FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

An intimate group of owners controls private companies like Blue Oak Capital. The owners can offer ownership interests (i.e., stock, LLC interests, partnership interests) in the company to private investors. Still, those interests, unlike public stocks, are not available to the general public. Unlike public stocks, private companies are not listed on a stock market, and investors are subject to specific qualification requirements.

There are several key differences between investing in a private company and a public company.  Here are some of those key differences:

• Access. Almost anyone can invest in public stock and often for as little as pennies, depending on the price of a share of stock.  Private companies, however, typically have entries in the $50k-$75k range as minimum investments.  Investors in private companies also must meet specific qualification requirements as described more fully below.  
• Liquidity. Public stocks are highly liquid – able to be bought and sold at the click or swipe of a screen.  Private investments are illiquid with long lockup periods of typically a minimum of 3-5 years.
• Volatility. Unlike public stocks that are highly correlated to the volatile broader markets sensitive to herd behavior, news, social media, economic reports, etc., private investments are insulated from Wall Street volatility due to their illiquidity. 
• Gains. While gains from public stocks are exclusively dependent on the appreciation of stock prices, investors in private companies receive increases principally from cash distributions from profits generated by the company in addition to appreciation.  Tax Benefits         Long-term capital gains treatment on assets held more than a year.
• Tax Benefits. The partnership structure of most private investments affords significant tax benefits that public stocks don’t offer, including:
• Capital gains treatment
• Pass-thru of deductions and depreciation
• Tax deferral in some circumstances
• Avoidance of self-employment taxes
