Private Equity Interview Question:

What is a private placement memorandum?

Submitted by: Murtaza

A private placement memorandum outlines the terms and conditions upon which you are offering interests in your business. You can think of it as a brochure for your business, where you alert potential investors to the facts they will need to know about your company. You can set the amount of stocks you are offering overall, the price for each, how many an investor can purchase, when that investor will receive stocks, and pertinent information about your company (such as its founders, age, projected profit, etc.).
