How can I purchase stocks of a small start up company that is not on the NYSE?

alysiallen: How can I purchase stocks of a small start up company that is not on the NYSE?
I found an LLC that has been in business for a few years and I am interested in purchasing a few shares of their stocks. How do I go about doing this if they are not listed on the NYSE? Thanks!

If they are not listed on any stock exchange they are private shares and they issue them to who they wish to give them too (usually owners/employees). They may also be in the process of their IPO so keep an eye out.

They most likely aren’t a publicly traded company and therefore there are no stocks to buy.

Go to any stock screener

cnbc.com

Type the name of the company in and if they have a ticker on any exchange you can find it.

You’re talking about penny stock. Just enter it in a search engine and you will get all the info you need.

Be careful, penny stock is very risky.

What makes you think they have stock for sale? LLCs are usually closely held – even one person – who is just trying to limit their liability. You could call them directly as see if they are looking for investors.

LLC are Limited Liability Partnerships…. You can’t buy stock in the normal sense. Call the company and ask to speak to the principals and ask if you could become a minor partner.

Personally I would stay away. sorry
