Centarus Business Consultants, Ltd.
Prepare your company for capital raising success
We help early-stage companies find the hidden obstacles to a successful raise and build compelling investor materials.
What sets Centarus apart
Centarus combines sophisticated securities counsel, capital-raising experience and regulatory defense insight to help clients avoid costly mistakes and build strategies with greater credibility, clarity, protection and confidence at every stage.
01
Integrated ecosystem: legal, sourcing and due diligence
While most traditional law firms strictly provide legal drafting, Centarus operates an umbrella platform: Centarus Legal Services, CentEx Due Diligence and Exemplar Capital. That means we can handle the legal PPM work while understanding broker-dealer due diligence requirements and distribution channels.
02
Defense-minded PPM drafting
Centarus has a practice arm dedicated to SEC investigation defense and regulatory litigation. We explicitly draw on that after-the-fact defense experience when drafting PPMs, building custom risk architectures designed to withstand SEC regulatory audits and investor litigation down the road.
03
A “lawyers’ lawyers” reputation
A significant portion of our business comes through referrals from general corporate law firms that lack in-house securities compliance capabilities. We act as subcontracted securities specialists for corporate practitioners structuring Reg D raises.
04
Pricing and engagement model
Centarus avoids BigLaw billing setups. We generally work on structured project fees or competitive retainer schedules for complete offering packages: PPM, subscription agreement, operating agreement or LPA, SEC Form D and state blue sky filings.
We don’t just draft materials. We use them.
There are many capable business plan consultants. Very few can also introduce client offerings to a substantial investor network, and that changes the work.
Plenty of consultants can speak generally about what investors want to see. It’s a different game when the people drafting the materials must use them to make investor introductions.
We have to use our materials to sell your offering. Most others don’t.
