METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR FACILITATING CAPITAL RAISING

摘要

The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for facilitating capital raising, underwriting and sub-underwriting. Currently, processes for raising capital in the primary market (deals that are off the stock market) is manual and ad hoc. The processes are therefore very slow and laborious, which results in risk that the transaction may not complete. The present invention provides a computing apparatus that is arranged to enable input of deal data relating to a transaction. Electronic communications are sent out to potential interested persons. Interested persons may lodge “bids” using computing devices remotely connected to the computing apparatus. The bids are assessed and confirmed, adjusted or denied. Compliance with regulations is enforced by a deal process and bid process implemented by the computing apparatus. Offer letters are transmitted electronically to the remote apparatus and may be electronically accepted, in order to facilitate closure of the transaction.
