Compare a reverse merger with Reg A+

Is this like a reverse merger or buying a public shell?

Buying a public shell is one way that mid-sized companies raise equity capital to grow. It is expensive, complex, and it is sometimes difficult to get over the negative history of the old public company that failed in the past (that failure is why the shell was available to be purchased).

In comparison, Regulation A+ offerings are much simpler, less expensive and they are fresh and new.  The limit of $75 million per year per company in Reg A+ does mean that some companies that are raising larger amounts of capital will still need to go the reverse merger route.

Under the new regulation, companies can raise up to $75 million* per year from individual, “Main Street” investors.
