Our holding companies vend SME’s in and we then raise capital as self-issuers through a unique progressive capitalization process. SME’s maintain a spin-out option after a seasoning period.
Similar to a Business Development Company ("Public BDC"), iCapVentures is a "Private" Business Development Enterprise ("BDE"). Created to help small & medium enterprises (SME's). Our BDE provides permanent capital to management, allows investments by the general public uses mezzanine financing opportunities and in alliance with Maverix Ventures, takes companies public on foreign stock exchanges.
iCapVentures - WHAT WE DO (Cont.)
We use proprietary investment banking tools, structures and systems, which provide investors guaranteed returns, no risk of principal, adjustable risk options, flexible exit strategies and highly marketable deal structures - all translating to a successful and timely capitalization of each company or new venture.
We implement a progressive financial plan in phases which allows each company the highest probability of capital attainment possible. From the seed round to taking the company Public on one of the foreign stock exchanges, to 144A & Reg S Offerings to Qualified Institutional Buyers and Structured Collateral Loan processes with international banks.
We provide the highest value at the lowest initial cost possible by bundling our subsidiary companies with other synergistic companies, so the cost of raising capital is shared and investors risk is substancially hedged.

iCapVentures Business Development Enterprise
Process
iCapVentures Business Development Enterprise
Process iCapVentures, Inc. forms a new California domiciled HoldCo in which three SubCo’s Vend-in to be incubated – after substancial Seed Capital is raised and SubCo seasons, they have a Spin-out option.
HoldCo conducts a CA 25102(n) exempt Private Placement Offering of Participating Preferred Shares, 8% Annual Cumulative Dividend, a 120% Call on the Preferred and 1X Par on the Participating. The Private Placement focuses on California Qualified Purchasers and Self-Directed 401K Investors using our particular system of contacting and educating them – all SEC compliant Private Placement capital of +/- $1MM drops down into each SubCo and additionally pays the costs for each to go public on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, which we arrange with Maverix Ventures.
The associated cost for each SubCo is minimal, as the HoldCo has the benefit of spreading the cost across all three companies and investors have the benefit of a diversified risk into all three SubCo’s, via the HoldCo.
iCapVentures Business Development Enterprise
Process
SubCo Spins-off from HoldCo and into one of Maverix Ventures Publically traded companies on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange.
Maverix Ventures PubCo manages the Frankfurt capitalization process with their Germain Market Makers. SubCo is capitalized up to +/- $15MM and then Maverix will assist them in Spinning-off to be independently traded on the Frankfurt, and/or dually listing on other foreign stock exchanges for additional capitalization.
See Vend-In Spin-Off for additional details
iCapVentures arranges a going public relationship with affiliate Maverix Ventures for the next Phase of capitalization.
Maverix additionally assists in PIPE, Mezz and institutional capitalization. Once SubCo Spins-off and is an independent Frankfurt Exchange company, it can issue another round of capitalization as an independently trading company, further capitalizing SubCo.
iCapVentures Business Development Enterprise
Process
Prior to being independently traded on the Frankfurt, or once SubCo Spins-off and is an independent Frankfurt Exchange company, iCapVentures will assist SubCo in conducting a 144A and Reg S Placement to Qualified Institutional Buyers/Investors which will produce higher amounts of capitalization.
Maverix will assist SubCo in establishing and compliance for Dual listings on other foreign stock exchanges to increase the exposure of the SubCo to additional markets and investor bases.
iCapVentures Business Development Enterprise
Process
For substancial capitalization thereafter, iCapVentures will assist SubCo in the Compensating Balance Structured Collateral Loan program. An "Interest Only Structured Collateral Loan Program” - this established system of structured financing uses traditional banking mechanisms as its fundamental components. The result is a stable structure that produces a 100% monetary instrument collateral for international and domestic project financing. The primary function of the structure is to procure an institutional compensating balance depositor and a major international bank to make a loan in a like amount as the deposit, charging interest only, because a portion of the loan funds acquire insured collateral instruments which guarantee the re-payment of the principal in a fixed term certain. The result of the structure is that the borrower receives a net amount of capital that it needs to implement its project at a cost much lower than a traditional loan.

Select ventures may qualify for a Trade Platform funding relationship. We have a direct relationship to the platform manager of one of the few legitimate Trading Platforms – see General Introduction To Private Placement Trading Platforms for additional details. Other capitalization scenarios may be developed through our assistance with identifing synergistic target companies in SubCo’s sector and arranging a merger with accompaning funding. For Private Placements, we have developed a number of unique and propritary finance solutions described in detail on the following page.Skip this section and go directly to our Conclusion Section.

Please keep in mind VFA DOES NOT RAISE YOUR CAPITAL…You are a Self-Issuer and ONLY Licensed Broker Dealers or Bona-fide Employees of the Issuer can talk to potential Investors – we set you up for the greatest degree of success and “Shepherd” you through the process.
Only two entities can raise capital for you, those who are licensed by the NASD, such as Broker Dealers, Registered Financial Advisors, etc. or the issuer themselves. Review SEC Regulations concerning Who is A “Broker” (Section II A); the Issuer's Exemption (Section II[D]5); who qualifies as an Associated Person of an Issuer (Rule 3a4-1 Point 240.3a4-1 4(ii)A,B&C also applies). Are the other firms you may be talking with in compliance?

There are strategies that can help investment professionals invest in new ventures and get results that are more predictable and less volatile. If you were investing in a new venture and had the option of buying one share of stock for ten dollars with principal protection or two shares with no protection of principal, what would you do? Take the protection or the risk? iCapVentures, using their proprietary PrincipalProtector™ principal protection strategy, makes that option possible because they provide financial insurance that can guarantee to return an amount equal to 100% of the principal invested in an equity or debt funding.
PrincipalProtector™ utilizes guaranteed insurance products as collateral to enhance debt and equity funding transactions for investment professionals and entrepreneurs. The strategies provide a hedge or principal protection allocation model which afford the investment professionals and lenders with asset allocation tools that return an amount equal to their principal loan or investment in speculative funding arrangements, real estate transactions or business transactions.

Unlike zero-coupon bonds and other financial instruments, Guaranteed Contracts of Insurance ("GIC") offer tax-deferred accumulation and higher yields thereby accelerating the trust's growth.
The investor’s beneficial interest in the trust is not subject to bankruptcy or creditor claims of other investors.
The beneficial interest in the trust can be transferred to accommodate a number of investor benefits without liquidating the GIC and precipitating unfavorable tax consequences.
The trust flexibility provides for the assignment of beneficial interest, assignment of trustee, change in custodian and early exit strategies.
Virtually no risk to Principal and high yield IRR potential Guaranteed by the InsuranceContracts.
Eliminates the worst-case investment scenario... full loss of principal with no return or income. Enables investors to have the best of both worlds...safety & potentially significant returns from investment, or if used as a side-fund to protect an investment in spectulative new venture investment.
For over 8-years, Investors and entrepreneurs have successfully utilized the PPT to fund new ventures, and the program has been featured and recognized in the financial media and promoted by Inc, Fast Company, Entrepreneur and The Wall Street Journal.
► Jed Graham in a December 19, 2001 article in Investor's Business Daily said, "The plan gives ultimate safeguard: money-back guarantee. And now, despite the risk-adverse funding climate, the program, is already helping start-up firms raise cash."
► The program is also appealing to Angel investors, venture capital firms and investment professionals. A well-known author of one of America's largest financing advisory firm for small business says, "The program is the first I've seen that takes the risk out of risk capital."
► Author of Financing Ventures, Attorney for a broker-dealer securities firm who has prepared over 1,000 Private Placement Memorandums, says, "The program is a solid strategy that helps investors participate in super ventures."
(Variable-Risk Variable-Return) In the Adjustable Life Insurance concept, one can adjust from Whole to Term or Term to Whole Life in whatever incremental percentage desired, and it also allows for an increase or decrease in the amount of coverage. In a similar way, theAdjustable Private Placement Offering™ provides investors the flexibility of adjusting from Debt (Notes) to Equity (Common or Preferred Stock) and offers full principal protection. The Principal guarantee is also convertible to an increased percentage of Equity, which then would provide partial principal protection, or fully convertible to Equity which forfeits the protection - all in whatever incremental adjustments are desired by the investor - you control the amount of risk in your investments - you control the amount and type of return!

Extended Private Investment in a Public Entity – A Pass-Through Investment Structure for Private Companies. The iCapVentures Pass-Through Investment Structure is an ideal mechanism to fund certain private companies. The Pass-Through Structure suits a company that has noteworthy management or proprietary assets, seeks to raise growth capital without selling a controlling interest, yet is not ready for a public stock market. The Pass-Through Structure simply places a publicly traded company (“Pubco”) in the middle between our investment and the private company and enables us to invest in and to use our global resources to support the private company.

The Beneficiary private company receives growth capital while staying private and maintaining ownership control. The Beneficiary also benefits by having the Pubco as a strategic partner/investor and by having a multi-billion dollar, multinational fund backing them. The transaction can close very quickly once all parties agree to terms.
The Public Company benefits by (i) making a profit on its investment in the Beneficiary, and (ii) advancing a strategic interest relating to the Beneficiary which is important to the Pubco.
iCapVentures and their affiliates benefit by putting their capital to work in promising investment opportunities that would otherwise be unavailable to investors restricted to public market transactions.
IN CONCLUSION
Most of the investment banking and business development we conduct, as a company, is for our own acquisitions and internal business deals – we do however work with select issuers and provide them Investment Banking Solutions or Vend them into our BDE to assist the capitalization and success of their company/venture. If we select your company, we will engineer an organizational and financial plan that will give your company the highest probability of capital attainment and business success possible.
Our process is simply a logical progression of steps that must be taken to ensure that you always maintain a relative position of strength, maintain the vast majority of equity ownership, as well as, voting control. These are the precious elements that most business owners give up too early in the capital raising process or beginning stages of business development.
Our existing relationships with the investment banking industry provide you with comprehensive capitalization formulas to increase your leverage, achieve your funding goals quicker, and save you a great deal of money in the process. Simply put, we provide you the most comprehensive solution available anywhere, for the capitalization of your company or new venture.
IN CONCLUSION
Our fee schedule is designed so that we are equally committed to a successful capital raising effort. Our SubCo companies typically make a small investment in the initial Phase I process. The success of iCapVentures is dependent upon our successful capitalization of our SubCo companies.
If you agree with our approach as presented herein, and you have further questions about this process, please communicate with us through the contact information provided on our website, or email us below.
IN CONCLUSION
To initiate our services, a SubCo company must be able to commit a pre-determined amount of capital to the process. Certain costs must be paid as deliverables are provided and hard costs incurred for the Phase I capital raising process. If you are unable or unwilling to cover these costs, we respectifully request that you search for another firm who is willing to work with you on another basis. Notwithstanding, all costs after this initial participation in the Phase I process, are self-funding from the capitalization procured.
