Platform of Trust – the “up-ramp” 

Listing Guide  /   Listing Sherpa  /   Turnkey Listing  /  Trusted Upkeep

In one fashion or another, every company manages money, but some use a shoebox while others employ formal process and sophisticated fiscal controls.  Every company has legal obligations for shareholder disclosure and regulatory compliance, but some maintain clear records, while others ignore (or worse yet don’t even know) their obligations completely.

The options are varied, but the impact is clear. companies with solid process in these areas (what we call a "Platform of Trust") earn higher investor trust than those companies with haphazard or secretive tendencies.  The result is a significant value shift, because investors are loath to place their money with companies that they don’t trust. 

From an economics point of view, it’s all about supply and demand ie: more money will chase trusted companies than distrusted companies, and as a result, trusted companies will earn higher valuations.

Genesis Exchange

In the fight for capital, every company is measured by its ability to add value to capital, and  every company operates under a web of legal and ethical obligations for shareholder disclosure and regulatory compliance.   Of course the fundamentals drive company value, but the in-ability to manage regulatory compliance and shareholder disclosure almost always drives valuations down by eroding investor trust.  What is needed is a credible process for turning proactive compliance into a value builder.  After reviewing a wide range of options, from simple excel and word processing, to customizable compliance programs, Rampworth has concluded that the Genesis Exchange offers the finest, and most efficient compliance platform available for private companies.  To ensure that our clients benefit from the full potential of this remarkable resource, we have partnered with the Genesis Exchange at a strategic level.  To take advantage of the exchange, a company must first become “Listed”... a process that we are expert at supporting.

Self-Help
It is possible to self-list onto the Genesis Exchange, but some find the overall scope of the system easier to grasp with some expert guidance. For these companies, Rampworth offers the Listing Guide, a web delivered educational tool for companies who wish to understand more about the Genesis Exchange while they self-list using the Genesis Exchange tools. 

Listing Guide –
a web based knowledge resource that will guide you through the Genesis Exchange self-serve listing process from A to Z.  Based on Rampworth’s own internal training program, the Listing Guide is designed as a complement to the help tools and wizards provided by the Genesis Exchange.  The scope is wide, with chapters covering everything from the overall strategy for building a Platform of Trust, through to Cap Table design and listing shortcuts, to funding and due diligence strategies and downstream Genesis Exchange obligations. 

 

In addition to simplifying the listing process, the guide helps you navigate the Governance options and get the most out of stakeholder roles, while also providing on-line resources for training stakeholders.

Full Service

Listing on the Genesis Exchange is an extremely valuable undertaking, but it can also be complex and time consuming.  Since it is a one-time process, some prefer to outsource the process, rather than spending valuable company resources on this non- core activity.  For these companies, Rampworth provides a Turnkey Listing service, and we also provide an ongoing Trusted Upkeep service.
