It is something
of a truism that success breeds success. Likewise with money. Money can be used
to "breed" money. Provided you have access to the necessary capital
in the first instance, and are careful about selecting the kind of
opportunities which offer a high return for a minimal risk, you can earn a very
worthwhile income...using other peoples' money!
One excellent
method of amassing a large amount of capital and guaranteeing yourself a very
high annual income is to form your own corporation.
The cash you generate
from the sale of shares is much cheaper than borrowing...there is no interest
to pay, it does not incur monthly repayments will pay your salary and is not
subject to taxation.
Regardless of
what the company does by way of trading, it is possible to issue shares at a
nominal value of, for example, £1.00 each.
You can buy a
limited company off the shelf and convert it to a public limited company. You
then write into the company charter an authorisation for the issue of one
million shares with no par value.
These shares are
then divided into lots for distribution. You could keep 300,000 shares for
yourself, allocate a further 400,000 for sale to the public at £1.00 each. Then
set aside the remaining 300,000 for sale at a later date, when the value of the
shares has risen, so that the sale price is much greater than the original
£1.00 each.
Contact a
stockbroker and offer to let them sell your shares at an agreed commission
(normally around 20%). Impress upon the broker that yours is a new company which
is set for rapid growth.
With the capital
raised from the initial sale of shares invest in getting the company up and
running. Once you are trading profitably your shares will start to appreciate
in value. It is not uncommon for shares in a newly established company to show
a three or four-fold growth within the first few months of trading.
The initial
capital from the sale of 300,000 shares, less 20% brokers fee, will leave you
with an operating capital of almost a quarter of a million pounds. With this
kind of money it is a fairly straightforward process to employ sales and
management professionals to run your company and financial experts to advise on
the best commercial strategy.
With a three-fold
increase in share value your 400,000 shares now have a nominal value of
£1,200,000. The remaining 300,000 worth of shares can then be sold at £3.00
each or close to that amount. Supposing you can sell them for only £2.00 each,
you still are able to raise a further £600,000 in operating capital.
Keeping your
400,000 shares as a nest-egg for your future, you award yourself a salary of
£100,000 per annum as the company chairman. You don't even need to take on a
managing director's responsibilities, and would be well advised to employ an
experienced business professional to fill this post.
The most
difficult phase of establishing your own corporation will be in converting your
limited company to plc status. The formation or the buying off the shelf of a
ready formed limited company is a straightforward process. However, in order to
elevate your limited company to public status will require expert professional
guidance.
It is quite
possible though, that you could find a suitable business professional to
perform the necessary work for an agreed shareholding in your new company.
