PPM template for a private securities offering. This is a starting structure – every PPM must be reviewed by a securities lawyer before issuance. Replace bracketed placeholders with company specifics.

The document is an annotated section framework rather than a drafted memorandum, and it says so on its own first page. Each section names what it must contain: Summary of the Offering (issuer, security type, aggregate amount, minimum investment, high-level use of proceeds); Risk Factors (company, industry, security and macro risks, including dilution, liquidity, key-person dependence, competition and regulatory exposure, each as a short paragraph); Use of Proceeds with specific allocation buckets; Description of the Business; Description of the Securities covering voting, dividend, liquidation preference, conversion and transfer restrictions; Capitalization with pre-offering and pro forma tables; Management with biographies, compensation and related-party transactions; Financial Information; and Material Tax Considerations.

Everything quoted here is measured from the file itself rather than described from memory: the document contains 46 paragraphs across that section structure. It is deliberately compact – what you are buying is the section architecture and the guidance on what each section has to establish, not pages of generic prose to delete. Nothing is locked, hidden or password protected.

How to put it to work. Read it end to end first so you understand what a PPM is actually asserting on your behalf. Then use it to assemble your own facts and to brief counsel, who will draft and review the final memorandum. Treat the Risk Factors section as the one that repays the most effort – a thin risk section is the most common weakness in a first-draft PPM, and it is the section that protects you.

What this is and is not. It is a structure and a set of drafting prompts. It is not legal advice, it is not a completed offering document, and it must not be issued to investors in this form. Securities offerings are regulated by federal and state law, and qualified securities counsel must prepare the final memorandum. Nothing here removes that requirement.

Typical users are founders and finance leads preparing to raise privately, and advisers who want the structure in front of them before the first call with counsel. It is delivered as a single Microsoft Word file, and opens in Word, Google Docs and Pages without conversion.
