Who Needs an Offering Memorandum?
There are two people, or two groups, that would require an offering memorandum (OM). The first is the entrepreneurs or company themselves. The OM can be a guiding document for the company seeking to raise capital. The memorandum assists in greatly organizing the company’s business plans, financial model and the terms they are offering investors for their capital. In addition to the company needing an offering memorandum, an investor will most likely require such a document as well. The OM serves as tool for the investor to make an educated decision whether to invest or not, and any serious funder will require an offering memorandum or an equivalent-type disclosure document, like a prospectus, when considering infusing capital into a company.

Definition of an Offering Memorandum
An offering memorandum is a disclosure document that a company provides a potential investor for capital considerations. An offering memo is used throughout the world to raise capital in the private placement market for those selling securities that are not registered with regulatory bodies like the securities and exchange commission. Most often offering memorandums are solely utilized to raise capital from private investors, i.e. the OM is not used for a publicly traded security, but employed in the private capital markets.
Offering Memorandum Characteristics An offering memorandum, also referred to as an “OM”, is used throughout the world to raise capital mainly from private investors. The OM can be several pages in length to several hundred pages, depending on the scope of the project, the amount of capital needed and a plethora of other factors. A well written offering memorandum will incorporate the company’s terms that are being presented to an investor, such as the amount of stock being issued, or the interest rate of a bond or note, for example. In addition, the OM will detail the management team, risk factors, tax consideration – which are important for onshore and offshore entities – and other needed business details so an investor can make an educated decision whether to invest or not in the company.
The Private Placement Market and What is Needed?
The private placement market is the largest market in terms of liquidity of capital. While the amount of money raised in the public market may seem large – and it is – the private placement market is greater. A private placement offering is essentially when a company offers securities – usually in the form of stocks, shares, bonds, notes, warrants or other securities – to private investors. This is in contrast to an initial public offering where one offers such securities to the public. Typically to invest in a private placement an investor has to be accredited or have some net worth where investing will not be a burden if the investment is lost. In addition to a private individual, often funds and banks and other institutions will invest in private placements, however a select number of investors – a ceiling – of how many can invest is typically imposed on the company. When raising money in the private placement market – entrepreneurs use an offering memorandum and/or a private placement memorandum (PPM) or sometimes a prospectus to raise the capital – the entrepreneur must pay attention to the sale of unregistered securities and should outline the securities in the disclosure document presented to investors.
Offering Memorandum Objectives
A well crafted offering memorandum should convey the opportunity to an investor in a clear and concise fashion and accomplish the following objectives, at the very least:
- Convey the company’s strategy, risks and the opportunity in a clear and detailed manner.
- Give detailed information on the type of securities being offered, including the general and specific terms of the offering.
- Showcase your team’s experience and the relevant leadership in your industry.
- Elaborate on your company’s current and future business plan and marketing plan.
- Emphasize your financial projections and budget, making a clear case for profitability.
- Highlight the company’s exit strategy and the potential ROI, return on investment.
