Offering memorandum in practice: definition, goals and stages
An offering memorandum is a document, the main purpose of which is to present the current state of the issuer of securities, as well as the prospects for a specific project or directions for the company's development.In addition, it should contain basic information about the company, including a description of its activities, market, financial results and their objective assessment, as well as prospects for future business development.
The term "offering memorandum" is often confused with the concept of a prospectus, which is incorrect.
These documents are related to different issues. An offering memorandum is an investment document intended for financing by an investor (a group of investors) and providing information about a business or project for decision making.
It should be noted that the draft offering memorandum is not a static document, which in practice means ample opportunities for editing and improving it. The issuer can at any time make changes and modify it so that it remains clear and transparent for the selected circle of investors.
Such modifications are also introduced to enable potential investors to more accurately analyze the value of specific investments.
The offering memorandum includes, among other things:
• Feasibility study.
• Description of the specifics of the business or planned project.
• Comprehensive market analysis and competition assessment.
• Estimated project parameters and financial analysis.
• Evaluation of project constraints and possible risks.
• Investment recommendations.
The key features of the offering memorandum as a tool for attracting funding require the provision of minimal information about the project initiator, an assessment of the project cost at various stages of implementation, as well as justification of the structure of the transaction for investors.
This document should contain a full description of the measures that ensure optimal interaction between owners, investors and project managers in the post-investment period.
The goals of writing an offering memorandum include the following:
• Obtaining short or long term funding.
• Ensuring strategic partnerships with investors.
• Preparation for pre-public offering and IPO.
• Private placement of the company's shares.
• Implementation of the issue of bonds.
• Sale of part of the company.
At the initial stage of creating an offering memorandum, the document is filled with information directly related to this enterprise.
This must be complete reference information, including the name and type of company, location, legal form and type of management, capital and list of shareholders.
The second stage of creating an offering memorandum is to determine the specifics of the activities of a particular enterprise to which it refers. This is understood as the totality of all aspects that relate to the subject of the company's activities. Here we are talking about the type of products sold by the company, the team that deals with specific tasks, as well as the concept of organizing the business.
The next step is the collection and processing of comprehensive information about the financial model of the business.
This information has the greatest impact on the broadly understood return on investment. It is generally recommended that this part of the memorandum be prepared diligently and with great care in order to manage the company's budget even more effectively and attract investments on better terms.
