Private to Public
Crystal Falls Investments facilitates a specialized “private to public” program for emerging private companies that wish to utilize a public company platform for growth and development. Crystal Falls Investments has developed a network of qualified, talented, and experienced professionals to manage the ENTIRE process, including securities counsel, audit firms, equity funds, market makers, and public relations groups. We also have strategic relationships with many active angel investor organizations, through which we can facilitate bridge loans, seed round angel investments, initial venture capital investments, and mezzanine investments from $100,000 to $10 million.
Mergers and Acquisitions
Crystal Falls Investments is not a Broker Dealer or Law Firm.
Almost all emerging growth companies are seeking any and all opportunities to strengthen their respective balance sheets and increase their bottom line. A strategic merger or acquisition can achieve both of these objectives quickly and cleanly. To ensure that each of our clients has not only top shelf guidance and representation in the M & A arena, we provide each of our clients with extensive knowledge and experience addressing both legal and business issues for our public and private clients across the entire spectrum of M&A transactions including – mergers, acquisitions, dispositions, proxy contests, exchanges of securities, strategic and financial investments, leveraged buyouts, “going private” transactions, recapitalizations and joint ventures.
Crystal Falls Investment’s M&A practice includes some of the most experienced professionals in the industry. Drawing on that experience, we are active across the full range of M&A advisory roles.
Sell-side Advisory
Leveraging our independence and lack of conflict, we have a strong track record in sell side advisory roles. Acting for target companies, special board committees or selling shareholders, we can operate at the heart of any process, assist in negotiations and give impartial and objective advice about the merits of bids received.
Buy-side Advisory
We also have a strong record of successful buy side advisory assignments, advising principally (but not exclusively) on stock or asset purchases of or by publicly listed companies. As an independent firm, we can give objective advice about securing the target asset or company and a truly independent view on the value of the opportunity being considered.
