Goldwin.associates is a world-class leader in the writing and drafting of information memorandum documents, also known as Confidential Information Memorandums (CIMs).
A memorandum of understanding is a document used to raise capital, either debt or equity. The term for a 'book' used to raise funds varies from country to country, and many Asian companies refer to the memorandum used to raise funds as a "information memorandum." They are frequently employed by mergers and acquisitions firms, broker dealers, and other advisory bodies.
The IM, like other memoranda used to sell securities – such as a prospectus or offering memorandum – is a critical document used in the presentation to raise capital. The IM will detail key insights and benefits of the investment, allowing prospective buyers to make an informed decision about infusing their own capital as well as to invest immediately by subscribing to the securities.
One of the most important reasons for creating the IM document is to demonstrate the company's valuation to prospective buyers. However, the information memorandum frequently excludes any pricing of the company or its core businesses. This is done to give the selling company an advantage by not giving away its bottom line pricing, which would result in lower priced offers on purchase. The IM will provide enough information for any organization interested in acquiring or purchasing the company or its securities to conduct its own valuation. Once the prospective buyers have completed their valuation, they will present the seller with an offer price.
The Goldwin.associates team can help with the development of the IM and company valuation, as well as add value by protecting our clients from low-ball offers.
The following information should be included in the memorandum:
◆ Detailed description of the company, its products, and services
◆ Summary of the sale and offering structure
◆ Market opportunities and industry trends are described
◆ Competitive analysis, entry barriers for new competitors
◆ Factors of Risk
◆ Financial projections, historical performance, and projections for the future
◆ Management team, abilities, and future personal requirements
◆ Opportunities for expansion and scalability
◆ Products and services in the future
An information memorandum is frequently confused with a marketing memorandum or document. While this is not entirely accurate, the IM is the best marketing document a company can have if they are looking to make any kind of sale. Because the IM provides the necessary company attributes, it is the most powerful tool a company can use during the selling process.
The Goldwin.associates team collaborates with our client's staff to create the memorandum, ensuring that compelling information is included to entice buyers. Highlighting the company's performance, products, and service offerings is an important component of the information memorandum and can help you sell your company or securities.
