Why would I support a new venture such as Haussmann Limited?
By supporting companies like Haussmann, you are making a meaningful, sustainable, ethical, social, environmental, profitable, and industrial difference.
Each Haussmann Plant will create employment for up to 2500 people and will provide “a ripple effect” of up to 25,000 in indirect employment.
The “short on-site dry build” – click together process – of a Haussmann Home, with low or near no (zero) emissions created, (unlike conventional homes, which are wet built over many months), each Haussmann Home will leave a substantially lower environmental footprint.
Our composite materials core mixes are derived from *intermingled raw material and virgin materials. * Intermingled raw materials disposed by industry and commerce in the form of intermingled mixed solid waste which can be timber, glass, plastics, paper, cardboard, rubber, textiles, all demolished materials, are transformed by industrial processes to new composite, application, precision engineered building materials/building systems. -
What are the Benefits of our Housing Products and how are they going to change the world?
- What is Haussmann’s 10 years Projection?
As an absolute minimum, the company intends to establish 4 plants.
Each Residential Plant can produce 70, 000 homes per annum and can repurpose 750 000 tonnes of raw materials (assorted dry landfill) for each plant. With the ability to finance additional plants via the profits generated — we are able to create enormous social and environmental change — while giving back to the community.
Based on our finance model future projections, and conditions, such number of plants being brought into full production, Haussmann Limited will create substantial wealth for its shareholders, achieved by industrial production and sale of such production, as promoted, of affordable, state-of- the-art, residential housing and emergency housing.- Can I buy a Haussmann home from the production of the first or second Haussmann plant producing Residential Dwellings, if I’m residing in another country?
Yes, anybody can potentially buy a Haussmann Home anywhere in the world. For any Purchaser residing outside a Plant’s catchment area, additional transport, installation and building approval costs apply.
During our global commercialisation process intend to set up numerous Haussmann Residential and Emergency Housing Plants throughout various continents.
Each Haussmann housing product can be shipped and transported for on-site assembly; allowing us to tap into an unlimited market with an demand that cannot be met.- Fill

The Haussmann Difference
-
What are Haussmann's morals and ethics in relation to shelter, human rights, social, environmental and sustatinability?
Quoting the Australian Constitution – the rights of every person:
Article 23
Standard of living
(1) Every person has the right to an adequate standard of living, including:
(a) sufficient food and water; and
(b) clothing and housing; and
(c) access to health care services; and
(d) access to social security, including if they are unable to support themselves and their dependants, appropriate social assistance.We at Haussmann, and per our company’s policies, believe, shelter, (quality housing) is a global basic human right. To date, in our opinion, nobody seems to care or has made any effective, reasonable attempt to effectively deliver quality shelter in such quantities as demanded on a global basis.
Presently, our studies, and independent studies show, based on global demand for affordable shelter, that the market to provide affordable shelter is near unlimited.
We believe that we must protect our environment and manufacture sustainable products.
We at Haussmann are promoting justifiable economic and social, ethical development for the benefit of present and future generations. (see HML 2,000 homes donation per annum for one dollar each to nominated communities within the catchment area of each Haussmann Plant).
Article 29
Environment- Every person has the right to an environment that is not harmful to their health or well-being.
- The Commonwealth or State Government will take appropriate steps to protect the environment for the benefit of present and future generations, through reasonable legislative and other measures that:
- prevent pollution and ecological degradation; and
- promote conservation; and
- secure ecologically sustainable development and use of natural resources while promoting justifiable economic and social development.
-
What products can Haussmann produce and who are the customers?
Plant Product Customers:
Product: Affordable – residential homes.
Buyers of Haussmann residential homes – Products – sold directly to the public within the Plant’s nominated catchment areas.
Plant Product Customers:
Product: Emergency Housing
Buyers of Haussmann Emergency Housing leased directly to global aid agencies – and Governments.
Product 1 – Affordable, (State-of-the-art) Affordable Housing .
The end user of Haussmann building / housing systems is an “income restricted” person or family who otherwise would find it next to impossible to buy a quality home. People like this have a very low disposable income and they cannot afford more than 10% of their income to be dedicated to pay for housing. There are many reasons why they can buy a Haussmann Home. Haussmann product advantages include an in-house $2 dollar deposit first mortgage facility for all clients, regardless of additional security other than the Home or Land.
Product 2 – Emergency Housing.
The customers here are Government Agencies in different countries, or entities sponsored by large scale Housing Programs. Haussmann is making available and prepared to provide large scale supply contracts, which will be supported by the Governments and the First World’s Agencies who have large scale funding available for these types of products. Haussmann has a novel approach making large amounts of “anywhere now housing” available under a leasing program, with no upfront payments (take and pay contracts) other than monthly leasing payments for terms of up to 25 years.

What are the "looks" of Haussmann’s application engineered "Living Space Systems"?
New materials and industrial manufacturing and processing technologies using a select blend of *intermingled raw materials” and virgin raw materials (*mixed solid waste -intermingled raw materials), *750 000 tones per annum per plant, proprietary formulated binders, to produce new composite, application engineered building materials systems.
HM building materials systems consist of base extruded, external and internal surface finished, uniquely interlocking structural panel systems, joint “blind imbedded” services”, electricity, intelligent wiring, air-condition and hydraulic services.
HM designed, interlocking panel sizes, (in part, applied “mirror reverse”) 1.2m x 1.2m, 1.2 m x 2.4m, 1.2m x 3.6 mm and 1.2m x 4.8 m, 1.2m x 6.0m, make it possible to build any size home, individually designed, variety finished building configuration. (Rectangular, Square & Round, or a combination of all 3 Space configurations).
Haussmann Housing designs are built, on single footings – inserted steel frames. With steel frame and footings interlocking by weight and shape.
Generally, no ground preparations are required. Single footings are GPS located, drilled and placed. In ground, water/sewerage treatment plant and under foundation storage rainwater retention tanks, battery storage and off-grid solar system make any Haussmann dwelling, grid independent.
By innovation, artistic and didactic presentations putting materials and design in the service of a more equitable and sustainable future – see video animation:
- What is so special about Haussmann, compared to other providers of homes and living spaces?
The “creators” and designers of the Haussmann industrial systems have created precision engineered, mass produced living spaces, manufactured by the latest industrial manufacturing methods, in large, fully emission-controlled manufacturing plant facilities.
Annual new residential dwelling numbers currently being achieved do not exceed 240,000 dwellings per annum. To unlock the affordable housing demand, Haussmann is making dreams reality for new home owners, who, under current circumstances (terms and conditions) are unable to afford to purchase a new home, Haussmann is unlocking a new markets and supplying for such demand as no other provider of new residential dwellings can provide.
Our production systems have been developed very much like Henry Ford’s mass production of precision engineered motor cars. Haussmann’s “tailored” customer designed, precision engineered panel systems, when interlocked, dry build on site, will provide the new homeowner with a state-of-the-art home, second to none. Haussmann is making it possible for new homeowners to purchase an affordable, high quality, sustainable, superbly finished mass-produced house at the “right price” and quality.
To meet market demand, Haussmann intends to build a minimum of two Plants in Australia dedicated to producing up to 70,000 homes (affordable housing) per annum per plant. Australia’s immediate, (“yesterdays”) affordable housing demand is a minimum of 1.2 million homes.
This means it will take 2 Haussmann plants up to 10 years to satisfy this now specific demand. Home shortages based on independent studies show that actual affordable home shortage numbers have now reached critical demand and are in excess of 9 million homes which were required “yesterday”.- What technical detailed information can I access to view clear explanations on the Haussmann Manufacturing Systems?
The Haussmann website R&D link provides full information, starting with a video on Haussmann Pilot Plant Production of full size core Panels, also showing composite materials mixes, the Pilot Plant Floor Plan, Laboratory Facility, (Haussmann valuation at time of R& D completion), Emergency Housing Test Installation, Haussmann Plant Floor Plan including Supply for Goods and Services.
Sections and a 3D Walk through a Haussmann Plant. Specific generic Plant detailed information is confidential, as the composite materials technology of Haussmann’s new building materials are also a well-kept secret and will remain this way.
The technical individual understanding of the Haussmann technical information will outline the commercial understanding of the issue from plant floor plan and layout and basic plant design completed by our coordinating engineers, designed and priced including the plant establishment program in coordination with the Main Contractor.

- What are the advantages Haussmann enjoys, to enable the company to potentially sell homes at prices no other home or living space provider can provide?
Haussmann is the owner of an exclusive global technology license, issued by the building technology trust, formerly known as the 5stargreen Building Technology Trust. Extensive Research and development has been committed over many years and by many individual stakeholders to create the unique Intellectual Property of the Haussmann building systems.
The Building Technology Trust (BTT) has achieved, after many years of frustrating R&D efforts, together with European engineering and special material development groups and suppliers of machinery and equipment, the development and perfection of new building materials systems, to be mass produced by industrial production methods.
BTT created new building material composites which replace existing materials, with advantages which allows industrial mass production to make it possible to provide new building systems, which offer advantages over competitors and traditional wet building methods.- What is the Haussmann manufactured construction industrial method?
Haussmann industrial construction methods are compliant and will perform to physical performance, stability, strength, thermal and acoustic requirements, maintainability and insulation, aesthetics, functionality, versatility and flexibility. They include new materials and production methods, connecting, joining and finishing techniques. Plant blueprint designs assure implementation of “by the book” planning and coordination of production, quality control, transportation and erecting. Extensive analytical and marketing studies about the Haussmann range of products, forecast on demands, scope and characteristics and selection of the most profitable method of production and optimal locations and size of the production plant in accordance with demand within a designated “catchment”/area has been undertaken.- Will Haussmann plant production of affordable housing products as proposed to be offered, to be promoted and sold, at a substantial price reduction be sold out for many years to come?
Based on our company’s industry, customer and competitive analysis of the global housing market, our expectations for annual housing orders, once in production, and even prior to production, (pre- product pre-sales of residential dwellings as each plant will be marketed and offer pre-production sales), and based on minimum deposit, the cost of site specific vendor requested design, processing and sales documentation and first mortgage facility are the only charges applicable.
Estimated sales processing charges per each home sale will be:
- Legal Fees for preparation of Sales Contract and first mortgage agreement,
- Individual Housing Design fees, and
- AUD $1,500 Deposit, which will be fully refundable if the *contract is canceled by the Purchaser and or Haussmann has not complied with contracted terms, times of delivery and installations and general conditions of sale.
* The Home purchaser – cancellation of its contractual arrangements with Haussmann, a cooling off period of 3 months, from signing of Agreement, but will not receive the refund of cost of his or her housing design, estimated cost for 3 D design as per Purchasers instructions: AUD $1000,00 (Walk through…. 3D design…fully rendered) when canceled.Haussmann housing sales from each plant will be restricted to individual purchasers (1 home per person, no large corporate orders from developers and builders will be accepted). Pre-production sales will commence when Haussmann has established its display/show homes at its show home village (20 homes) at Coffs Harbor, NSW.
- How are Haussmann Homes priced and sold? By square meter or cubic meter?
Haussmann homes are produced and sold factory direct, (there is no involvement of “middlemen” builders or contractors or developers), and calculated and sold as/in (cubic meter) m3 sections, which form the guide and basis for client designed, individual dwellings.
HML M3 housing systems technologies and designs provides its clients with a choice of 3 standard “space” (home) sizes: Small, medium or large m3 (cubic meter) sections, which can be arranged, interconnected and interchanged as per client’s designs.
All components are modular so almost any arrangement of panels/housing systems and spaces, doors and windows and service pods are possible. Haussmann has mastered the challenge of industrialisation of buildings, single dwellings, both from architectural and technological and mass production quality points, standardising its new building components to ensure maximum design freedom with considering the final building product.
New production techniques and computer aided production, designs and robotics, permits considerable diversification of output without affecting construction feasibility and providing minimal time for on-site connections of parts. See Website animation videos about the Haussmann M3 building systems. (Dry build Residential dwellings – clipped together building systems by Haussmann home assembly team).
- Why is the Haussmann project a game changer?
We truly believe that investing in Haussmann is a value, moral and social investment. Your investment will be changing the world, and will make it a better place, protecting the environment through your actions, creating jobs for your children, producing affordable housing for mankind, encouraging sustainability and providing hope for shelter for generations to come, while at the same time creating national wealth and personal wealth and dignity, making a huge social difference. You are, as an investor in Haussmann assisting and contributing to the foundations of a fairer, better society.- How does Haussmann dispense with “conventional” on-site construction (wet build method of building Homes), while at the same time eliminating huge carbon and CO2 emissions, usually created during conventional build structures on site?
The Haussmann system has dispensed with conventional on-site construction activities. Home Infrastructure, foundations, erection, in build and finishes are carried out off-site at Haussmann’s centralised industrial manufacturing plant facilities, providing substantial product core and finishing benefits achieved by robotics, precision machining and coating processes and special production equipment and overall production organisation (“Dry build“ homes).The conventional building site work environment and physical hardship of construction work in rugged ambient conditions has been eliminated by the Haussmann building systems. All parts of construction work are now performed in a Haussmann plant, a hospitable and most effective workplace (Haussmann precision, application engineered homes).
Benefits and merits of Haussmann automated realisation housing systems, which employs automation in the production of building elements in the manufacture and prefabrication plant, performing minimal time for remaining works of erecting on-site. Industrialisation, mechanisation and automation of the building industry will save manual labor, eliminate strenuous, dirty and dangerous work, and will result in flexibility and improvement of quality overall Haussmann computer software analysis of the performance of its various buildings systems and composites of elements, structural, mechanical and environmental, checking that they conform to accepted codes and standards.
- How does our M3 building system compare with conventional construction methods?
A conventional construction process involves 20 – 30 different skilled trades. This complexity is caused by the multitude of functions., carried out on site, under the sky.A typical building must provide safe and secure shelter, must have adaptable thermal and acoustic conditions, locomotion between different areas and levels, water and power supplies, disposal of wastes, illumination, and communications with the outside world and specific functions within particular spaces for cooking, recreation, storage, sports activities and other various processes.
Those proliferations of functions and the many types of work coordinated and adapted to each on site have been eliminated by the Haussmann manufacturing process, through combined comprehensive assembly adapted to the various comprehensive multipurpose functions and applications intended.
Haussmann integrated systems have done away with this distinctive nature of every building project and most effectively, superbly enhancing user needs and creating new market conditions by advantages and as such, providing entrepreneurial alternatives to create an unlimited market for its products globally.
- What are the lifetime guarantees and benefits of a Haussmann Home and why does my home double in value, when taking possession of my new Hausmann home?
Haussmann building systems are guaranteed for 50 years, but the actual services’ lifespan may be much longer. The key to building in life cycle implications with regards to several aspects of building performance is quality, which is of paramount importance and is insured by design and control during in-plant production.
Haussmann’s flexible building cube structures are designed to be adapted to the dynamics of family growth, change of lifestyle and living standards, for use as a home or commercial premise, without modification of components, or changing of user requirements or special maintenance needs.
Haussmann building systems can be defined as a set of interrelated elements that act together to enable the designated performance of a building. It also includes various procedures and technologies, processes and designs and new materials, technologies and composites, for the production and assembling of these elements for this purpose.
Haussmann housing designs, productions and erection on-site are strongly interrelated and are parts of an integrated process, which reduces human involvement and provides improved quality of design, production and construction on-site.
The benefits of industrialised Haussmann building systems include savings on labor on-site, no skilled trades required, a substantially faster construction process and earlier completion and substantially higher quality of components due to better production “tools ” and quality control.
The Haussmann benefits are realised and provide large economic gains to its clients, due to substantially lower costs of new materials (use and processing of intermingled raw materials).
Any Haussmann home completed to lock up stage, at hand-over to the new home owner, will immediately increase by 50% in value, as the home was purchased by the home owner from Haussmann at a 50% discount of the market price.
In short, Haussmann has passed on substantial savings to the home purchaser to create an affordable home, and as such, financial benefits will become real for the new Home owners, doubling the value of his or her new home when moving in.
- Is Haussmann a Unicorn?
You often hear stories about professional investors closing obscene percentage gains on early-stage venture capital investments. Investors like Reid Hoffman, whose $40,000 investment in Facebook, when they were just a tiny startup, is worth more than $1 billion today.
The problem is, all you do is hear these stories. Because you’re not one of the insiders and have no access to private companies like Facebook when Mr. Hoffman made his investment, you’ll never get to live out the dream yourself.
Right now, as you read this, there are companies out there, start ups like Haussmann Limited, on the markets, with their stock available to you, which may have the same kind of growth potential as Facebook, or Google, or Twitter, simply based on market demand and product pricing, or any of the big household names which made other people very rich in the last few years. Now consider the huge global market demand for products to be produced by Haussmann.
Right now, the high-tech sector has never been more active, or more fertile with new ideas, processes and technologies that have shaped and will be shaping our world for decades to come.
And, as history has shown, there is no faster way to build a small investment into a true nest egg than by nailing the right tech play at the just the right moment. Everyone knows Son, the CEO of SoftBank, is the richest man in Japan. He had the “vision” to invest $20 million early on in Alibaba and that stake is now worth $138B, with total returns of 690,000% (this is the result of new technology investment).
A Haussmann Plant funded and put into production, most likely be in a profit position within year 3 or even as early as month 24, expected to be the start of plant production. Please note, It took Amazon close to10 years to make a profit, we at Haussmann project our first profits within 24 months.
Market Size, Social & Environmental
-
What is the catchment area for each one of Haussmann Australian affordable housing/building systems manufacturing plants?
The catchment area for proposed Bromelton, Queensland and Geelong, Victoria plants, (Asian Plants) is Australia, New Zealand, New Guinea and the Pacific – adjoining islands. Haussmann Limited has a clear policy to return part of its profits to the community, which indirectly provides its profits as purchasers of its products and as clients.
-
What are Haussmann’s products global Market expectations over the next 25 years?
Market demand for affordable and emergency housing worldwide and in Australia presents a huge opportunity for new, quality and affordable housing suppliers providing availability in numbers.
The United Nations Centre for Human Settlements (INHABITANT) and the Millennium Development Project estimate that currently 1.9 Billion people live in sub-standard housing; this figure is expected to grow by 500 million in 2020 if adequate housing solutions are not found, and we all know, they are not available. -
How would you describe the present status and background of Haussmann Limited?

What are Haussmann's morals and ethics in relation to shelter, human rights,social, environmental and sustatinability?
Quoting the Australian Constitution – the rights of every person:
Article 23
Standard of living
(1) Every person has the right to an adequate standard of living, including:
(a) sufficient food and water; and
(b) clothing and housing; and
(c) access to health care services; and
(d) access to social security, including if they are unable to support themselves and their dependants, appropriate social assistance.We at Haussmann, and per our company’s policies, believe, shelter, (quality housing) is a global basic human right. To date, in our opinion, nobody seems to care or has made any effective, reasonable attempt to effectively deliver quality shelter in such quantities as demanded on a global basis.
Presently, our studies, and independent studies show, based on global demand for affordable shelter, that the market to provide affordable shelter is near unlimited.
We believe that we must protect our environment and manufacture sustainable products.
We at Haussmann are promoting justifiable economic and social, ethical development for the benefit of present and future generations. (see HML 2,000 homes donation per annum for one dollar each to nominated communities within the catchment area of each Haussmann Plant).
Article 29
Environment- Every person has the right to an environment that is not harmful to their health or well-being.
- The Commonwealth or State Government will take appropriate steps to protect the environment for the benefit of present and future generations, through reasonable legislative and other measures that:
- prevent pollution and ecological degradation; and
- promote conservation; and
- secure ecologically sustainable development and use of natural resources while promoting justifiable economic and social development.

How does Haussmann Limited intend to manage its 360º social responsibility programs?
Most Businesses are created for what ever reason, but mostly to make profits for its owners and shareholders and very little or no consideration is given to social impact or giving back to employees or the community, as clearly any business provides goods or services to the community within its market catchment area.
Starting a new industry, we not only change the game of providing affordable and sustainable living spaces, homes, we do much more.
As a 21st Century Industry, we not only have obligations to our employees, shareholders and owners, we also have a social and environmental obligation to the community.
The Haussmann Manifesto is the ethical, socially responsible “building stone” and foundation” of our organisation. Haussmann is sharing its profits with its employees and the community in an advanced way, bringing social balance to all concerned, avoiding social injustice and possible future revolutions, caused by the imbalance of equity.
The great social imbalance of affordable shelter and quality homes, is causing worldwide social tensions which are ever increasing, and it is sad to say, that no government and/or private organisation has ever tackled such imbalance in an industrial, sustainable and affordable way.
Haussmann specific products to be produced offer affordable, state-of-the-art housing for local markets and emergency housing, (an export product), which will provide a novel solution of supply for many lucky recipients.
Global emergency housing demand is in the 10’s, possible hundred of millions.
Haussmann commits to donate to its communities /early investors, within the Plants’ catchment areas, 2,000 homes per annum, per plant for 20 years. 1 000 of the donated homes can only be leased out for maximum $ 50 per week (rental). This will provide shelter for the homeless and families now living on the street and/or in cars and other substandard shelters. (In 2020 – 120,000 Australians were homeless and sleep on the street.)
Haussmann, at all its plants, when in full production, including all Haussmann Offices, is offering a 4 day working week, double superannuation payments for each employee, free private health insurance which will includes full hospital care, plus education/ University education scholarships funding for gifted children, which is a further commitment to creating a fairer society and a most dedicated workforce.
Haussmann will provide affordable housing fully funded (first mortgage for each purchaser, on condition of ability to service such a loan facility) on a $2 dollar deposit. Haussmann Homes are 50% reduced in price, plus Haussmann’s near no deposit in house finance will open the “flood gates” of demand for housing and housing orders. This unique offer is now available to millions of people in Australia, New Zealand, New Guinea and inhabitants of the Pacific Islands.
Haussmann will be a great job creator, providing well paid and meaningful permanent employment for over 2500 people per plant. Haussmann intends to build, over a 8 – 10-year program, up to 5 manufacturing plants in Australia.
Haussmann has created a fully sustainable product, with a raw material input of up to 80 % of mixed solid waste, which we call intermingled raw materials, making our project a brilliant project, taking care of societies’ housing demand, providing large employment, affordable housing, respecting the environment and our natural resources, and providing all concerned with a better solution – which makes all concerned – winners !
We are proudly planning and implementing and creating a better and fairer society by implementation of our company’s policies and commercialising our project. Each Haussmann Plant, when in full production, will provide annual donations to the Plant’s catchment areas communities of AUD $ 750 million for a term of up to 22 years. -
What global Studies have been undertaken to provide information on Global Housing Deficits?
There is no concise report into this subject. Haussmann conducts ongoing research through its Research Analyst according to topics that need to be covered in this crucial social matter, such as provisions of quality affordable shelter for mankind.
For example, the following countries, individually and combined have large housing deficiencies that no housing systems manufacturer can meet. Facts are, given the price is right and the quality will meet national standards, unlimited demand will await each housing systems manufacturing plant.
Recent ABC Radio announcements in this matter, 1st. February ’18, have been recorded, stating that in Australia, 9.9 million individuals and families have given up the dream of owing their own home ever.
On a country by country basis, the pool of housing shortage is as follows: In Mexico about 8,000,000 and growing at about 1,000,000 annually.
In China about 50,000,000 and growing at about 10,000,000 annually.
In the Philippines about 3,200,000 and growing at about 500,000 annually.
In Thailand 2,000,000 and growing at about 150,000 annually.
In the former republics of the Soviet Union the shortage is about 15,000,000 and growing at about 3,000,000 annually.
This clearly does not cover major population centers including the United States and Europe and many other countries.
Given Haussmann is able to bring into production 2 Housing systems manufacturing plants, keeping in mind preferred plant client catchment areas are Australia, New Zealand, New Guinea and the Pacific Islands, it will take up to 10 years to produce and build 1.2 million homes.
We have clear confirmation based on our prospective clients’ purchase ability, made possible by Haussmann affordable home offers, that each Haussmann Plant production will be sold out over the total of its 25 year production.

Haussmann Limited, the company, has minimal business overheads.
Its two principal activities are promotion of the Haussmann System/establishment of the Haussmann Plants and development/maintenance of the Haussmann Technology.
The expenditure recorded in the company’s forecast statement shows the expenditure which will be incurred in the above areas plus running of the company. Future expansion will be distributed into the projects SPV where consulting and manpower will be hired according to the needs of the project.
The Haussmann Website discloses the site-specific Project Management information showing utilization of resources. No matter how many projects Haussmann is progressing, the core of the business will remain, and regional offices will not expand over and above office establishment staffing levels.
Resources will be deployed as necessary, within the individual projects SPVs. The Directors have set the dividend distribution policy. All contractual arrangements to plan, build, design, and provide/supply of goods and services and ongoing Plant management are directly contracted with Haussmann Limited via nominated SPV. -
What is Haussmann’s Business Description and Status of Development?
Haussmann Limited will be a global Enterprise. Its first head office will be based in Australia. The Key technology components are fully developed and will be supplied from Germany, United States, Canada, and Australia.
The Haussmann Plant projects’ Head office will be situated in Berlin, Germany, Australia and the United States with further potential plants to be established in South America, and a number of other locations in Asian and the African continent. -
What is the Haussmann Capital Structure?
Haussmann is an Australian unlisted Public Company.
Capital structure refers to our company’s outstanding debt and equity. This allows us to understand what kind of funding our company uses to finance its overall activities and growth. As a rule of thumb, the higher the proportion of debt financing a company has, the higher its exposure to risk, but the higher its convertible holdings/shares. At this stage of commercialisation, Haussmann has no debt.
Determining our corporation’s capital structure – we calculated the percentage of the total funding that each component represents. By analysing our corporation’s financial statements, we are able to compile a list of all the capital components on the books.
We aim to create an optimal capital structure, which we believe, is the best mix of debt and equity financing that maximises a company’s market value while minimising its cost of capital. Minimising the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) is one way to optimise the possible lowest cost mix of financing.
Capital Structure Ratio – external-internal Equity Ratio measures the relationship between our external debts/equity/outsiders fund and internal equities/shareholders fund. We believe this is a measure of long-term solvency. -
What is the role of the Haussmann Plant Implementation Project Manager?
The nominated Project Management Company has a very strong track record in planning and implementing large scale projects. The Project Manager’s Role is to provide Turnkey infrastructure plant establishments and nominated specialist consulting Services.
Based on Haussmann designed Plant Blueprint, this will need to be completed by the appointed Main Contractor, Plant Engineering Group. The Project Management Company will appoint the relevant contracted entity to plan, design, construct, and hand over fully tested and commissioned Haussmann Plants, in the first instance for our first plant in Australia.
Haussmann Limited will provide the nominated Project Management Company and Main Contractor with a take out guarantee at month 18, after the plant has been tested, commissioned and handed over to a Haussmann appointed and contracted Plant Management Company for the term of up to 25 years. (Please note, first plant hand over may be extended to month 22 or month 24). -
Who is appointed to carry out Operating Responsibilities in Haussmann Limited?
Present operating responsibilities are as directed by its Board of Directors. On hand over/ turn key, by the Project Management company, and Plant Engineering Group, at the completion of testing and commissioning of each Haussmann Plant, Haussmann will have appointed a Plant Management Company, to manage such plant for the term of up to 25 years.
All corporate and statutory functions of the company such as accounting and audit, compliance with law and regulations and similar, are undertaken by the company’s appointed Accounting Firm via nominated SPV. (Special Purpose Vehicle – Bromelton Plant). -
What are Haussmann’s Strategic Issues?
This segment of the report deals with the strategic issues facing the company.
Business Strategy: The core business strategy of Haussmann is to retain the ownership of its Profit Centers – the Haussmann Plants, with proposed variations of being part Plant owner and or Technology Transfer Company. This means that the company will retain majority ownership in each Plant but will establish each plant via an SPV and will operate the plants via a plant management company.
Haussmann will concentrate its resources to develop and establish a number of plants in Australia and globally, but will maintain an ongoing R&D program and will continuously plan, establish and commission Plant developments and secure markets for its Plant establishments and Technology by obtaining large forward contracts.
Research & Development
-
When was the first pilot plant production established and what was achieved?
Laboratory trials and full-size pilot productions (manual production) started in early and mid 2006 and finished in May 2017. Finals Trials in 2017 achieved a further major product advancement = 2 1/2 times tensile strength of core panel composite mixes which will make the end product more profitable, cheaper and easier to produce.
-
How was the new composite materials technology achieved and who undertook testing and provided independent test results?
After a phase of laboratory and full-size panel production, independent testing institutions (state and private organisations in Germany) conducted analysis that demonstrated a number of exciting performance outcomes for our composite product formulations, panel core interconnections and building systems.
Based on those established formulations and processing know-how and designs, Haussmann will reproduce full size panel systems in Australia at its pilot plant. This will provide such samples to relevant approval authorities (non –structural panel M3 building systems), and produce sufficient quantity of M3 building systems to build our first 20 display homes at Coffs Harbor, which will assist our Plant Residential Marketing organisation to pre-sell Haussmann residential homes prior to and during construction and commissioning of the Bromelton (SDA) Queensland plant establishment. -
Where can I view the original Pilot plant video, and the first production of core, full size M3 building systems panels?
Haussmann website link – Vision will show a production video of our first of a number of pilot plant productions in Germany.
-
How is our IP protected and what IP will be published and registered as Patents and Trademarks?
Haussmann intends to apply and hold a number of patents, once patent pending period and patent application have been actioned. Application process, to be lodged by our appointed Patent Attorney, on behalf of Haussmann Limited, authorized by BTT, the Licensor, – Australian patent application lodgment will need to be followed by global regional grouped patent applications.
We are seeking to apply for patents for Haussmann building systems designs and manufacturing plant processes and design. Application engineered, composite materials formulations are not disclosed and or patented. Trademarks will be registered on a global basis once our first plant engineering blueprint is completed.
Haussmann Plants
-
Can I take a walk through a Haussmann Plant?
The Website Link: Vision: R&D provides a virtual “slide show” showing all different plant production sections, from acceptance of mixed solid waste, – intermingled raw materials to finished product dispatch.
-
What does a typical Haussmann Plant infrastructure consist of when producing affordable housing for the local market?
Haussmann’s website link, “Project”, shows a one-page picture of typical Haussmann plant infrastructure establishment, with plant information combined in a screenshot picture with easy to understand text outlined.
This shows plant infrastructure, including a gas fired/Hydrogen plant, incoming and outgoing rail systems and shunting lines, 2 container hardstands for incoming and outgoing container storage, Building 1, ( 800 x 450 meters) producing Haussmann M3 building systems, Building 2, (600 x 450 meters) satellite supply plant producing doors and windows, kitchens and in-builds, Thermo Synthetic solid surface materials production, bathroom section-fabrications assembly and storage, heavy engineering and container fabrication and internal road systems between buildings and container terminals and loading and dispatch areas.
Our total Plant infrastructure area is typically 100 Acres minimum. -
Who are the typical Haussmann Plant suppliers of goods and services?
The Haussmann Website Link – Procurement has total project details which are listed with preferred and nominated relevant industries and suppliers of goods and services. A preferred list of suppliers listing the companies and their products, in part, will be supplied by expressions of interest, by licensed appointment.
-
Where can I get hold of the original BTT stakeholders' list/investors?
Early investors in the 5stargreen building technology trust (BTT) are listed together with documented original investment amounts.
Haussmann as part of its license agreement with BTT, will re-list BTT stakeholders as Haussmann shareholders, who, like any other Haussmann investor, will become part plant owners according to their holdings.
Summary R&D budget over a 14-year period was in excess of AUD $ 40 million. Any Disclosure after execution of HML’s NDA. -

How does Haussmann Limited control the supply of Goods and Services?
Each Haussmann plant will have supply contractual arrangements with local suppliers and HML policy dictates to acquire by merger and or full acquisition, all such suppliers. Standard % acquisition policy is a 50% equity position or strategic partnership or outright Management Contract with profit share for a term of up to 25 years.
For Haussmann plant production and business to be successful, Haussmann Limited must control all supplies, as this is crucial for the success of its business.
Profit projections from acquisitions and mergers, have not been quoted, as at present, Haussmann has not placed specific acquisition contracts, and accordingly can only quote estimated annual profit summaries in those areas. The expression of interest process will apply to acquisitions and/or supply of goods and services. Should supply locally not be available, it will be sourced from Japanese, European, Canadian and US suppliers, (from regions and countries labour is properly and fairly remunerated).
-
What is the Haussmann Plant Licensing System and how does it work?
The Haussmann Licensing System has been developed to facilitate establishment of the Haussmann Plants on the project finance basis. The fundamental premise is that Haussmann the Licensee, will share some of the income stream and the profits with the Licensor, BTT. The Plant licensing system achieves this objective by applying a % share of value, charged on value of goods and services contracts provided by third parties. (Royalty and or License fee).
-
Who will undertake each Haussmann plant’s engineering programs, blueprints and design, and build and operate to final stages of commissioning?
At this stage, all contract allocations for any HML plant, except for project management of a plant, so for design, build and operate a plant, will be allocated by local expressions of interest, other than European contracted arrangements – a Haussmann license condition to allocate the first right and contractor preference arrangement, which is partly in place with original R&D contributors and previous BTT pilot plant designer and operator, (a major, privately owned German engineering group).
-
What is the operational cost structure of a typical Haussmann plant?
Operating Cost Structure:
(Typical Haussmann Plant) (Panel Production only)
The Operating Cost Structure of the Haussmann Plant is sectioned into a number of different segments. These are driven by the manufacturing establishment structures and considerations. These sections are: Primary Processing – This is the processing that manages the incoming – intermingled raw materials – waste streams. The key components here are: in most countries the Haussmann Plant receives payment for accepting intermingled raw materials from Haussmann’s owned Transfer Stations. This is referred to as the Acceptance Fee and is shown as income. One could say that Haussmann the manufacturer gets paid to receive up to 80% of its raw materials. This amounts to minimum $330 million. Where Haussmann receives the Acceptance Fee, the risk analysis section of the financial feasibility assumes that Haussmann will pay 50% more (per tonne) on a lesser tonnage (10% of incoming waste). So, there will be a cost item shown under “Tip Fees Paid” recording these payments made by the Plant. This may amount to minimum of $25 million. The Net Income from Acceptance Fees is therefore minimum $305 million. The cost of Operating the Plant infrastructure is minimum $200 million. This is made up of Direct Labor, and Factory Overheads minimum of $10.6 million, including depreciation and financing expenses. Minimum amounts quoted are quotations, as a typical Haussmann Plant, minimum automated footprint, will in the first instance produce up to 10,000 homes per annum, with a ramp up production period of 24 months to achieve the production output of 10,000 homes and a ramp up period of up to 36 months which may achieve the production of up to 70,000 homes per annum.Secondary Processing: The manufacture of application engineered composite materials panel /building systems, by mixing and blending re–processed intermingled raw materials with virgin raw materials such as special cements, binders and other material and liquids. This segment includes special machinery and processes supplied by European /German and US/Canadian Manufacturers. Total Outgoings are minimum $443.7 million including $366 million for direct materials, minimum $ xxx million in royalties, in Overheads and in Direct Labor, when in full production. The above does not include depreciation of machinery and equipment, nor does it include financing costs. (Generic Plant model) (Above quoted figures are best estimates and will increase as production will increase from 10,000 homes up to 70,000 homes production per annum).
Tertiary – Robotic – Processing: After application engineered composite materials (building panels/housing systems) have been produced to specific shapes, they are further shaped, and surface finished prior to initial “dip coating” process completion. Further coating processes with new polymers and or water based high quality coatings will finish each surface of a panel. This segment covers the material movement of surface finishing, drying, coating, storage and ultimately dispatch. Total Outgoings are minimum $136 million including cost of direct materials of minimum $110 million, direct labor of minimum $8 million and minimum $18 million in Other Costs and Overheads. The above does not include depreciation of machinery and equipment, nor does it include financing costs. (Generic Plant Model) Site specific Plant models may differ to costs and profits achieved, depending on time of production and “local conditions).
Commercialisation
-
When and How does Haussmann intend to commercialise and fund its game-changingbuilding systems and industrial manufacturing processes?
We are currently negotiating with various parties and stakeholders to assist us to roll out our first commercial scale applications of the Haussmann Building Systems in the World. It is important that we get these early stages right. Our planning suggests initial start of production might be possible by 2022 – 2023
In parallel with our small investor and sophisticated investor funding programs, (via equity crowd funding platforms globally), and the fund raising program via our Australian IPO and issue of debt instruments, convertible Bonds – government grants and special loan allocations will support our Bromelton Plant establishment project. Securing funding by selling HML equity and debt creation, to provide funding for the establishment of our first Manufacturing Plant is an investment to create a world first, industrial production of affordable Housing/ “Real Estate” to be followed by multiple Plant establishments on a global basis. -
Will Haussmann Limited establish an initial Head office and where?
Haussmann’s preferred location is within the South-East Queensland corridor, close to Coolangatta Airport. The office will double as liaison office for the establishment of and SPV entity for the management of the establishment of Bromelton Plant infrastructure. A commercial manager to manage HML’s SPV is nominated for appointment.
All initial marketing presales Residential Dwellings activations are to be carried out initially from Haussmann’s regional office and then transferred to a nominated SPV office. In time, Haussmann will establish a European Office in Berlin and its North American Office in New York to assist pre- preparations for its Plant establishments in Germany and the United States, as we need to be a “local company” to achieve and be permitted to lodge grants with state and federal Government entities. -
How does Haussmann intend to "roll out" proposed rapid global expansion programs?
To speed up global Haussmann Plant establishments expansion programs, Haussmann may consider to transfer rights by “Plant License” issued to competent, cashed up organisations looking for new profit centres and diversification via Strategic Partnership, contracting for plant establishment with a “local major organisation”.
Upon completion of a contracted Plant(s) establishment, contracted and licensed to a part owner, the group (SPV), that will build and own a HML Plant, Haussmann can enjoy the benefits of substantial developer’s profits via the SPV.
-
How does Haussmann intend to fund its Vendor finance – First Mortgage offer, offered to each of its home purchasers at near no deposit, (which will be conditional on proof of serviceability of contracted first mortgage loan facility)?
Haussmann intends, on an ongoing basis, to issue bonds to fund its plant expansions and first mortgage funding programs, which will also be the funding source for its $2 deposit first mortgage (vendor finance, secured over each home funded and made available to each home purchaser). First Mortgage Bonds are secured over the Property as a mitigated risk investment.
Each Haussmann home loan facility is fully insured against default by the vendor. On default, the Vendor will have a time frame of up to 12 months to achieve agreed loan repayment minimum, in the interim until such time, the insurer will make payments for agreed minimum monthly payments for the term of 12 months.
Haussmann will not put any home buyer or family, funded by Haussmann’s first mortgage, in a position of being “unloaded” by the mortgagor on to the street! Haussmann is a responsible, moral and ethical enterprise.
-
What contracts are available by expressions of interest or tender, mergers and acquisitions or strategic partnerships?
Australian Procurement Group – appointed. A more detailed outline will be part of Haussmann’s business procurement undertakings, (see website link – Procurement), listing all nominated preferred suppliers of goods and services, by specific supply and industry category etc., and all such contractors nominated and/or appointed and/or contracted specifically for a nominated plant location.
All contracts are, in the first instance, identified by preferred calls for expressions of interest by Haussmann from organisations and businesses able and capable to undertake (by special contractual arrangements) provision of goods and services to establish, install all infrastructure, machinery and equipment at each and every Haussmann plant, Waste Management Transfer Station infrastructure, Building 1 and Building 2, Container Hardstands (2) internal Rail infrastructure, Power Plant, Solar Farm, Gas Pipeline, internal Road Systems, (Waste Management Transfer Station located at nominated Brisbane outer Suburb industrial area). -
How are the Haussmann Plant implementation Projects financed?
All Haussmann Projects are financed off balance sheet, and to a smaller part on balance sheet. In other words, Haussmann may not propose to approach finance markets (debt or equity) in its own right to arrange funding for each project separately. On that basis, in order to finance each Project (Plant) the following project structure will be put in place:
All approvals, blueprint, licenses, permits including EIS3 must be in place and effective, and financed via IPO (NSX listing) and global equity crowd funding programs.
There must be a Plant Owner Company (POC) established. Initially Haussmann owns all of the equity and this gets sold down to remaining Grant Content Equity and debt % = 75%. The Grant and Debt Content % per Plant, represents Haussmann’s “free carried equity” and forms part of its Share remuneration package.
Haussmann will sell a Plant License to SPV and later on to a POC. This enables the POC to receive the Haussmann System and all its technology. The site for the plant is located and secured. Haussmann may adopt to issue convertible Bonds, to achieve debt funding for plant establishment, and all such costs minus grants will be based on an 8-year bond debt arrangement. Haussmann will enter into a Turnkey agreement with its nominated Project Management Company and selected Main Contractor/ Plant Engineering Group via nominated Plant SPV.
This means that the SPV – via nominated contractors, will seek plant approvals, undertake all such planning to activate the build the plant, pay all vendors and the Main Contractor and manage nominated Plant for up to six (6) months after the commissioning.
Haussmann may adopt different plant establishment funding models, depending on Plant location and availability of debt funding sources. -
Can I apply for a Haussmann License to become a Haussmann Home Installer team member within my State?
Each Haussmann Plant will have its own marketing, home design services and approvals division, which will manage home sales, each customer’s home approvals, and, if applicable, financial loan facility and home establishment at a nominated location. Haussmann’s Builder’s License and other license arrangements in NZ and NG and the Pacific Islands will permit HML to build residential dwellings for any Home Purchaser.
In the pre-plant establishment period, (after Haussmann receives its first plant establishment approvals, and to achieve pre-plant establishment forward home sales contracts), Haussmann Limited Regional Head office will establish a home marketing organisation, design and approvals division. The Haussmann Limited, Housing Assembly Project Management organisation will seek expressions of interest from individuals to be trained to install Haussmann Homes, talented individuals, “locals” (State by State) in Australia, New Zealand and New Guinea and the Pacific Islands, to form teams capable of being trained to build Haussmann homes, (the M3 building “click together” building systems) on site. Each team will be instructed by Haussmann’s appointed Team Leader and will be trained and supervised on site by HML, a licensed Builder. Haussmann does hold a Builder’s License to build Homes in Australia and will hold such licenses in New Zealand, New Guinea and the Pacific Islands. -
How many building systems/manufacturing plants does Haussmann intend to establish in Australia and globally? (Affordable housing and emergency housing plants).
As outlined above, Haussmann plants will produce 2 types of products for:
A) the local market, which is affordable, state of the art housing – residential dwellings.
B.) an export range of products, emergency housing, being leased to major global aid agencies. (net profits are based on 5-7 % of leasing amount contracted).
Proposed establishment of:- 2 affordable housing systems manufacturing plants and 3 export emergency housing manufacturing plants in Australia.
- One affordable housing systems manufacturing plant in Sassnitz Germany and one plant in Selma Alabama, in the United States of America.
- Further Plants may be established by plant license transfer to approved partners.
- Demand for affordable housing globally is significant. Globally displaced populations exceed 92 million people. (Emergency Housing) Australian and Regional Residential housing shortage numbers are in the millions. (Affordable and new Housing – Residential Dwellings).
-
Why does Haussmann seek stock market listings for its plant corporate entities by IPO and reverse mergers?
Each Haussmann plant infrastructure project has a combined establishment and operational establishment value of up to AUD $850 million.
To achieve successful bond issue take up/acceptance by global investors, the corporate entity, Haussmann Limited, (the plant owner), needs to be a fully transparent and audited public company/ organisation, and, as such, Haussmann as a publicly listed entity on the NSX provides such corporate entity characteristics, as demanded by global corporate investors, institutional lenders and Governments.
Ease of, and achievable fund raising and liquidity in Haussmann shares is most important to all investors, which will also allow ease of investment exit. -
When does Haussmann intend to appoint a "lead manager" (corporate adviser) to assist in public listings and arrangements of road shows for Bond issues to raise funds globally?
Key appointments, like the plant project management, accounting firm, stock broking firm and/or merchant banker – the lead manager for the issue and placement of our first IPO to program and to prepare a global road show to promote Haussmann bonds, will enable Haussmann to secure large funding parcels for the establishment of each and every Haussmann plant. By “acquisition of debt” Haussmann will be obtaining and retaining equity over time, as the largest equity shareholder in every Haussmann plant for each and every Haussmann shareholder.
-
Who are the nominated contracted parties to plan, design and build Haussmann plants?
Haussmann’s local goods and services content policy dictates the use of local content for the HML Haussmann has nominated a Brisbane based Procurement Group. Plant establishment and preparations of planning approvals is being contracted with a Brisbane based project management group. Haussmann will appoint by expressions of interest a “local” (Australian) civil engineering and construction group, and the same will apply to all plant engineering and other main contracting arrangements, including a Brisbane based coordinating engineering group.
General and custom designed processing machinery and equipment will be sourced in Europe and North America. Heavy plant engineering, including fabrication of Haussmann containers will be allocated and fabricated by expressions of interest to local companies, possibly through strategic partnerships – to be located at Building 2, at the Bromelton Plant as container fabrication is part of Building 2 Haussmann plant infrastructure.
(See Bromelton Haussmann M3 building systems manufacturing plant infrastructure). (Supply contracts disclosure information – preferred companies and suppliers, based on previous negotiations and supply offers – see Haussmann Prospectus document –Website link: Procurement). -
Will Haussmann Limited go public, or will each plant corporate entity go public?
Haussmann, the majority plant owner of each plant, will go public via the NSX and then by reverse merger on to the ASX, as soon as possible. Dual Listings will apply and once Plant preparations for Sassnitz have been activated, Haussmann will list on the Berlin Exchange.
The same will apply once Plant preparations have commenced at Selma, Alabama, for Haussmann to List on Nasdaq.
To enable Haussmann to qualify as a national company in Europe and the United States, each Haussmann Plant will be owned by a national entity. -
What is Haussmann’s Australian expansion program and when does Haussmann intend to activate its global plant implementation programs?
Over a period of 8 – 10 years (the 10-year plan), Haussmann intends to establish 5 manufacturing plants in Australia, one plant in Sassnitz Germany and one Plant in Selma, Alabama, in the United States.
Other Plant establishments may be sought and progressed by strategic partnership arrangements in other global locations. Demand for affordable housing and shelter, at cost, quality and quantity supply offers is near unlimited – Haussmann’s offer creates those demands and will meet those demands as created and demanded by prospective home purchasers. -
Where and When can I purchase my first Haussmann Home?
As part of the first local Plant to be established in Australia, Haussmann will commission a laboratory and a “one off” Pilot plant production Facility. Haussmann will produce full size building systems at this facility, in the first instance to produce full size application engineered composite panel systems to provide government licensed facilities for building systems and building products approval to Australian Standards.
The “one off” manual production facility will also produce full size building systems in such quantities as to enable Haussmann Limited to build at a selected central location, 20 Haussmann Show / Display Homes to support national sales of Haussmann Home systems. Once Plant Blueprints have been completed and the Bromelton and Geelong Plant locations have been secured, Haussmann will form a Housing Systems Marketing Company, pre-selling housing, to be produced at its Plant facility at Bromelton. -
Where can I see and walk through a Haussmann build Home or Homes? (Show Homes)
Haussmann will place its Show Homes within a central national location, with the preferred location being Coffs Harbor, NSW. We expect to build and establish those show homes within the next 12 months, and/or after receipt of Building approvals.
Public Company Listing & Funding
-
Why is Haussmann going public?
Going public is a powerful tool if used properly. As a public company one gains a great deal of prestige and credibility that one does not have as a private company. This prestige and credibility can also make it easier to raise capital.
The long-term benefits of being publicly traded are numerous and can include: improved liquidity, higher company valuation, the ability to make acquisitions, attract and retain employees with the company’s stock and greater access to capital at a lower cost and transparency. In addition, being a publicly traded enterprise allows a company to make acquisitions with its stock, since public company stock can be used and is viewed sometimes as currency for mergers and acquisitions. -
Why is Haussmann going public via reverse mergers?
Many people contact us asking what a *reverse merger is. Here is an explanation of what a reverse merger is. Simply taking our company public directly without the need for a public shell. A common way that small companies go public is through a reverse merger with an existing public company. In a reverse merger, an operating private company merges with a public shell company which has no assets or known liabilities (the “shell” corporation). The public shell corporation is called a “shell” since all that exists is its corporate shell structure and shareholders.
The private company obtains the majority of the shell’s stock (usually 96 percent or more). The private company normally will change the name of the public company (to its own name) and will elect its Board of Directors which will appoint the officers. Public companies typically get huge valuations; so, when you’re raising capital as a public company, not only is it easier because of the credibility, but you can give away a much smaller percentage of the company for the amount of capital you raise because of the increased valuation a public company usually receives when compared to the same exact private company.
As a public company, if one follows certain guidelines, including registering stock with the Securities and Exchange Commission, you can even advertise to the general public for investors to buy stock. This is prohibited for private companies. This levels the playing field and makes it easier to raise capital. Haussmann’s consulting advisors will build a new public shell company for us, once we identify the private company, the public shell or blank check company merger can be accomplished within a week or two. (The SEC Securities Exchange Commission registered shell company is ideal for consultants, CPA’s and attorneys, who may have clients that want to go public).
When merging a company in the United States, appointed advisers/consultants/Listing Agents will need to file a Form 8-K with the SEC. Most public shells ready for sale are not listed on a national securities exchange, but are instead traded in a less glamorous setting, such as the OTC Bulletin Board. Of course, they can be renamed and moved, but that may negate the cost and time advantages originally sought. Yet reverse mergers are not all bad.
Even the New York Stock Exchange did one with the acquisition of Archipelago Holdings via a “double-dummy” merger in 2006 in a $10 billion deal to create the NYSE Group. Some people believe that reverse shell mergers may soon become the preferred IPO approach for emerging high-growth companies. In fact, the quality of companies taking the back door into a public exchange seems to be getting stronger and has become the avenue of choice for Asian companies seeking to go public in the American market.
Being public makes the company more visible to shareholders and potential acquirers and provides a presumption of future liquidity. Other than raising money, the reverse merger may be the quickest way to get you other benefits of a public company. These include the ability to offer meaningful stock options to employees, the use of liquid shares to purchase other companies, and the credibility and public access to information you need to attract key customers and suppliers.
In summary, a reverse merger, or going public through the “normal” IPO process should never be seen as just a way to fund our start-up. It is a strategic decision that may indeed attract more funding, but also will likely change the culture and focus of a company, and our role as an entrepreneur to corporate executives. Small capital, Berlin reverse mergers are less complicated, prepared and managed by German specialist corporate advisers and market makers.
