Investment Considerations and Risks
Each investor is advised to consult legal, tax, investment or other professional before investing, and carefully review all the disclosures and documents provided as part of any offering materials.
Prior to registering on Manhattan Street Capital and before making an investment, you are advised to consider the risks of investing in crowdfunded securities offerings and determine whether such an investment is appropriate for you. You could lose your whole investment.
Manhattan Street Capital and its employees are prohibited from offering advice about any offering posted on Manhattan Street Capital and from recommending any investment. This means the decision to invest must be based solely on your own individual consideration and analysis of the risks involved in a particular investment opportunity posted on Manhattan Street Capital.
There are risks that you must consider when making an investment in the company on Manhattan Street Capital. Investing in private/early stage companies is very risky, speculative, and investments should not be made by anyone who cannot afford to lose their entire investment. Carefully consider the risks associated with the type of investment, security, and business before making any investment decision. Potential investors agree and acknowledge that they are responsible for conducting their own legal, accounting, and other due diligence reviews of the investment opportunities posted on Manhattan Street Capital.
Investment Risks
Principal risk: Investing in private companies and startups will put the entire amount of your investment at risk. There are many situations in which the company may fail completely or you may not be able to sell the stock that you own in the company. In these situations, you may lose the entire amount of your investment. You should not invest any funds unless you are able to bear the entire loss of the investment.
Returns risk: The amount of return on investment, if any, is highly variable and is not guaranteed. Some private companies and startups may be successful and generate significant returns, but many will not be successful and will only generate small returns, if any at all. Any returns that you may receive will be variable in amount, frequency, and timing. You should not invest any funds in which you require a regular, predictable and/or stable return.
Returns delay: Any returns may take several or many years to materialize. Most companies take five to seven years to generate any investment return if any at all. It may also take many years before you will know if an investment will generate any return. You should not invest any funds in which you require a return within a certain timeframe.
Liquidity risk: It may be difficult to sell your securities. Startup investments are privately held companies and are not traded on a public stock exchange. Also, there is currently no readily available secondary market for private buyers to purchase your securities. Furthermore, there may be restrictions on the resale of the securities you purchase and your ability to transfer. You should not invest any funds in which you require the ability to withdraw, cash-out, or liquidate within a certain period of time.
Security Risks
Instrument risk: You may be investing in preferred equity, common equity, or convertible notes. These securities instruments all have different inherent risks caused by their structure. You should take the time to understand the nature of the securities instrument that you are investing in.
Dilution: Startups and early-stage companies may need to raise additional capital in the future. When these new investors make their investment into the company they may receive newly issued securities. These new securities will dilute the percentage ownership that you have in the business.
Minority stake: As a smaller shareholder in the business you may have less voting rights or ability to influence the direction of the company than larger investors. In some cases, this may mean that your securities are treated less preferentially than larger security holders.
Valuation risk: Unlike publicly traded companies that are valued publicly through market-driven stock prices, the valuation of private companies, especially startups, is difficult to assess. The issuer will set the share price for your investment and you may risk overpaying for your investment. The price you pay for your investment may have a material impact on your eventual return if any at all.
Failure risk: Investments in startups and private companies are speculative and these companies often fail. Unlike an investment in a mature business where there is a track record of revenue and income, the success of early-stage companies often relies on the development of a new product or service that may or may not find a market. You should be able to afford and be prepared to lose your entire investment.
Revenue risk: Many startup, private and public companies are at an early phase, and may be just beginning to implement their business plan. There can be no assurance that it will ever operate profitably. The likelihood of achieving profitability should be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications, and delays usually encountered by companies in their early stages of development. A company may not be successful in attaining the objectives necessary for it to overcome these risks and uncertainties.
Funding risk: A company may require funds in excess of its existing cash resources to fund operating expenses, develop new products, expand its marketing capabilities, and finance general and administrative activities. Due to market conditions at the time the company needs additional funding, it is possible that the company will be unable to obtain additional funding when it needs it, or the terms of any available funding may be unfavorable. If the company is unable to obtain additional funding, it may not be able to repay debts when they are due or the new funding may excessively dilute existing investors. If the company is unable to obtain additional funding as and when needed, it could be forced to delay its development, marketing and expansion efforts and, if it continues to experience losses, potentially cease operations.
Business Risks
Disclosure risks: Companies that at an early stage and may only be able to provide limited information about their business plan and operations because they do not have fully developed operations or long trading history. Startups and private companies only obligated to provide limited information regarding its business and financial affairs to investors.
Personnel risks: An investment in a private company is also an investment in the management of the company. Being able to execute on the business plan is often an important factor in whether the business is viable and successful. You should be aware that a portion of your investment may fund the compensation of the company’s employees, including its management. You should carefully review any disclosure regarding the issuer company’s use of proceeds. You should also carefully consider the experience and expertise of the management team.
Fraud risks: It is possible that certain people involved in the business may commit fraud or mislead investors. If fraud or misleading conduct occurs, then your total investment may be lost. You should carefully review any disclosures regarding the company’s management team and make your own assessment of the likelihood of any potential fraud.
Lack of professional guidance: Many successful companies partially attribute their early success to the guidance of professional investors (e.g., angel investors and venture capital firms). These investors often play an important role through their resources, contacts, and experience in assisting early-stage companies in executing their business plans. Private companies and startups primarily financed by smaller investors may not have the benefit of such professional investors. You should consider the existing professional investors in the business and whether or not they or any other professional investors are participating in the current round.
Growth risk: For an early stage company or startup to succeed, it will need to expand significantly. There can be no assurance that it will achieve this expansion. Expansion may place a significant strain on the company’s management, operational and financial resources. To manage growth, the company in their early stages of development will be required to implement operational and financial systems, procedures and controls. It also will be required to expand its finance, administrative and operations staff. There can be no assurance that the company’s current and planned personnel, systems, procedures, and controls will be adequate to support its future operations. The early stage company’s failure to manage growth effectively could have a material adverse effect on its business, results of operations, and financial condition.
Competition risk: The company in their early stages of development may face competition from other companies, some of which might have received more funding than the company you invested in has. One or more of the company’s competitors could offer services similar to those offered by the company at significantly lower prices, which would cause downward pressure on the prices the company would be able to charge for its services. If the company is not able to charge the prices it anticipates charging for its services, there may be a material adverse effect on the company’s results of operations and financial condition.
Market demand risk: While the private company or startup believes that there will be customer demand for its products, there is no assurance that there will be broad market acceptance of the company’s offerings. There also may not be broad market acceptance of the company’s offerings if its competitors offer products which are preferred by prospective customers. In such event, there may be a material adverse effect on the company’s results of operations and financial condition, and the business may not be able to achieve its goals.
Control risks: Because the private company or startup’s founders, directors, and executive officers may be among the company’s largest stockholders, they can exert significant control over the company’s business and affairs and have actual or potential interests that may depart from yours. The company’s founders, directors, and executive officers may own or control a significant percentage of the business. In addition to their board seats, such persons will have significant influence over corporate actions requiring stockholder approval, irrespective of how the company’s other stockholders, including you, may vote. Such persons’ ownership may also discourage a potential acquirer from making an offer to acquire the company, which in turn could reduce the company’s stock price or prevent you from realizing a premium on your investment.
The risks highlighted above are non-exhaustive. Investors must carefully review each issuer company's offering materials for a more complete set of risk factors specific to the investment. You should only invest an amount of money you can afford to lose without impacting your lifestyle.
Types of offerings on Manhattan Street Capital
Direct Listings, Regulation A+, Regulation D, Regulation S, and STOs that utilize the same SEC Exemptions. These rule systems significantly differ from each other, so always make sure to read the offering documents before you make an investment.
Types of Securities Offered
The most common forms of securities an issuer can offer are equity or debt. The securities that the issuer companies offer on Manhattan Street Capital include the following:
Common Stock: Conveys a portion of the ownership interest in the company to the holder of the security. Stockholders are usually entitled to receive dividends when and if declared, vote on corporate matters, and receive information about the company, including financial statements. This is the riskiest type of equity security since common stock is last in line to be paid if a company fails. You should read our discussion of the risks of early-stage investing here, and pay special attention to the fact that your investment will only make money if the company’s business succeeds. Common Stock is a long-term investment.
Preferred Stock: Stock that has priority over common stock as to dividend payments and/or the distribution of the assets of the company. Preferred stock can have the characteristics of either common stock or debt securities. While preferred stock gets paid ahead of common stock, it will still only be repaid on liquidation if there is money left over after the company’s debts are paid. In certain circumstances (such as an initial public offering or a corporate takeover) the preferred stock might be convertible into common stock (the riskiest class of equity). You should review the terms of the preferred stock to know when that might happen.
Debt: Securities in which the seller must repay the investor’s original investment amount at maturity plus interest. Debt securities are essentially loans to the company and the major risk they bear is that the company does not repay them, in which case they are likely to become worthless.
Convertible Note: This form of investment is popular with technology startups because it allows investors to initially lend money to the company and later receive shares if new professional investors decide to invest. The sort of convertible note that is most often offered on Manhattan Street Capital may limit the circumstances in which any part of the loan is repaid, and the note may only convert when specified events (such as a preferred stock offering of a specific amount) happens in the future. You will not know how much your investment is “worth” until that time, which may never happen. You should treat this sort of convertible note as having the same risks as common stock.
