Final Prospectus
Once a company submits their preliminary prospectus for filing with the relevant oversight agencies, and once all terms are finalized, they will update the “preliminary prospectus” to a “final prospectus”. The final prospectus is the most current version of the prospectus. It is considered a completed document and because of this completion, the final prospectus is also known as an “offering circular” and/or a “statutory prospectus.” While these two terms, offering circular and statutory prospectus, are well known, they are not as common as “final prospectus” or just the term “prospectus”.
For those companies seeking to go public, the filing of a final prospectus is mandatory. This type of prospectus is a formal legal document that is required by and filed with the relevant government financial securities regulator and relevant state securities regulator prior to the selling of public securities. This final version provides details about an investment offering for sale to qualified institutional investors or to the public at large.
Our team of securities industry consultants, investment banking veterans and attorneys can assist with the writing and drafting of all of your company’s offering prospectus documents that are necessary for your capital formation process.
Final and Selling Securities
For issuers considering selling stock in the company or selling debt securities to investors, a well-tailored final prospectus is mandatory, particularly for a company wishing to obtain financing in the public markets. A final prospectus document can provide protection to one’s business and is often required to raise either debt or equity financing. A well-written final prospectus will tell the story of the company, from the minute details of the types of securities being offered, (e.g. stock versus bonds), to the management team, the market, the risk factors and the overall business plan model of the company, among many other details. The final part of the prospectus is reserved for the subscription agreement, which is an essential component of any prospectus as it is the contract between the issuer and the person buying the debt or equity securities. A good final prospectus will be used for multiple offerings in future issuance or offerings to the public.
Although fluency in the range of offering prospectus definitions is the first and foremost document that an Issuer needs to fully understand in advance the steps to raise capital, the structure and presentation of the final document can add value to a company’s products and services and team by portraying them in a well-polished format. A final prospectus shows an investor that one is serious and has gone the extra length to ensure regulatory compliance and good business practices. Without a formal document that outlines the company’s business plan and securities structure, it is often difficult to raise capital from any serious investor.
