Capital Formation:

AFH Holding and Advisory analyzes each client to determine the optimal capital formation strategy. AFH maintains a carefully selected, screened network of NASD broker-dealers, investment bankers and service partners available to clients. Along with our institutional partners, AFH also invests our own firm's capital in clients.

Capital formation strategies include:
- Initial Public Offering(IPO)
- Alternative Public Offering (APO)
- Private Investment in Public Equity (PIPE)
- Mezzanine Financing
- Bridge Loan Financing

While an IPO may be appropriate for some companies, AFH also offers a unique method of APO implementation. Unlike other processes, the AFH model of APO creates a publicly traded company that is introduced for trading directly onto a senior exchange (such as the American Stock Exchange ("AMEX") or the NASDAQ National Market ("NASDAQ") with simultaneous access to capitalization. The benefits are obvious: the smoother, faster registration process of an Alternative Public Offering, coupled with the immediate liquidity and capitalization potential of an IPO.
