Special Needs of...
Corporate Entrepreneurs ("CE")
The Problem:
Often CEOs and CFOs recognize the need to engage
in a major financing but do not know where to get started. They
recognize there is only a limited number of investment banking firms,
and if they approach them half cocked, they may get turned down
prematurely.
In other instances, the investment banker is
ready to go, and the security attorneys turn to the company for their
written “business plan,” but the Company is too busy running its
business. The Company also wonders if a law firm, expert as it is in
law, can really understand the special nuances of the Company’s
business strategy and industry. Even if the Company has the resources
to do it in-house, the CEO is worried that his in-house people are not
too close to the core technology to explain it clearly to generalist
outsiders.
Most importantly, Management knows that their
Company is worth a lot, and just can’t understand why outsiders don’t
see it. |

strong skills in strategic planning (marketing, production,
technology, organization, finance), and know how to simplify complex
ideas into cogent storylines compelling to investors. We also

attorney who will immediately understand your full potential. Your
attorney and investment banker, in turn, will use our Black Book as a
roadmap to quickly develop their documentation and get on with the
transactions before windows of opportunities have closed. |
A "corporate entrepreneur"
("CE") is any executive seeking to pull his firm into uncharted
waters. Often this involves some form of corporate finance from
raising new outside capital, going public, maintaining public valuations
at a high level, or pursuing a merger or acquisition. In other
instances, CEs need to convince a reluctant Board of Directors, employees,
or potential strategic partners of a need to go forward on your vision.
Usually intangible ideas need
to be made more tangible to increase their perceived value to key
stakeholders. That is where VALMAX
can be of great help. We bring an objective third-party critical eye
to your assumptions. In our experience, our clients are too close to
their work and day-to-day operations to properly articulate concepts to
those on the outside. Each of your existing outside consultants from
law firms to accounting firms are specialists at what they do.
VALMAX is a specialists in drafting
convincing Black Books and deal proposals.
In the privacy of your
office, we tear apart your corporate strategy, and rebuild it with you to
assure there are no unseen holes. We masterfully weave your idea
into a bulletproof tapestry that can convince the most reluctant potential
participants.
