How to Take Your Business Public

Clark Nichols has spent a lifetime helping companies build their businesses, both as an employee in his early years, as an owner in his ambitious years, and as a consultant in his productive years. He is a natural born entrepreneur infused with a missionary zeal to help the next generation of entrepreneurs learn that business is a clean and honorable profession bound by rules of propriety as well as law.

Clark consults with companies in their infancy and has never had a failure. By the time companies reach adolescence, which by Clark's definition begin s after the second year, the true test of management begins and Clark's work is done. In his heyday, Clark helped more than forty companies go public, many through reverse mergers.
