, the Offering Prospectus is the ultimate road map that states how the company plans on being successful and how the investor will realize return on capital as well as projected profit on the investment.
Prospectus Characteristics
A properly-prepared Offering Prospectus should be easy on the eyes; crisp, clear and succinct without flowery or misleading narrative. While the length in terms of number of words and pages within a prospectus can vary from public entities to private entities, there is one theme that remains: verbiage and narrative that flows properly and demonstrates professional focus on the presentation.
The prospectus document should flow in a systematic order that conveys the message of the company and its offering. There should be a “birds-eye view” of the company in the form of a summary, followed by detailed analysis of the company, the industry and market, the company’s management team, and of course, a clear description of the investment offering details. The prospectus should be viewed as an opportunity to tell the Issuer’s story in a proper format, not as a “boring-must-give to investors” document.
OBJECTIVE
The prospectus, and by extension the private placement memorandum or offering documents allow a company to accomplish the following goals and objectives:
- Convey your message and your company’s business opportunity in a clear and concise manner.
- Showcase your intellectual property aka IP, or unique product or service offerings
- Highlight your team’s leadership capabilities and relevant experience in your industry
- Detail the company’s current and future business plans and strategies
- Discuss your exit strategy and how investors will be repaid and make a profit.
