Emerging Corporation

Emerging Corporation

Emerging corporations have typically been started by a small group of like-minded individuals who are actively involved in the day-to-day operation of the business. These founders often have the long-term objective of selling the business or taking it public. While financing to date may have been under the private issuer and family, friends and business associates’ exemptions from the prospectus requirements, emerging corporations may rely on accredited investors for the next rounds of financing.
