Companies gain rapid access to the capital market, can raise interest-free and non-repayable capital without any upfront costs, and are supported by an experienced team of investment bankers, attorneys, tax advisors, and capital market specialists throughout the process.

A reverse merger is the combination of a private company with an already publicly listed “shell” company.
In this process, the private company — whether a startup, SME, or expansion project — acquires the majority of shares in the listed entity and thereby assumes its stock market listing.

As a result, the private company effectively becomes a public company, with its shares tradable on the stock exchange.

A reverse merger is thus a fast and often cost-efficient path to a public listing, enabling companies to raise non-repayable, interest-free capital through the stock market.

A reverse merger enables companies — particularly SMEs and startups — to capitalize their expansion plans or projects through the stock market, without incurring debt or repayment obligations.

It therefore represents an excellent, fast, and non-bureaucratic alternative to traditional financing options such as bank loans (credit checks, balance sheet liabilities, repayment obligations, interest costs) or venture and risk capital (high ownership dilution, loss of voting control, etc.).

Further details can be found in our sections on Financing Models and “Why Reverse Merger and How It Works.”

Depending on the structure and jurisdiction, it usually takes between 3 and 6 months.

This depends primarily on the individual capital requirements — typically starting from several million U.S. dollars and, in principle, without an upper limit — as well as on the public company selected for the reverse merger.
Key determinants include the company’s authorized share count, nominal share value, and number of available shares, which are customized during the merger preparation to meet the project’s specific capital needs.

In practice, we identify a publicly listed company that best fits the profile of the startup or expanding business.
The shares available for acquisition must simultaneously ensure:

• the retention of majority voting rights by the acquiring company,

• the required capital for growth or expansion,

• the compensation of investors through share transfers, and

• a significant reserve to cover any additional expenses (e.g., marketing of the project or promotion of the listed shares).

Accordingly, we select the most suitable listed entity for your reverse merger.

In essence, a reverse merger enables the raising of virtually any desired amount of capital through the stock market.

Once the FinCon Group has been mandated to execute a reverse merger, the process of informing and engaging interested investors begins immediately.

As soon as the minimum capital amount required for each financing has been provided by one of the investors — usually within a few days — the implementation of the reverse merger commences.

The execution phase itself — including negotiations with the shell owners, acquisition agreements, and stock exchange filings — typically takes only 3 to 4 months.

In other words: within approximately 3 to 4 months, capital begins to flow continuously via the stock exchange into the account of the respective project.

No!

What makes the FinCon Group model — and the involvement of its experts — unique is that interim financing is provided by investors.

Capital-seeking companies do not bear any upfront costs;
refinancing occurs through the capital market following the successful completion of the reverse merger.

We collaborate with specialized brokers and law firms that offer verified U.S. or EU-listed shell companies.
The selection is based on the stock exchange location, capital structure, compliance history, and strategic fit with the client company.

The valuation is determined by market comparisons, financial metrics, and industry multiples.
After the merger, the company benefits from a public market valuation that is typically higher than in the private environment.

You must provide audited financial statements (e.g., PCAOB-compliant in the U.S.), ensure full disclosure of all business data, and comply with the public reporting and compliance regulations of the respective stock exchange.

In principle, the risks of a public listing relate primarily to capital market volatility or regulatory requirements.

However, these factors are fully mitigated and actively managed through the involvement of our experienced partners — specialized attorneys, PCAOB-certified auditors, and internationally active brokers.

For capital-seeking companies, there is therefore no financial risk, as all upfront costs and interim financing are covered by our investors.
Your position remains fully protected at every stage of the process.

Yes — that is one of the key advantages.

Following the listing, the company may conduct capital increases, secondary placements, or institutional financings.

In principle, any company — regardless of its industry — may qualify for a reverse merger, provided that its capital requirements and future revenue potential justify a project volume in the multi-million range.

Particularly attractive candidates include technology companies, biotech and medtech firms, renewable energy projects, infrastructure ventures, digital platforms, AI technologies, and high-growth business models with international scalability.

These sectors tend to benefit most from a public listing, as investors typically associate them with high transparency, innovation, and strong growth potential.
