Products and Services

Redwood Group International, Inc. offers a comprehensive suite of services designed to guide and support companies through various phases of capital raising and public listing. These services encompass:

• Alternative Public Offerings (APOs): Specializing in an innovative approach to take private companies public, Redwood Group International, Inc. leverages APOs by combining a reverse merger with private investment in public equity (PIPE) financing. This method allows private Chinese companies to list on U.S. or other stock markets effectively and efficiently.
• Reverse Merger into Publicly-Traded Shell: The company assists client companies in executing a reverse merger, a vital step that involves merging with a company that is already publicly traded but otherwise inactive. This process is a cornerstone in the strategy of enabling a private entity to become a public company without undergoing the traditional and often more challenging initial public offering (IPO) process.
• Capital Funding: Redwood provides expert advisory services on securing the necessary capital funding. This includes guidance on structuring financial deals, negotiating with potential investors, and preparing the appropriate documentation to support capital raising efforts, ensuring that client companies secure the investment required for growth and expansion.
• Progression to Public Market Listing: Beyond facilitating the reverse merger, Redwood Group International offers comprehensive support and consulting services that ensure a smooth transition to a public market listing. This includes regulatory compliance, corporate governance, and ongoing advisory services designed to navigate the complex landscape of being a publicly traded entity.
• Registered Follow-On Offerings: To support further growth and capital needs, the company assists in organizing and managing multiple registered follow-on offerings. These additional rounds of public financing are critical for companies looking to expand, invest in new projects, or refinance existing obligations.
