These Direct Offerings save the companies hundreds of thousands of dollars in fees and commissions and gives the qualified investor an opportunity that was only a short time ago reserved for favored clients and privilaged wealthy investors. Direct Offerings (DPOs) are highly efficient, easier to obtain, quicker to close and less expensive compared to institutional-level IPOs and other large fee and commission-based offerings. Although the money raised under a DPO ($250,000 up to $10 Million) is usually much less than an institutional IPO ($1 Billion or more), the benefits to a small company are substantial. For the investor, the iValueRich platform is where you can gather in-depth, on-demand information on companies seeking direct financings of up to $10 Million and indicate your interest in participating in the future growth of the next financial upswing.
