So, if you are new to the OTC markets or you have a rip-off story to share, take heart that you are not the 1st person that this ever happened to and you won’t be the last. The way I wound up in the M&A business is by someone taking my company public in 2003 www.cashnow.com in an RTO transaction  and absolutely destroying it. The stock price collapsed from $2.00 and settled down at 0,005c. So what did the SEC do? Nothing. Sure the SEC  looked into it and at the end of the day, they let it slide. The SEC let it slide until 2020  when they finally stepped in and reigned the perpetrators in 2022.

The perpetrator(s) laughed all the way to the bank. Instead of crying foul though it taught me to fight back and become his competitor. We became the largest IR and MA firm in 5 years before the economic crisis of 2008-2012. We launched the “Go Public Free” program. In other words if your company was worthy of being a publicly traded entity we would foot the bill for the public company and be your company booster and supporter. 

Even to this day these bottom feeders team up with transfer agents and other providers (lawyers, accountants) and they hoodwink OTC Markets on a regular basis. OTC Markets is a quasi-regulator of type and they relied upon the service providers to do the due diligence. We know what works and what doesn’t in OTC. The good players, and all the bad actors. I do consult real companies and companies that have aspirations of growing to the next level and are utilizing OTC as a step in that direction. I will not sugar-coat anything and I am a straight shooter. I am known to examine any past damage, problems, or situations that can tamper a company from moving forward due to negligence or wrongdoing by bad advice from those that either unknowingly gave bad advice or knowingly provided advice that benefited only one side. I am a problem solver and my advice consists in creating a win-win for all involved. I do not burn my bridges behind me. Transparency is always the best policy and a great attribute as this avoids any misunderstanding, and you always know where you stand, allowing both parties to move forward reaching the goal that they foresee or wish to attain for their business in order to propel it to the next level. The next level means creating an exit strategy for your company, taking the company public to raise funds, merge with another company to create a more robust business, the reasons are endless, but the approach needs to be meticulously planned to avoid any hiccups along the way.

If you are looking for a great IR and MA firm it is important that they have been in business for a long time, stay on top of new regulations, are easily accessible to answer questions, are knowledgeable, and most of all have a great track record in the industry something we are extremely proud of at  Mina Mar Group.
