When in Doubt, Consult an Expert
August 12, 2008
In 2008, Management Consulting Services are expected to generate $141 Billion in revenue in the United States (Source: IBIS World). As the needs of business continue to become more diverse and complex, the need for qualified expertise in numerous phases and aspects of business is critical for success. This is particularly true in the public markets, where inexperience negotiating the often Byzantine regulatory environment can be an extremely daunting task, and failure to maintain regulatory compliance can have disastrous results. More and more, companies are coming to recognize the substantial benefits that can come from consultation with an experienced professional.
Blackhawk Financial, Inc. (OTC: BLWK) is one of the first publicly listed companies to specialize in acquiring other companies that have the desire to enter the public markets. The Company’s management has the experience and expertise to facilitate listing on the OTC Bulletin Board, Nasdaq, AMEX, or NYSE. Blackhawk has developed a business model capable of generating revenue streams from multiple sources, including fees and/or equity positions in the companies that Blackhawk Financial takes public, consulting fees for partners, and fees derived from merchant banking services provided to clients. Blackhawk Financial has the knowledge and experience necessary to be able to accurately identify acquisition targets that operate in high value sectors and are headed by solid management teams, but that for some reason may have been overlooked or are undervalued and therefore provide the greatest potential return for shareholders. From less than 5% of the total S&P in 1980, the financial sector in 2004 accounted for nearly 22% of the total capitalization based weight of the S&P (Source: Contrary Investor). Investment Banking and Securities Dealing in the U.S. alone is expected to reach $126.96 Billion in 2008, up from $112.99 Billion in 2004, an increase of $13.97 Billion, or 12.36%, in just four years (Source: IBIS World). By providing investment banking services on behalf of its clients, Blackhawk Financial offers an invaluable service, and one with widespread demand as clearly indicated by the substantial revenue figures for the sector.
Earlier in 2008, Blackhawk Financial announced that they had completed a Merger Agreement with White Knight Consulting, a corporate consulting firm specializing in corporate asset growth. The Company focuses on purchasing distressed real estate properties with substantial equity at auctions. This agreement follows the earlier acquisition of a controlling interest in Mikie Boy Transport. In addition, Blackhawk announced that the Company has already begun receiving consulting fees as part of its Consulting Services Agreement with Business VN in order to assist them in the process of listing their shares on the European exchanges. Largely as a result of the successful conduct of operations, Blackhawk also announced plans to issue a stock distribution to its shareholders.
