Small and medium Business Finance Equity Program
The most distinguishing characteristic of a SPAC is that it gives investors the opportunity to vote on potential transactions and redeem a portion of their proceeds held in the trust account if they vote against a proposed transaction.
A Step Up From Small Business Loans Include SPACs and Reverse Mergers
A SPAC is similar to a reverse merger. However, unlike reverse mergers, SPACs come with built-in investor teams and an experienced management team. They are also set up with a clean slate where the management team searches for a target to acquire. This is contrary to pre-existing companies in reverse mergers.
SPACs typically raise more money than reverse mergers at the time of their IPO. The average SPAC raises about $75 million through its IPO compared to $5.24 million raised through reverse mergers in the months immediately preceding and following the completion of their IPOs. SPACs also raise money faster than private equity funds. The liquidity of SPACs also attracts more investors as they are offered in the open market.
Hedge funds and investment banks are very interested in SPACs because the risk factors seem to be lower than standard reverse mergers. SPACs allow the targeted company’s management to continue running the business, where they will sit on the board of directors. After a transaction, the company retains the target name and may register trade on the NASDAQ.
Regulation
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is currently investigating SPACs to determine whether they require special regulations to ensure that these vehicles are not abused like blind pool trusts and blank-check corporations have been over the years. Many believe that SPACs do have corporate governance mechanisms in place to protect shareholders.
Advantages
SPACs are more transparent than private equity as they are regulated by certain SEC rules, including filing their financial statements. Since SPACs are publicly traded, they provide liquidity to an investor (i.e. investment comes in the form of common shares and warrants which can be traded). The unique benefits are the special rights of shareholders to vote in approval or rejection of the deal and the ability for investors to regain most of their funds if the SPAC was unsuccessful. In addition, it is an opportunity for individuals not qualified to buy into hedge or private-equity funds to participate in the takeovers of private operating companies that those funds typically do. Additionally, the SPAC vehicle for the target company is the opportunity to effect a reverse merger that yields more capital.
Disadvantages
Other than the risks normally associated with IPOs, SPACs’ public shareholders' risks include:
• limited liquidity of their securities
• loss of 0-15% of their investments if no M&A deals are made
• lack of investment diversification
• lack of management’s time devoted to SPACs due to involvement in other ventures
There is also potential for delay and expense attributable to the public shareholders' special rights and the costs of functioning as a registered public company.
Restrictions Involved
SPACs generally self impose certain restrictions on their own activities, as well as those of their respective management teams, subsequent to their IPO to provide protection for their investors. These restrictions generally include, among other things, the following:
• Submission of Offering Proceeds in a Trust
As an essential investor protection in a SPAC, a large percentage of the IPO proceeds (generally above 90%), net of a portion of the underwriters’ compensation, but not of other offering expenses, is deposited into a trust account where the funds are invested exclusively in short-term government securities until the earlier of (i) the consummation of a business combination that has been approved by stockholders, and (ii) liquidation of the SPAC as discussed below.
• Limitation on Fair Value of Target Businesses
In order for a SPAC to consummate a business combination, the target business must have a fair market value representing at least 80% of the SPAC’s net assets (excluding deferred underwriters’ discounts and commissions held in trust) after the time of acquisition.
Our banking sources will invest from One million to seventy –five million in assets to enhance the balance sheet to qualify the company for small business loans or equity financing. We also have lenders that will make small business loans once they have additional asset on their balance sheet Angel investors to invest in SPAC companies.

A special purpose acquisition corporation, commonly known as a "SPAC", and formally a "development stage company", is generally incorporated with the primary objective of raising funds through a public offering of its securities primarily for purpose of acquiring one or more operating companies. However, it will typically begin as a corporation formed by a small group of industry executives or sophisticated investors (“Founding Stockholders”). The Founding Stockholders purchase the company’s common stock for nominal consideration and generally retain, after completion of the IPO, 20% of the SPAC’s common equity, although this percentage is less if the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised. Some or all of the Founding Stockholders also serve as the SPAC management team that will search for prospective target operating companies.
The most distinguishing characteristic of a SPAC is that it gives investors the opportunity to vote on potential transactions and redeem a portion of their proceeds held in the trust account if they vote against a proposed transaction.

Bernard ReberBack in late 1992, MS Access hit the streets. About that time the company I managed needed new software to handle their growing client base and I decided to try this new product. I had little difficulty writing and adapting a database to suit us and discovered a hidden talent for programming. A business was born. With business studies and 25 years of management experience in three different countries under my belt, I could offer a unique combination of skills and my customers agreed. From these humble beginnings my software 'invoiceit' emerged in 1999 and has since been taken to 49 states (hello Wyoming, won't you join us?), all across Canada and more than 70 other countries. From the very beginning the program included cashbook accounting, the simplest form of keeping financial business records. The Dictionary.com defines 'cashbook' as "A 'book' in which to record money received and paid out". For 'book' substitute 'simple software' and that's what I'm about. Now I have published Simple Accounting, an inexpensive spreadsheet solution which even you can master. For just $14.95 it costs less than a takeout meal!
