Vantage Self-Directed Retirement Plans, a self-directed retirement plan administrator and record-keeping service for individuals and small business owners, is offering a new course, “How to Invest in Private Companies,” at 9 a.m., Tuesday, April 24.

Vantage is partnering with Brian J. Burt, partner at Snell & Wilmer L.L.P., to conduct this informative course in its Vantage Knowledge Center at 20860 N. Tatum Blvd., Suite 240, in Phoenix. Burt is a business lawyer advising entrepreneurs and emerging growth companies in all stages of development, from formation to liquidity. He also represents banks, financial services companies, private investors and venture capital funds.

The “How to Invest in Private Companies” workshop will look into the early stages of a private company’s lifecycle to understand the necessary capital that comes to investors willing to bear high risk for potentially high rewards. With the U.S. economy starting to show signs of life, investors are looking to re-engage after taking a break during the Great Recession. This class presents topics including risks and rewards of private company investments, locating investment opportunities, analyzing prospective deals, negotiating favorable investment terms, protecting your investment and the investor’s role post-closing.

This seminar is free and open to the public. To RSVP, call Vantage at 480-306-8404 or visit VantageIRAs.com.
