PART 2
Key Factor For Successful Reverse Merger
![Page 8: Reverse Merger](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022050621/54680f7cb4af9fdc518b4c2e/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Finding a suitable shell and making sure it is “clean”
A public shell could be either a public traded reporting
company or a non-trading public reporting company (A Blank
Check Company)
A public shell usually has no operation or business activities
and has no remaining employees and management team
Shells that have no significant assets can be purchased
Step One
![Page 9: Reverse Merger](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022050621/54680f7cb4af9fdc518b4c2e/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Seeking experienced law firm
Seeking reputable auditing firm
The investors of private company buy an overwhelming
majority of the shell shares for a nominal amount
and/or the shell shareholders vote to authorize the
issuance of a new large and highly diluted block of
shares
Step Two

The large block of shell company shares that is now
controlled by the private company investors are
swapped for the private company, thereby acquiring it.
The shell company now owns the assets and ongoing
business of the private company, including its name,
officers, directors and management team.
