IN WHAT WAY IS THE INDEPENDENT STOCK MARKET UNIQUE?

Our forefathers were inspired to insure through the Constitution certain inalienable rights to each citizen.
These rights include life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
American business owners find it difficult to pursue happiness when they aren’t able to access money from lending institutions, venture capital groups, or private equity offerings to help them expand their business while overcoming financial challenges that have appeared during the economic downturn.

These frustrations are accentuated when business owners realize that all they need to succeed is a little extra capital. Private business owners need the same opportunity that public companies enjoy. The most important advantages publicly traded businesses benefit from are the right to the equity they’ve built in their company and the utilization of corporate stock to build the business and acquire other businesses.

In order to pursue happiness and benefit from the rights granted under the constitution, there must be the
opportunity to succeed at the highest level for all business owners, whether their company is big or small, private or public. Unfortunately, the highest level of freedom and success for small business owners has seemed unobtainable because of the assumed requirements to access this equity. The gate to liquidity often seems impenetrable.

The mysteriously high level of success of big businesses is often achieved simply by taking their company public. However, there are several often overwhelming conditions and prerequisites to join the traditional markets including:
1. The initial costs -often exceeding $1,000,000.
2. Extensive Federal filings and Sarbanes-Oxley accounting guidelines.
3. Potential of losing control of the business.
4. In-house expertise to explain rules and trading activities which are confusing and perplexing to even the greatest of financial minds. This expansive and ever-changing knowledge is necessary for entrance into the stock market as well as for continued navigation and management.
ISM provides the benefits of a public market for privately held businesses without all the costs, expenses, or risks associated with the traditional stock markets. It gives them the freedom to advertise their need for capital. It also provides a simple buy/sell marketplace (no puts, calls, or short sales) where both accredited and non-accredited investors can participate in the opportunities for investing that the Independent Stock Market offers.
