A few things
to know.
Ask the Street team Do we need to raise a new round?
A secondary sale transfers existing shares from a shareholder to a buyer. It can provide shareholder liquidity without the company issuing new shares. The structure and approvals depend on your company.
Can we start with a small group of shareholders?
Yes. The initial conversation can focus on a specific group, a limited amount of stock, and a defined window. Eligibility and transfer restrictions are reviewed before a process opens.
Does registering interest commit us to anything?
No. An initial conversation or indication of interest does not commit your company to a sale, a price, or a trading window. You decide whether to move forward.
Is a sale or a particular price guaranteed?
No. A transaction depends on buyer demand, company consent, eligibility, applicable restrictions, and final terms. Indications of interest are non-binding and are not a Street valuation. Aggregate demand insights require at least three independent investors.
