 There are several ways in which companies approach the creation of a PPM.

  1. Attorneys.  Many firms simply retain an attorney to prepare the PPM.  Once complete, the management team is responsible for soliciting and pitching potential new investors.  The only fees incurred are those of the attorney and the time of the management team.   Attorneys will charge from $5000 to $20000 for a full private placement. An attorney may be a good route for companies that already have a well established network of possible investors to pitch the investment opportunity.
     

  2. Investment Banks.  Other firms hire an intermediary (investment bank) to help with the capital raise.  Hiring an intermediary can be tricky..  An entrepreneur will encounter all sorts of institutions offering all sorts of different promises to raise money for the start-up.   The decisions and processes can be very confusing and time-consuming.
