Preferred equity investing explained
How it works: Investors receive a share of the ownership of the business by investing directly or through a pooled entity.
Use this simple calculator to determine how much ownership of the company you receive.
How much equity will I receive?
Two key terms to understand in preferred equity offerings
Equity represents ownership in a business. Since investors are providing capital to the business in order for the business to operate, they receive preferential treatment as it relates to certain activities of the business. There are two key terms to focus on when considering a preferred equity offering:
Valuation: Valuation represents the agreed upon price at which the business is being valued in the fundraise. There is not set method for determining what the valuation of a business is, especially for early stage companies. It is simply a number to be negotiated between the business and potential investors. Investors will want a lower valuation, so that they receive a greater percentage ownership in the business. Businesses will want a higher valuation, so that they give up less ownership. Typically with early stage businesses, you can expected to give up anywhere between 20% and 50% of your company in a preferred equity fundraise. Typical valuations for early stage businesses range from in the hundreds of thousands to $5 million.
Liquidation preference: A liquidation preference represents the order in which proceeds of the business are distributed in the event that the business is sold. Often, preferred equity will come with a 1x liquidation preference, meaning investors receive 1 times their investment back before any other funds are distributed to any other owners of the business (i.e. the common equity holders). In this scenario, investors would receive their money back, and then any additional proceeds would be distributed ratably (based on the percentage of the business each investor owns).
So if the company is sold for $10 million, and preferred equity investors previously invested $1 million, which represented 25% ownership of the company, preferred equity investors would receive the first $1 million + 25% of the remaining $9 million, or a total of $3.25 million in the sale. So while they owned just 25% of the company, they received a total of 32.5% of the proceeds from the sale of the company.

Business Plan
Biologics Modular was started in early 2010 to reduce cost and time of biotechnology and pharmaceutical drug manufacturing and development processes. Historically, companies in this industry have dedicated significant time and capital to either building out large-scale manufacturing facilities according to strict FDA guidelines or spending significant capital outsourcing their drug manufacturing to certified partners. With the industry moving towards personalized drugs, small batch and single use technologies offer biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies new alternatives to how they have traditionally manufactured products. Biologics Modular's facilities empower their customers to embrace alternative approaches.
Biologics Modular's pre-constructed, pre-validated, transportable facilities allow both large and small biotech companies the flexibility and cost-savings needed to test new products or scale up and scale down the production of smaller batch drugs to adapt to the changing needs of their customers. Biologics Modular's facilities can be configured to support as much flexibility in production as is required by the customer. Drug manufacturers can use Biologics Modular's facilities (which are constructed in shipping container structures) to ramp up a production ready facility in as little as 6 months. Timeline for a traditional facility buildout and validation typically 2 years. This approach has been recognized by industry authorities as an ideal template for future drug manufacturing. The Compay's platform can also be used in markets other than drug development, most notably for hospitals and compounding pharmacies where certain facilitates are now required to meet FDA-level standards.
Biologics Modular has raised over $2 MM in capital and spent nearly 3 years developing its modular facilities, getting input from the FDA and creating meaningful partnerships with equipment manufacturers. Biologics Modular's current prospective customer interest is growing and the Company is looking to ramp up its sales and marketing efforts in order to increase brand awareness and grow its customer pipeline.
