GLOSSARY


For purposes of this Prospectus the following acronyms and terms shall be defined as follows:


App: a software application.


“In the Cloud” or Cloud Computing: The use of Internet-based computing, storage and connectivity technology for a variety of different services, including the deployment of software applications.


SaaS or SaaS Apps: Acronym for software-as-a-service application. SaaS Apps are developed specifically for, and delivered over, the Internet on an as-needed basis. SaaS Apps are typically deployed “In the Cloud,” with little or no user implementation services required and without the need to install and manage third-party software and hardware in-house.


ISV or App Vendor: Independent Software Vendor of SaaS Apps or traditional software Apps. Independent Software Vendors develop and sell software apps that run on one or more operating system platforms. The companies that make the platforms encourage and lend support to ISVs, often with special "business partner" programs. Some ISVs focus on a particular operating platform like Apple iPhone’s iOS for which there are tens of thousands of ISV applications. Other ISVs specialize in a particular application area, including but not limited to customer relationship management (“CRM”), and integrate with multiple platforms.


App Ecosystem: A particular App or set of Apps, such as Google Apps, or a particular operating platform, such as Apple’s iOS, around which many other ISV Apps are developed to work with or integrate into.


VAR or Value-Added Reseller: A business that re-sells software, usually with some additional service, such as customization, installation, training or support that adds value to the software.


MSP or Managed Service Provider: A managed service provider, which is a company that is typically an information technology (IT) services provider, who manages and assumes responsibility for providing a defined set of services to their clients either proactively or as they (not the client) determine that the services are needed. Most MSPs bill a flat or near-fixed monthly fee, which benefits their clients by providing them with predictable IT support costs.


IT Consultant: An information technology consultant.


Solution Provider(s): An IT Consultant, VAR, MSP and/or Software Reseller. For purposes of this S-1 the term may also include persons such as business consultants and advisors.


SMB: Small Medium Business: The market sector comprised of small and medium businesses, typically under 200 employees.


SOHO: Small Office/Home Office: The market sector comprised of small and home offices, typically under ten employees.

Enterprise: The market sector comprised of large businesses typically with more than 200 employees.


Direct Buyer: An individual or company who purchases Apps directly for their organization and is therefore an end-user of the Apps purchased.


Sales Value Chain: All of the value-adding activities and participants that are involved in selling a software product to an end-user.


Channel Partner: A Channel Partner is an organization who contracts with a business to resell their products and/or services. Oftentimes in the software industry, a Channel Partner is a distributor, vendor, retailer, consultant, systems integrators (SI), technology deployment consultant, or value-added reseller (VAR). The consolidated group of channel partners is referred to as a company’s “Channel” or “Sales Channel.”


Channel Program: An arrangement between a vendor and a distributor or reseller that specifies the obligations of both parties. It outlines the incentives the vendor is willing to give its channel partner for meeting sales levels, such as discounts, training, advertising and human resources

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY


The following summary highlights selected information contained in this prospectus. This summary does not contain all the information you should consider before investing in the securities. Before making an investment decision, you should read the entire prospectus carefully, including the "RISK FACTORS" section, the financial statements and the notes to the financial statements. As used throughout this prospectus, the terms "SaaSMAX", "Company", "we," "us," or "our" refer to SaaSMAX, Inc..


SaaSMAX, Inc. is a Nevada Corporation incorporated January 19, 2011, with its principal place of business in San Diego, California. SaaSMAX is a development stage company that is developing and launching an online business-to-business marketplace (the "SaaSMAX Marketplace") and channel management tools for the rapidly growing software-as-a-service (“SaaS”) market. The Company’s mission is to become a channel program for SaaS, by facilitating, improving and increasing the Sales Value Chain for SaaS Applications (“SaaS Apps”).


Software-as-a-Service, sometimes referred to as "on-demand software," is a software delivery model in which software is delivered over the Internet. All the software and data is hosted on servers “In the Cloud” (see definition of "In the Cloud" above) and is accessed by end users using a web browser over the Internet. While practically every Internet service (such as Web search engine or web-based Email) is driven by some underlying software, the term "Software as a Service" or ”SaaS” for short, is often used in the context of business software.


Cloud computing fundamentally changes the way business software applications are developed and deployed. SaaS App developers no longer need to create and manage their own infrastructure of servers, storage, network devices, operating system software and development tools in order to create a business application. Instead, the entire software infrastructure is managed by third parties who specialize in infrastructure management, and developers simply use a remote management connection/console to access the development environment. SaaS App users can gain access to a variety of business applications via an Internet browser or mobile device, and are able to take advantage of a robust, secure, scalable and highly available application at a relatively low cost, without the cost and complexity of managing the application.

 

 “The "Sales Value Chain", refers to all of the value-adding activities and the participants that are involved in selling a software product to an end-user. For example, software applications (“Apps”) are typically created and sold by Independent Software Vendors (“ISV’s” or “App Vendors”). The App Vendors may offer to sell their individual Apps directly to an end user, or they may use a wholesaler or distributor or retailer (collectively referred to herein as “Reseller”) that offers the Apps for sale to the end user. For those software Apps that require customization or user training before they are employed by the end user, App Vendors will seek to use independent value-added resellers (“VARs”), service providers, solution providers, systems integrators or other type of consultants (collectively referred to as “Solution Providers”) who will provide those services to the end users.


With traditional software, that requires installation on a personal computer, server or workstation, software vendors typically "package" their software on a disc and license or sell the software, on the disc, through the Sales Value Chain in order to reach end-users. The discs are therefore physically accountable for as product inventory and the end-user is responsible for setting up the software on the servers, network, and employee workstations and maintaining the servers, network and workstations. In many cases businesses do not have the expertise to install and maintain the software. In those cases, an end-user will typically hire a Solution Provider to install and/or manage the software for the end user. However, with SaaS Apps, there is no physical delivery of a software product, because a SaaS App is available and ready-to-use when it is activated on-line. As a result of this non-physical, direct-to-end-customer deployment method, the Solution Providers in the Sales Value Chain are potentially ignored during a sales transaction and, in those cases, may not be compensated by the SaaS App Vendor for referring the end-user. In traditional software sales, the Solution Provider usually has a pre-existing relationship with the end-user and is therefore the trusted advisor to the end-user for all software purchases. For SaaS App Vendors, we believe that the Sales Value Chain must also incorporate the Solution Providers for software purchases. We believe that when completed and implemented, the SaaSMAX Marketplace will provide a direct way for many SaaS App Vendors to reach or market their SaaS Apps to Solution Providers, and in addition, provide SaaS App Vendors with the tools to track sales and manage reseller programs for each Solution Provider interested in their SaaS App.

 

Our SaaSMAX Marketplace is intended to be a "B2B" or "business to business" solution to be implemented between SaaS App Vendors and SaaS Solution Providers, that will enable SaaS App Vendors to market, promote and manage the sales and distribution of their SaaS App to participants in the Sales Value Chain and to business users around the world. SaaSMAX management believes that the SaaSMAX Marketplace model will make it easier and more efficient for App Vendors to sell licenses, find new customers, build awareness and better manage their Solution Providers and reseller networks. We believe that SaaSMAX will be the first product aimed at SaaS App Vendors that will enable them to sell, market, manage and monitor their sales and marketing efforts in real time across the SaaS Sales Value Chain.



6



We further believe that the SaaSMAX Marketplace will also be a valuable business tool for SaaS Resellers and Solution Providers. The SaaSMAX Marketplace will also provide easy- to-use tools for SaaS Resellers and Solution Providers to thoroughly research each listed SaaS App, including online demos, technical specifications, ratings, support, pricing, commission plans and much more.


We further believe that the SaaSMAX Marketplace will also make it easier for Resellers and Solution Providers to find SaaS Apps for their customers and earn a commission from SaaS App Vendors for selling or introducing the SaaS App to their customers. We are designing the SaaSMAX Marketplace so that it will provide the product information and track commissions for Solution Providers who purchase SaaS Apps through the SaaSMAX Marketplace. The SaaSMAX Marketplace will also provide a Solution Provider Directory which will contain the business profiles of Solution Providers, which will enable businesses to network with Solution Providers, and will enable Solution Providers to generate new business leads.


SaaSMAX intends to generate revenue by:


·

Receiving fees from SaaS App Vendors who list their SaaS App on the SaaSMAX Marketplace.

·

Receiving fees from SaaS App Vendors for promotions or advertising campaigns within the SaaSMAX Marketplace.

·

Earning commissions based on a percentage revenue received by SaaS App Vendors who sold their App through the SaaSMAX Marketplace. and,

·

Advertising and marketing fees for companies who want to advertise within the SaaSMAX Marketplace or on the SaaSMAX website.

 

We are a development stage business and have had no revenue since our formation. There can be no assurance that we will complete the development of the SaaSMAX Marketplace, and even if completed that the SaaSMAX Marketplace will generate any revenues. There can further be no assurance that even if revenues are generated by the SaaSMAX Marketplace, that those revenues will be sufficient to enable the Company to maintain its operations. There is currently no public market for our common stock.

 

 

From the date of our inception through February 28, 2011, we have incurred a net loss of $9,020. We have incurred losses since inception and we expect to incur losses for the foreseeable future. In order to achieve profitable operations we need to generate significant revenues from fees earned from the SaaSMAX Marketplace.  We cannot be certain that our business strategies will be successful or that will we generate significant revenues and become profitable.

DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE


The pricing of the Shares has been arbitrarily determined and established by the Company. No independent accountant or appraiser has been retained to protect the interest of the investors. No assurance can be made that the offering price is in fact reflective of the underlying value of the Shares. Each prospective investor is urged to consult with his or her counsel and/or accountant as to offering price and the terms and conditions of the Shares. Factors to be considered in determining the price include the amount of capital expected to be required, the market for securities of entities in a new business venture, projected rates of return expected by prospective investors of speculative investments, the Company’s prospects for success and prices of similar entities.


RELIANCE ON INFORMATION ONLY IN THIS PROSPECTUS


Please read this prospectus carefully. You should rely only on the information contained in this prospectus. We have not authorized anyone to provide you with different information. You should not assume that the information provided by the prospectus is accurate as of any date other than the date on the front of this prospectus.

 

DIVIDEND POLICY

 

We do not intend to pay any dividends in the foreseeable future. We intend to retain any future earnings, if any, for use in the operation and expansion of our business. Any future decision to pay dividends on common stock will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will be dependent upon our fiscal condition, results of operations capital requirements and other factors our board of directors may deem relevant. 


RISK FACTORS


You should carefully consider the risks described below as well as other information provided to you in this document, including information in the section of this document entitled “Forward Looking Statements.” The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones facing the Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to the Company or that the Company currently believes are immaterial may also impair the Company’s business operations. If any of the following risks actually occur, the Company’s business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected, the value of the Company common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.


RISKS RELATED TO THE BUSINESS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION


You should carefully consider the risk factors described below, together with all of the other information included in this prospectus, before you decide whether to invest in shares of our common stock. The following risks and uncertainties may not be the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also harm our operations and financial results. The occurrence of any of the following risks could harm our business, financial condition or results of operations. In that case, the market price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.


Our business model is unproven, and we cannot guarantee our future success.

 

SaaSMAX is a new and unproven business model. The success of our business model depends upon;


·

our ability to develop a working online marketplace website,

·

our ability to recruit a critical mass of Service Providers and ISV’s to join and participate in our online marketplace,

·

our ability to develop and provide a working commission provisioning tool to our members, and

·

our ability to sell sponsorships, advertising space and other marketing programs.


Failure to execute on any or all of the above activities would adversely affect the results of our operations.



8



Our business model is subject to change


We may elect from time to time to make pricing, service, hiring and marketing decisions that could increase our expenses, affect our revenues and impact our financial results. Moreover, because our expense levels in any given quarter are based, in part, on management’s expectations regarding future revenues, if revenues are below expectations, the effect on our operating results may be magnified by our inability to adjust spending in a timely manner to compensate for a shortfall in revenues. The extent to which expenses are not subsequently followed by increased revenues would harm our operating results and could seriously impair our business.


No assurance can be given that a market for SaaSMAX will develop, or that participants, sponsors, partners or non-member advertisers will be willing to pay for the Company’s services. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flow from operations or are unable to obtain additional equity or debt financing, to meet our working capital requirements, wemay have to curtail our business operations sharply or cease business altogether.


We have no operating history on which to evaluate our potential for future success. This makes it difficult to evaluate our future prospects and the risk of success or failure of our business.


We began our operations informally in January 2011 and your evaluation of our business and prospects will be based on our limited operating history. Consequently, our short history and results of operations may not give you an accurate indication of our future results of operations or prospects. You must consider our business and prospects in light of the risks and difficulties we will encounter as an early-stage company in a highly competitive market. We may not be able to successfully address these risks and difficulties, which could materially harm our business and operating results.


As we grow our business, we cannot guarantee our business strategies will be successful or that our revenues will ever increase sufficiently to achieve and maintain profitability on a quarterly or annual basis.


We have had operating losses since formation and expect to continue to incur net losses for the near term.

 

Having begun operations informally in January 2011, we have only a limited operating history.  For the period from January 19, 2011 (Inception) through February 28, 2011, we have had a net loss and cash used in operations of approximately $9,000 and $2,000, respectively.    Unless we begin generating revenues in the near future, we anticipate that we will continue to incur net losses in the near term, and we may never be able to achieve profitability.  In order to achieve profitable operations we need to generate significant revenues from fees earned from the SaaSMAX Marketplace.   We cannot be certain that our business will ever be successful or that we will generate significant revenues and become profitable.


Product Liability


Software products and services such as those offered by SaaSMAX frequently contain undetected errors or failures when first introduced or as new versions are released. Despite extensive testing, from time to time we may discover defects or errors in products. There can be no assurance that such defects, errors or difficulties will not cause delays in product introductions and shipments, result in increased costs and diversion of development resources, require design modifications or decrease market acceptance or customer satisfaction with our products or result in claims by customers against us. In addition, there can be no assurance that, despite testing by us and by current and potential customers, errors will not be found after commencement of commercial shipments, resulting in loss of or delay in market acceptance, which could have a material adverse effect upon our business, operating results and financial condition.


We rely on increasing market acceptance of Internet-based Software-as-a-Service applications in the small and medium-sized business space (“SMB”) and in the small office/home office (“SoHo”) space.


The use of SaaS applications for enterprises, small business and personal business purposes has been growing at an increasing rate over the past five years and is projected to continue to grow. However, no assurance can be given that SMB’s and SoHo’s will continue to adopt SaaS applications into their business infrastructure or that they will renew their subscriptions with SaaS applications for long periods of time.


As well, there can be no assurance given that ISV’s will continue to innovate and develop new SaaS Apps, or that the market of SaaS Apps will not experience aggressive consolidation in the future, thereby reducing the potential number of SaaS Apps available to participate in SaaSMAX.



9



Our ability to grow our business may depend, in part, on our ability to develop strong relationships with providers of major software ecosystems.


In the enterprise, internet and mobile software industries, the market leaders typically adopt an open platform strategy that makes their software the center of their own “ecosystems.” Many of these providers of major software ecosystems nurture relationships with Third Party ISVs and create Authorized Reseller Programs for Service Providers. We may be perceived as a direct competitor or future direct competitor in situations where the ecosystem is already facilitating or plans to facilitate commission-based reseller programs and tools for their authorized resellers to do business directly with third party ISV’s. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to form relationships with the providers of major software ecosystems. As well providers of major software ecosystems may already be exclusively collaborating with other, larger and more established distributors and online marketplaces.


Defects or disruptions in our service could diminish demand for our service and subject us to substantial liability.


We may, from time to time, find defects in our service and errors in our proposed service may be detected in the future. In addition, our customers may use our service in unanticipated ways that may cause a disruption in service for other customers attempting to access their data. Any errors, defects, disruptions in service or other performance problems with our proposed service could hurt our reputation and may damage our customers’ businesses. If that occurs, potential customers could elect not to renew, or delay or withhold payment to us, we could lose future sales, or, customers may make warranty or other claims against us, which could result in an increase in our provision for doubtful accounts, an increase in collection cycles for accounts receivable or the expense and risk of litigation.


Interruptions or delays in service from our third-party data center hosting facilities could impair the delivery of our service and harm our business.


We currently intend to serve our customers from third-party data center hosting. Any damage to, or failure of, our systems generally could result in interruptions in our proposed service. We may in the future move or transfer our data and our customers’ data. Despite precautions taken during this process, any unsuccessful data transfers may impair the delivery of our service. Further, any damage to, or failure of, our systems generally could result in interruptions in our proposed service. Interruptions in our proposed service may reduce our revenue, cause us to issue credits or pay penalties, cause customers to terminate their subscriptions and adversely affect our renewal rates and our ability to attract new customers. Our business will also be harmed if our customers and potential customers believe our service is unreliable.


If our security measures are breached and unauthorized access is obtained to a customer’s data or our data, our proposed service may be perceived as not being secure, customers may curtail or stop using our service and we may incur significant legal and financial exposure and liabilities.


Our proposed service involves the storage and transmission of customers’ proprietary information, and security breaches could expose us to a risk of loss of this information, litigation and possible liability. These security measures may be breached as a result of third-party action, employee error, malfeasance or otherwise, during transfer of data to additional data centers or at any time, and result in someone obtaining unauthorized access to our data or our customers’ data. Additionally, third parties may attempt to fraudulently induce employees or customers into disclosing sensitive information such as user names, passwords or other information in order to gain access to our data or our customers’ data. Because the techniques used to obtain unauthorized access, or to sabotage systems, change frequently and generally are not recognized until launched against a target, we may be unable to anticipate these techniques or to implement adequate preventative measures.


Weakened global economic conditions may adversely affect our industry, business and results of operations.


Our overall performance will depend, in part, on worldwide economic conditions. The United States and other key international economies have been impacted by falling demand for a variety of goods and services, restricted credit, going concern threats to major multinational companies and medium and small businesses, poor liquidity, reduced corporate profitability, volatility in credit, equity and foreign exchange markets and bankruptcies. These conditions affect the rate of information technology spending and could adversely affect our customers’ ability or willingness to purchase our proposed enterprise cloud computing application service, delay prospective customers’ purchasing decisions, reduce the value or duration of their subscription contracts, or affect renewal rates, all of which could adversely affect our operating results.



10



If we experience significant fluctuations in our rate of anticipated growth and fail to balance our expenses with our revenue forecasts, our results could be harmed.


Due to our evolving business model, the unpredictability of new markets that we intend to enter and the unpredictability of future general economic and financial market conditions, we may not be able to accurately forecast our rate of growth. We plan our expense levels and investment on estimates of future revenue and future anticipated rate of growth. As a result, we expect that our revenues, operating results and cash flows may fluctuate significantly on a quarterly basis


We may in the future be sued by third parties for alleged infringement of their proprietary rights.


The software and Internet industries are characterized by the existence of a large number of patents, trademarks and copyrights and by frequent litigation based on allegations of infringement or other violations of intellectual property rights. We may receive in the future communications from third parties claiming that we have infringed the intellectual property rights of others. We may in the future be, sued by third parties for alleged infringement of their proprietary rights. Our technologies may not be able to withstand any third-party claims against their use. The outcome of any litigation is inherently uncertain. Any intellectual property claims, whether with or without merit, could be time-consuming and expensive to resolve, could divert management attention from executing our business plan and could require us to change our technology, change our business practices and/or pay monetary damages or enter into short- or long-term royalty or licensing agreements which may not be available in the future at the same terms or at all. In addition, many of our subscription agreements require us to indemnify our customers for third-party intellectual property infringement claims, which would increase the cost to us of an adverse ruling on such a claim. Any adverse determination related to intellectual property claims or litigation could prevent us from offering our service to others, or could otherwise adversely affect our operating results or cash flows or both in a particular quarter.


There are factors that may affect revenues and business success that may cause our operating results and cash flow to suffer.


Some of the important factors that may cause our potential revenues, operating results and cash flows to fluctuate include:

 

·

our ability to attract new member Service Provider and ISV participants, retain them and successfully demonstrate the benefits of member participation.

·

the amount and timing of operating costs and capital expenditures related to the operations and expansion of our business;

·

the number of new employees added;

·

changes in our pricing policies whether initiated by us or as a result of intense competition;

·

the cost, timing and management effort for the introduction of new features to our proposed service;

·

the rate of expansion and productivity of our sales force;

·

new product and service introductions by our competitors;

·

technical difficulties or interruptions in our proposed service;

·

expenses related to increasing our data center capacity and expanding our data centers domestically and internationally;

·

changes in the effective tax rates;

·

regulatory compliance costs;

·

the timing of customer payments and payment defaults by customers;

·

extraordinary expenses such as litigation or other dispute-related settlement payments;

·

the impact of new accounting pronouncements; and

·

the timing of stock awards to employees and the related adverse financial statement impact of having to expense those stock awards ratably over their vesting schedules.


Many of these factors are not within our control, and the occurrence of one or more of them might cause our operating results to vary widely. As such, we believe that quarter-to-quarter comparisons of our revenues, operating results and cash flows may not be meaningful and should not be relied upon as an indication of future performance.


We rely on third-party computer hardware and software that may be difficult to replace or which could cause errors or failures of our service.


We will rely on computer hardware purchased or leased and software licensed from third parties in order to offer our proposed service, including database software from Oracle Corporation and an open source content management system. This hardware and software may not continue to be available at reasonable prices or on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. Any loss of the right to use any of this hardware or software could significantly increase our expenses and otherwise result in delays in the provisioning of our service until equivalent technology is either developed by us, or, if available, is identified, obtained and integrated, which could harm our business. Any errors or defects in third-party hardware or software could result in errors or a failure of our service which could harm our business.

Supporting a growing customer base could strain our personnel and corporate infrastructure, and if we are unable to scale our operations and increase productivity, we may not be able to successfully implement our business plan.


Our current Management and human resources infrastructure is comprised of our CEO and several outsourced consultants. Our success will depend, in part, upon the ability of our Management to manage our proposed business effectively. To do so, we will need to hire, train and manage new employees as needed. To manage the expected domestic growth of our operations and personnel, we will need to continue to improve our operational, financial and management controls and our reporting systems and procedures. If we fail to successfully scale our operations and increase productivity, we will be unable to execute our business plan.

 

Our business could be adversely affected if our customers are not satisfied with the SaaS Apps they purchase through us or the implementation and customization services provided by our member Service Providers.


Our business will depend on our ability to satisfy our potential customers. If a customer is not satisfied with the quality of the SaaS App they may purchase through SaaSMAX or our member Service Providers, and/or if they are not satisfied with the work performed a Service Providers identified through SaaSMAX, the customer’s dissatisfaction could damage our ability to obtain additional or future orders from that customer. In addition, potential negative publicity related to our customer relationships, regardless of its accuracy, may further damage our business by affecting our ability to compete for new business with prospective customers.


We are dependent on our CEO and outsourced consultants, and the loss of one or more of these individuals could harm our business and prevent us from implementing our business plan in a timely manner.


Our success depends substantially upon the continued services of our executive officers and other key members of management, particularly our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Technology Consultant. We do not have an employment agreement with our CEO and, therefore, she could terminate her employment with us at any time. We do not maintain key person life insurance policies on any of our employees. The loss of one or more of our key employees could seriously harm our business.


Our ability to grow our business may depend on developing a positive brand reputation and member loyalty.


Establishing and maintaining a positive brand reputation and nurturing member loyalty is critical to attracting new resellers, ISVs and end-user purchasers. We expect to expend reasonable but limited resources to develop, maintain and enhance our brand in the near future. In addition, nurturing member loyalty will depend on our ability to provide a high-quality user experience and ensure that our ISV members include best-of-breed SMB apps that offer worthwhile commission incentives to our Reseller members, which we may not do successfully. If we are unable to maintain and enhance our brand reputation and member participation, our ability to attract new marketplace participants or convert new sponsors and advertisers will be harmed.


Competition.


We have numerous direct, indirect and partial competitors, many of which have valuable industry relationships and access to greater resources than we do. The numerous types of direct or indirect competitors that exist in the market today include but may not be limited to: ecosystem marketplaces such as Google Apps Marketplace; enterprise software distributors who are now offering SaaS marketplaces, such as Ingram Micro; unaffiliated online SaaS marketplaces such as GetApp.com; affiliate programs, such as Commission Junction; and ISV in-house channel partner/reseller programs. There can be no assurance that we will be able to produce a product that will be competitive in the marketplace, and even if competitive that we will be able to earn a profit.


Reliance Upon Third Party Providers.


The Company’s Chief Technology Consultant is the owner of an unrelated software development company which is participating in the development of SaaSMAX and its Service Offerings. Should our Chief Technology Consultant or any other participating software developers be unable to execute their portion of the development effort, the launch of SaaSMAX or any of its future planned functionality could be delayed until a replacement is found.


Investors may lose their entire investment if we fail to reach profitability.


We commenced business in January 2011. We have no demonstrable operations record from which you can evaluate the business and its prospects. Our prospects must be considered in light of the risks, uncertainties, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in their early stages of development. We cannot guarantee that we will be successful in accomplishing our objectives. To date, we have incurred losses and will continue to do so in the foreseeable future. Investors should therefore be aware that they may lose their entire investment in the Units.



12



In order to execute our business plan, we may need to raise additional capital. If we are unable to raise additional capital, we may not be able to achieve our business plan and you could lose your investment.


We may need to raise additional funds through public or private debt or equity financings as well as obtain credit from vendors to be able to fully execute our business plan. Any additional capital raised through the sale of equity may dilute your ownership interest. We may not be able to raise additional funds on favorable terms, or at all. If we are unable to obtain additional funds or credit from our vendors, we will be unable to execute our business plan and you could lose your investment.


We have limited protection of our intellectual property.


Our business prospects do not rely upon company-owned patented technologies. Our business prospects will depend largely on our ability to develop a critical mass of participants in the SaaSMAX online business-to-business marketplace, as well as our ability to successfully develop and provide to our members a commission provisioning SaaSMAX software tool. There can be no assurance that we will be able to adequately protect our trade secrets. In the event competitors independently develop or otherwise obtain access to our know-how, concepts or trade secrets, we may be adversely affected.


Purchasers of the Shares will incur immediate substantial dilution.


Purchasers in this offering may incur substantial dilution in the future. There is no assurance that our net tangible book value per share in the future will equal or exceed the offering price.

 

RISKS RELATED TO COMMON STOCK


There is currently no trading market for our common stock, and liquidity of shares of our common stock is limited.


There is no established public trading market for our securities. Hence, there is no central place, such as a stock exchange or electronic trading system, to resell your common stock. If you want to resell your shares, you will have to locate a buyer and negotiate your own sale. It is our plan to utilize a market maker who will apply to have our common stock quoted on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board in the United States. Our shares are not and have not been listed or quoted on any exchange or quotation system. There can be no assurance that a market maker will agree to file the necessary documents FINRA which operates the Over the Counter Bulletin Board, no can there be any assurance that such an application for quotations will be approved or that a regular trading market will develop or that if developed, will be sustained. In the absence of a trading market, an investor will be unable to liquidate his investment except by private sale.

 

Failure to develop or maintain a trading market could negatively affect its value and make it difficult or impossible for you to sell your shares. Even if a market for common stock does develop, the market price of common stock may be highly volatile. In addition to the uncertainties relating to future operating performance and the profitability of operations, factors such as variations in interim financial results or various, as yet unpredictable, factors, many of which are beyond our control, may have a negative effect on the market price of our common stock.


Should our stock become listed on the OTC Bulletin Board, if we fail to remain current on our reporting requirements, we could be removed from the OTC Bulletin Board which would limit the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities in the secondary market.


Companies trading on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board, such as we are seeking to become, must be reporting issuers under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and must be current in their reports under Section 13, in order to maintain price quotation privileges on the OTC Bulletin Board. As a result, the market liquidity for our securities could be severely adversely affected by limiting the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and the ability of stockholders to sell their securities in the secondary market. In addition, we may be unable to get relisted on the OTC Bulletin Board, which may have an adverse material effect on the Company.

 

We do not expect to pay dividends in the future; any return on investment may be limited to the value of our common stock.


We do not currently anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. The payment of dividends on our common stock will depend on earnings, financial condition and other business and economic factors affecting it at such time as the board of directors may consider relevant. Our current intention is to apply net earnings, if any, in the foreseeable future to increasing our capital base and development and marketing efforts. There can be no assurance that the Company will ever have sufficient earnings to declare and pay dividends to the holders of our common stock, and in any event, a decision to declare and pay dividends is at the sole discretion of our board of directors. If we do not pay dividends, our common stock may be less valuable because a return on your investment will only occur if its stock price appreciates.



13



Authorization of preferred stock. 


Our Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of up to 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock with designations, rights and preferences determined from time to time by its Board of Directors. Accordingly, our Board of Directors is empowered, without stockholder approval, to issue preferred stock with dividend, liquidation, conversion, voting, or other rights which could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of the common stock. In the event of issuance, the preferred stock could be utilized, under certain circumstances, as a method of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change in control of the Company. Although we have no present intention to issue any shares of our authorized preferred stock, there can be no assurance that the Company will not do so in the future.


Our shares are subject to the U.S. “Penny Stock” Rules and investors who purchase our shares may have difficulty re-selling their shares as the liquidity of the market for our shares may be adversely affected by the impact of the “Penny Stock” Rules.


Our stock is subject to U.S. “Penny Stock” rules, which may make the stock more difficult to trade on the open market. Our common shares are not currently traded on the OTCBB, but it is the Company’s plan that the common shares be quoted on the OTCBB. A “penny stock” is generally defined by regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) as an equity security with a market price of less than US$5.00 per share. However, an equity security with a market price under US$5.00 will not be considered a penny stock if it fits within any of the following exceptions:


(i) the equity security is listed on NASDAQ or a national securities exchange;


(ii) the issuer of the equity security has been in continuous operation for less than three years, and either has (a) net tangible assets of at least US$5,000,000, or (b) average annual revenue of at least US$6,000,000; or


(iii) the issuer of the equity security has been in continuous operation for more than three years, and has net tangible assets of at least US$2,000,000.


Our common stock does not currently fit into any of the above exceptions.


If an investor buys or sells a penny stock, SEC regulations require that the investor receive, prior to the transaction, a disclosure explaining the penny stock market and associated risks. Furthermore, trading in our common stock will be subject to Rule 15g-9 of the Exchange Act, which relates to non-NASDAQ and non-exchange listed securities. Under this rule, broker/dealers who recommend our securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors must make a special written suitability determination for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to a transaction prior to sale. Securities are exempt from this rule if their market price is at least $5.00 per share. Since our common stock is currently deemed penny stock regulations, it may tend to reduce market liquidity of our common stock, because they limit the broker/dealers’ ability to trade, and a purchaser’s ability to sell, the stock in the secondary market.

 

The low price of our common stock has a negative effect on the amount and percentage of transaction costs paid by individual shareholders. The low price of our common stock also limits our ability to raise additional capital by issuing additional shares. There are several reasons for these effects. First, the internal policies of certain institutional investors prohibit the purchase of low-priced stocks. Second, many brokerage houses do not permit low-priced stocks to be used as collateral for margin accounts or to be purchased on margin. Third, some brokerage house policies and practices tend to discourage individual brokers from dealing in low-priced stocks. Finally, broker’s commissions on low-priced stocks usually represent a higher percentage of the stock price than commissions on higher priced stocks. As a result, the Company’s shareholders may pay transaction costs that are a higher percentage of their total share value than if our share price were substantially higher.

Overview


SaaSMAX, Inc. is a Nevada Corporation incorporated January 19, 2011, with its principal place of business in San Diego, California. SaaSMAX is a development stage company that is developing and launching an online business-to-business marketplace (the "SaaSMAX Marketplace") and channel management tools for the rapidly growing software-as-a-service (“SaaS”) market. The Company’s mission is to become a channel program for SaaS, by facilitating, improving and increasing the Sales Value Chain for SaaS Applications (“SaaS Apps”).


Software-as-a-Service, sometimes referred to as "on-demand software," is a software delivery model in which software is delivered over the Internet. All the software and data is hosted on servers “In the Cloud” (see definition of "In the Cloud" above) and is accessed by end users using a web browser over the Internet. While practically every Internet service (such as Web search engine or web-based Email) is driven by some underlying software, the term "Software as a Service" or ”SaaS” for short, is often used in the context of business software.


 Cloud computing fundamentally changes the way business software applications are developed and deployed. SaaS App developers no longer need to create and manage their own infrastructure of servers, storage, network devices, operating system software and development tools in order to create a business application. Instead, the entire infrastructure is managed by third parties who specialize in infrastructure management, and developers simply use a remote management connection/console to access the development environment. SaaS App users can gain access to a variety of business applications via an Internet browser or mobile device, and are able to take advantage of a robust, secure, scalable and highly available application at a relatively low cost, without the cost and complexity of managing the application.

 

 “The "Sales Value Chain", refers to all of the value-adding activities and the participants that are involved in selling a software product to an end-user. For example, software applications (“Apps”) are typically created and sold by Independent Software Vendors (“ISV’s” or “App Vendors”). The App Vendors may offer to sell their individual Apps directly to an end user, or they may use a wholesaler or distributor or retailer (collectively referred to herein as “Reseller”) that offers the Apps for sale to the end user. For those software Apps that require customization or user training before they are employed by the end user, App Vendors will seek to use independent value-added resellers (“VARs”), service providers, solution providers, systems integrators or other type of consultants (collectively referred to as “Solution Providers”) who will provide those services to the end users.


With traditional software, that requires installation on a personal computer, server or workstation, software vendors typically "package" their software on a disc and license or sell the software, on the disc, through the Sales Value Chain in order to reach end-users. The discs are therefore physically accountable for as product inventory and the end-user is responsible for setting up the software on the servers, network, and employee workstations and maintaining the servers, network and workstations. In many cases businesses do not have the expertise to install and maintain the software. In those cases, an end-user will typically hire a Solution Provider to install and/or manage the software for the end user. However, with SaaS Apps, there is no physical delivery of a software product, because a SaaS App is available and ready-to-use when it is activated on-line. As a result of this non-physical, direct-to-end-customer deployment method, the Solution Providers in the Sales Value Chain are potentially ignored during a sales transaction and, in those cases, are not being compensated by the SaaS App Vendor for referring the end-user. In traditional software sales, the Solution Provider usually has a pre-existing relationship with the end-user and is therefore the trusted advisor to the end-user for all software purchases. For SaaS App Vendors, we believe that the Sales Value Chain must also incorporate the Solution Providers for software purchases. We believe that when completed and implemented, the SaaSMAX Marketplace will provide a direct way for many SaaS App Vendors to reach or market there SaaS Apps to Solution Providers, and in addition, provide SaaS App Vendors with the tools to track sales and manage reseller programs for each Solution Provider interested in their SaaS App.



15



The SaaSMAX Marketplace is intended to be a "B2B" or business to business solution to be implemented between SaaS App Vendors and SaaS Solution Providers, that will enable SaaS App Vendors to market, promote and manage the sales and distribution of their SaaS App to participants in the Sales Value Chain and to business users around the world. SaaSMAX management believes that the SaaSMAX Marketplace model will make it easier and more efficient for App Vendors to sell licenses, find new customers, build awareness and better manage their Solution Providers and reseller networks. We believe that SaaSMAX will be one of the first products aimed at SaaS App Vendors that will enable them to sell, market, manage and monitor their sales and marketing efforts in real time across the SaaS Sales Value Chain.


We further believe that the SaaSMAX Marketplace will also be a valuable business tool for SaaS Resellers and Solution Providers. The SaaSMAX Marketplace will also provide easy- to-use tools for SaaS Resellers and Solution Providers to, among other things, thoroughly research each listed SaaS App, including online demos, technical specifications, ratings, support, pricing, and commission plans.


We further believe that the SaaSMAX Marketplace will also make it easier for Resellers and Solution Providers to find SaaS Apps for their customers and earn a commission from SaaS App Vendors for selling or introducing the SaaS App to their customers. We are designing the SaaSMAX Marketplace so that it will provide the product information and track commissions for Solution Providers who purchase SaaS Apps through the SaaSMAX Marketplace. The SaaSMAX Marketplace will also provide a Solution Provider Directory which will contain the business profiles of Solution Providers, which will enable businesses to network with Solution Providers, and will enable Solution Providers to generate new business leads.


 

We are a development stage business and have had no revenue since our formation. There can be no assurance that we will complete the development of the SaaSMAX Marketplace, and even if completed that the SaaSMAX Marketplace will generate any revenues. There can further be no assurance that even if revenues are generated by the SaaSMAX Marketplace, that those revenues will be sufficient to enable the Company to maintain its operations. There is currently no public market for our common stock.

 

 

From the date of our inception through February 28, 2011, we have incurred a net loss of $9,020. We have incurred losses since inception and we expect to incur losses for the foreseeable future. In order to achieve profitable operations we need to generate significant revenues from fees earned from the SaaSMAX Marketplace.  We cannot be certain that our business strategies will be successful or that will we generate significant revenues and become profitable.


Customers

We anticipate that the SaaSMAX Marketplace will be utilized primarily by two different types of customers. App Vendors, who make business-related SaaS Apps, and Solution Providers who are IT Consultants, VARs and MSPs who will resell business-related SaaS Apps through the SaaSMAX Marketplace. In addition, the SaaSMAX Marketplace will be available to, Business Users, who will be provided limited access to the proposed features and functionality of SaaSMAX. There can be no assurance that these types of customers will in fact utilize the SaaSMAX Marketplace.


The SaaSMAX Platform – How it Works


The SaaSMAX Platform will be comprised of the SaaSMAX Marketplace, channel management tools for App Vendors and Solution Providers, and premium marketing and advertising tools for App Vendors and Solution Providers. The SaaSMAX Platform is currently under development and is expected to be released in multiple phases as the features and functionality become available. The Company contracts with independent software developers who are currently designing, building, and testing the SaaSMAX Platform.


Revenue Generation


SaaSMAX intends to generate revenue by:


1)

Earning fees from SaaS App Vendors who list their respective SaaS Apps on the SaaSMAX Marketplace.

2)

Earning fees from SaaS App Vendors for promotions or advertising campaigns within the SaaSMAX Marketplace.

3)

Earning commissions based upon a percentage of the revenue earned from SaaS App purchases that were transacted via the SaaSMAX Marketplace and/or SaaSMAX members. And,

4)

Earning advertising and marketing fees for companies who advertise within the SaaSMAX Marketplace or on the SaaSMAX website.


There can be no assurance that we will be successful in generating any revenue from the means stated above.



16



User Participation


In order to participate in SaaSMAX , a potential user must first register as an App Vendor, a Solution Provider or a Business User. App Vendors and Solution Providers will be manually screened by Management and approved in order to maintain a high degree of quality and integrity in the SaaSMAX Marketplace


App Vendors will be required to select from one of several pricing plans in order to: a) display their App’s profile(s) on the SaaSMAX Marketplace; b) utilize our channel management tools, and; c) take advantage of marketing and advertising tools. Premium marketing programs will also be available "a la carte" to potential members of any pricing plan. We plan to require that App Vendors agree to pay SaaSMAX a commission structure based upon a revenue share program and to pay a commission to Authorized Resellers based upon a flexible revenue share program.


Solution Providers will be required to select from one of several pricing plans in order to: a) display their Company Profile in the SaaSMAX Solution Provider Directory; b) utilize our channel management tools, and; c) take advantage of marketing and advertising tools. Premium marketing programs are planned to also be available "a la carte" to members of any pricing plan.


Business Users will be required to select from one of several pricing plans in order to: a) view and purchase the Apps in the SaaSMAX Marketplace, and; b) view and contact Solution Providers in the SaaSMAX Solution Provider Directory.


Searching and Viewing the SaaSMAX Marketplace


End users will have access to search and view the planned SaaSMAX Marketplace depending on what type of user they may be. We plan to enable Solution Providers to view a comprehensive profile of every SaaS App that may be registered on the SaaSMAX Marketplace and have access to more information and assessment tools than the other user types.


SaaSMAX Solution Provider Directory


We expect that "Lead Generation" will be one of the benefits of being a SaaSMAX Authorized Reseller. Business Users who will be seeking a trusted Solution Provider to help implement, integrate or provide training for a SaaS App will be able to inquire through SaaSMAX and identify potential candidates.


SaaSMAX Channel Management Tools (“Management Tools”)


SaaSMAX Channel Management Tools is expected to be our own proprietary software-as-a-service that enables App Vendors to track and manage their reseller channel of SaaSMAX Authorized Solution Providers. App Vendors will be able to administer and manage reseller incentive programs on a one-to-many, one-to-few and one-to-one basis. It will also enable them to address commission provisioning, and have real time access to performance analytics and reports.


SaaSMAX Premium Marketing Services


The Company intends to sell App Vendors and Solution Providers "premium" advertising and marketing campaign opportunities to increase their brand and product exposure within the SaaSMAX Marketplace. Such campaigns will include advertising on the public pages of the SaaSMAX.com website; offering webinars; publishing real-time announcements; sponsorships of email newsletters; custom email campaigns; and more.


Sales and Business Development


We anticipate that our sales and business development resources will be primarily dedicated to identifying quality Solution Providers and SaaS App Vendors’s in the SMB market sector to join and participate in the SaaSMAX Marketplace. Relationships with our members are anticipated to be managed by the same resources, and we will strive to facilitate and increase the business conducted between our member Service Providers and App Vendors. We also anticipate that our sales and business development resources will focus on selling premium marketing and advertising opportunities to our members and to non-members. We intend to accomplish these strategies through telesales, online and email communication and by attending and speaking at relevant conferences.



17



Marketing


We anticipate that our future marketing activities may include all or some of the below activities:


·

Press releases and nurturing relationships with industry thought leaders and bloggers to gain third-party validation and generate positive coverage for the Company;

·

Participation in industry events, trade shows and online trade shows, webinars, etc. to create customer awareness, trust and enthusiasm;

·

Search engine marketing and search engine optimization;

·

Social Media – blog, LinkedIn groups, FaceBook and other online resources;

·

Web site development and design to create a pleasant and productive user-experience, engage and educate prospects and generate interest through information and demonstration, case studies, white papers and marketing collateral;

·

Email and phone campaigns to capture leads, promote the brand, conduct surveys and communicate information about our member participants;

·

Use of customer testimonials and case studies;

·

Promotions, partnerships and sponsorships as appropriate;

·

Advertising in industry related websites, blogs, e-newsletters and publications;

·

Industry contacts and relationships.

 

Customer Service and Support


We anticipate that basic customer support during business hours will be available to SaaSMAX customers.


Technology & Development


The Company has commenced its initial phase of development for the SaaSMAX website and Marketplace functionality and intends to complete this phase during the second quarter of 2011. The Company intends to commence software development for the Management Tools towards the end of the second quarter of 2011. Once we complete the initial development of the SaaSMAX Marketplace and Management Tools, we intend to continually develop new features and functionality for the overall Platform.


We expect that our customers will access our services through an easy-to-use web-based interface. Our web-based SaaS delivery method will give us control over our Marketplace content and permits us to make modifications at a single central location. We further expect to add additional functionality of our services and to be able to deliver additional products to our customers.


We intend to optimize the SaaSMAX to run on a specific database and operating system using the tools and platforms best suited to serve our customers. Performance, functional depth and the usability of our service will drive our technology decisions and product direction. The SaaSMAX Platform will be optimized for use on desktop computers, workstations, laptop computers, tablet devices and other handheld devices. Certain parts of the SaaSMAX Platform will also be available on mobile devices.


Infrastructure


Our technology infrastructure will be hosted externally by cloud service providers and redundantly stored in multiple data center locations. We expect that our customers will depend on the availability and reliability of our services and we have therefore selected an external hosting cloud service provider that is highly reliable and employs system redundancy in order to minimize potential system downtime.


Security


We intend to maintain high security standards and employ an intrusion detection system. Our software "firewalls" will be managed and monitored continuously. Our communications are secured using secure socket layer 128-bit encryption.. All incoming traffic must be authenticated before it is authorized to be passed on to the application. Once a user has been authorized, access control to specific functions within the site is performed by the application. Our access control system is highly granular and includes the granting and revocation of user permissions to functions on the site.



18



Competition


We have numerous direct, indirect and partial competitors, many of which have valuable industry relationships and access to greater resources than we do. The numerous types of direct or indirect competitors that exist in the market today include but may not be limited to: ecosystem marketplaces such as Google Apps Marketplace; enterprise software distributors who are now offering SaaS marketplaces, such as Ingram Micro; unaffiliated online SaaS marketplaces such as GetApp.com; affiliate programs, such as Commission Junction; and ISV in-house channel partner/reseller programs.


There is no assurance that we will be able to produce a product that will be competitive in the marketplace, and even if competitive that we will be able to earn a profit.


INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY


We do not presently have any patents or trademarks. We will rely on a combination of copyright and trade secrets as well as confidentiality procedures and contractual provisions to protect our proprietary technology and our brand. We will rely on copyright laws to protect copy on our web site and all marketing materials. We have registered several Internet domain names related to our business in order to protect our proprietary interests, including but not limited to SaaSMAX.com, SaasResellerNetwork.com and WiseSaaS.com.


From time to time, we may encounter disputes over rights and obligations concerning intellectual property. Also, the efforts we have taken to protect our proprietary rights may not be sufficient or effective. Any significant impairment of our intellectual property rights could harm our business, our brand and reputation, or our ability to compete. Also, protecting our intellectual property rights could be costly and time consuming.


EMPLOYEES


At June 3, 2011, the Company does not have any employees besides the Chief Executive Officer. Any administrative, marketing, technical, IT and/or software development work that is not handled by the CEO is outsourced to qualified professionals as deemed necessary.


PROPERTY


Our principal executive offices are temporarily located at the residence of Dina Moskowitz, our sole Director, for which we pay no rent.


MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION


This section of the Registration Statement includes a number of forward-looking statements that reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance. Forward-looking statements are often identified by words like believe, expect, estimate, anticipate, intend, project and similar expressions, or words which, by their nature, refer to future events. You should not place undue certainty on these forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from our predictions. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in this prospectus.


Plan of Operation


We are a start-up company presently developing the SaaSMAX website and Platform. The company plans to develop its business in several stages: (1) Develop and launch the alpha version of SaaSMAX.com; bring on early adopter App Venders (ISVs) and Solution Providers to join, test, and provide feedback that will be incorporated into the beta version. (2) Develop the beta version of SaaSMAX.com to include the Management Tools that enable commission tracking and provisioning; bring on additional App Vendors and Solution Providers to join, test and provide feedback; achieve a critical mass of early adopters. (3) Refine the SaaSMAX Platform based upon feedback of alpha and beta participants and launch SaaSMAX.com to the broader community of App Vendors, EcoSystems, IT Channels & Consultants; and (4) Continue to expand the functionality and features of the SaaSMAX Platform.


Results of Operations

 

Revenues


For the period from January 19, 2011 (Inception) through February 28, 2011, SaaSMAX recognized no revenues. We are still a development stage company and do not expect to begin generating revenues until we begin offering our product and services.



19



Operating Expenses

 

Total operating expenses for the period from January 19, 2011 (inception) through February 28, 2011, totaled $9,020 and consisted primarily of fees incurred in the development of our SaaSMAX software and Platform totaling $7000 and approximately $1000 incurred in the incorporation of the Company.


Net Loss


During the period from January 19, 2011 (inception) through February 28, 2011, the Company incurred a net loss of $9,020 due primarily to operating expenses as described above.

 

Capital Resources and Liquidity


Net cash used in operating activities was $1859 for the period from January 19, 2011 (inception) through February 28, 2011, and is primarily attributable to the payment of development and corporate fees.

 

Net cash provided by financing activities during the period from January 19, 2011 (inception) through February 28, 2011, was

$158,100 and resulted from the Company’s sale of 790,500 shares of common stock via a private placement.

 

We currently rely on cash flows from financing activities to fund our capital expenditures and to support our working capital requirements. We expect that future cash requirements will principally be for capital expenditures and working capital requirements.

 

Critical Accounting Policies


Basis of presentation

 

No assurance can be given that a market for the SaasMAX Platform will develop or that customers will be willing to pay to participate in the SaasMAX Platform. For the period from January 19, 2011 (inception) through February 28, 2011, the Company incurred net losses totaling $9020; had net cash used in operating activities totaling $1859; and had an accumulated deficit of $9020 as of February 28, 2011. If the Company is unable to generate sufficient cash flow from operations and/or continue to obtain financing to meet its working capital requirements, it may have to curtail its business sharply or cease business altogether.


Use of estimates


The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.


Revenue recognition


Upon the generation of revenue, the Company shall follow the guidance of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Staff Accounting Bulletin 104 for revenue recognition. The Company will recognize revenue when it is realized or realizable and earned. The Company considers revenue realized or realizable and earned when it has persuasive evidence of an arrangement that the services have been rendered to the customer, the sales price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. Subscription revenues shall be recognized over the period benefited. Deferred revenues shall be recorded when cash has been collected, however the related service has not yet been provided.


Income taxes


The Company uses the liability method of accounting for Income Taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. A valuation allowance can be provided for a net deferred tax asset, due to uncertainty of realization.

Net loss per common share

 

Net loss per common share is computed pursuant to ASC No. 260 “Earnings Per Share.” Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potentially outstanding shares of common stock during each period. There were no potentially dilutive shares outstanding as of February 28, 2011.


Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements


In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-06, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements” (“ASU 2010-06”). ASU 2010-06 requires some new disclosures and clarifies some existing disclosure requirements about fair value measurement as set forth in Codification Subtopic 820-10. ASU 2010-06 amends Codification Subtopic 820-10 to now require (1) a reporting entity to disclose separately the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and describe the reasons for the transfers; (2) in the reconciliation for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs, a reporting entity should present separately information about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements, and (3) a reporting entity should provide disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. ASU 2010-06 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years.  Since the requirements of ASU 2010-06 only relate to disclosure, the adoption of this guidance did not have an effect on our financial position or results of operations.


Experienced and Dedicated Personnel


We intend to maintain a highly competitive team of experienced and technically proficient employees and motivate them through a positive work environment and stock ownership. We believe that employee ownership, which may be encouraged through a stock option plan, is essential for attracting, retaining and motivating qualified personnel. While we have not yet adopted a stock option plan, we intend to do so in the near future.


Financing Needs


 

Including the net proceeds from the recent private placement stock offering, the Company only has sufficient funds to conduct its operations for twelve to eighteen months. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to the Company, if at all.


 

If we are not successful in generating sufficient liquidity from Company operations or in raising sufficient capital resources, on terms acceptable to us, this could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations liquidity and financial condition.


 

The Company presently does not have any available credit, bank financing or other external sources of liquidity, other than the net proceeds from the offering. Due to its brief history and historical operating losses, the Company’s operations have not been a source of liquidity. The Company will need to obtain additional capital in order to expand operations and become profitable. In order to obtain capital, the Company may need to sell additional shares of its common stock or borrow funds from private lenders. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in obtaining additional funding.


 

The Company will need additional investments in order to continue operations. Additional investments are being sought, but the Company cannot guarantee that it will be able to obtain such investments. Financing transactions may include the issuance of equity or debt securities, obtaining credit facilities, or other financing mechanisms. The recent downturn in the U.S. stock and debt markets could make it more difficult to obtain financing through the issuance of equity or debt securities. Even if the Company is able to raise the funds required, it is possible that it could incur unexpected costs and expenses, fail to collect significant amounts owed to it, or experience unexpected cash requirements that would force it to seek alternative financing. Further, if the Company issues additional equity or debt securities, stockholders may experience additional dilution or the new equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing holders of the Company’s common stock. If additional financing is not available or is not available on acceptable terms, the Company will have to curtail its operations.

 

Recent Financings


 

During the period January 19, 2011 (Inception) through June 3, 2011, the Company raised $200,100 in private financing from accredited investors. These funds were utilized for the daily operating activities of the company. The investors purchased shares from the Company at $.20 per share.

Director Independence

 

Our board of directors is currently composed of one member, who does not qualify as an independent director in accordance with the published listing requirements of the NASDAQ Global Market. The NASDAQ independence definition includes a series of objective tests, such as that the director is not, and has not been for at least three years, one of our employees and that neither the director, nor any of his family members has engaged in various types of business dealings with us. In addition, our board of directors has not made a subjective determination as to each director that no relationships exist which, in the opinion of our board of directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director, though such subjective determination is required by the NASDAQ rules. Had our board of directors made these determinations, our board of directors would have reviewed and discussed information provided by the directors and us with regard to each director’s business and personal activities and relationships as they may relate to us and our management.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT


The following table sets forth certain information, as of June 3, 2011, with respect to any person (including any “group”, as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) who is known to us to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent (5%) of any class of our voting securities, and as to those shares of our equity securities beneficially owned by each of our directors and executive officers and all of our directors and executive officers as a group. Unless otherwise specified in the table below, such information, other than information with respect to our directors and executive officers, is based on a review of statements filed with the Securities and Exchange commission (the “Commission”) pursuant to Sections 13 (d), 13 (f), and 13 (g) of the Exchange Act with respect to our common stock. As of June 3, 2011, there were 4,000,500 shares of our common stock outstanding.


The number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by each person is determined under the rules of the Commission and the information is not necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership for any other purpose. Under such rules, beneficial ownership includes any shares as to which such person has sole or shared voting power or investment power and also any shares which the individual has the right to acquire within sixty (60) days after the date hereof, through the exercise of any stock option, warrant or other right. Unless otherwise indicated, each person has sole investment and voting power (or shares such power with his or her spouse) with respect to the shares set forth in the following table. The inclusion herein of any shares deemed beneficially owned does not constitute an admission of beneficial ownership of those shares.

 

The table also shows the number of shares beneficially owned as of June 3, 2011 by each of our individual directors and executive officers, by our nominee directors and executive officers and by all our current directors and executive officers as a group.

(1) Beneficial Ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and generally includes voting or investment power with respect to securities. Shares of common stock subject to options, warrants, or convertible debt currently exercisable or convertible, or exercisable or convertible within 60 days of June 3, 2011 are deemed outstanding for computing the percentage of the person holding such option or warrant but are not deemed outstanding for computing the percentage of any other person. Percentages are based on a total of shares of common stock outstanding on June 3, 2011, and the shares issuable upon the exercise of options, warrants exercisable, and debt convertible on or within 60 days of June 3, 2011.


Option Grants in Last Fiscal Year

 

We did not award options to our executive officers 1/19/11 through 2/28/11 under any incentive plans.


Aggregate Option Exercises in Last Fiscal Year and Fiscal Year End Option Values

 

There were no option exercises by our executive officers  1/19/11 through 2/28/11.


Employment Contract and Termination of Employment Agreements

 

We have no employment agreements with any officers or employees.

 

Limitations on Liability and Indemnification of Officers and Directors

 

Our certificate of incorporation includes a provision that eliminates the personal liability of our directors for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, to the fullest extent permitted by Nevada Revised Statutes. Our certificate of incorporation also provides that we must indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Nevada law and advance expenses to our directors and officers in connection with a legal proceeding to the fullest extent permitted by Nevada law, subject to certain exceptions. We are in the process of obtaining directors’ and officers’ insurance for our directors, officers and some employees for specified liabilities.



23



The limitation of liability and indemnification provisions in our certificate of incorporation may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against directors for breach of their fiduciary duty. They may also have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors and officers, even though an action of this kind, if successful, might otherwise benefit us and our stockholders. Furthermore, a stockholder’s investment may be adversely affected to the extent we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers pursuant to these indemnification provisions. However, we believe that these indemnification provisions are necessary to attract and retain qualified directors and officers.


SEC Policy on Indemnification

 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.


Long Term Incentive Plans

 

There are no long term incentive plans.


CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS


None


DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES


 

Our authorized capital consists of 100,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) and 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $.001 per share (the “Preferred Stock”). At the close of business on June 3, 2011, the Company had 4,000,500 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding.

 

Common Stock


 

Holders of the Company’s common stock are entitled to one vote for each share on all matters submitted to a stockholder vote. Holders of common stock do not have cumulative voting rights. Therefore, holders of a majority of the shares of common stock voting for the election of directors can elect all of the directors. Holders of the Company’s common stock representing a majority of the voting power of the Company’s capital stock issued, outstanding and entitled to vote, represented in person or by proxy, are necessary to constitute a quorum at any meeting of stockholders. A vote by the holders of a majority of the Company’s outstanding shares is required to effectuate certain fundamental corporate changes such as liquidation, merger or an amendment to the Company’s articles of incorporation.


 

Holders of the Company’s common stock are entitled to share in all dividends that the board of directors, in its discretion, declares from legally available funds. In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up, each outstanding share entitles its holder to participate pro rata in all assets that remain after payment of liabilities and after providing for each class of stock, if any, having preference over the common stock. The Company’s common stock has no pre-emptive rights, no conversion rights and there are no redemption provisions applicable to the Company’s common stock.

 

Preferred Stock

 

 

Our Articles of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of up to 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock with designations, rights and preferences determined from time to time by its Board of Directors. Accordingly, our Board of Directors is empowered, without stockholder approval, to issue preferred stock with dividend, liquidation, conversion, voting, or other rights which could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of the common stock. In the event of issuance, the preferred stock could be utilized, under certain circumstances, as a method of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change in control of the Company. Although we have no present intention to issue any shares of its authorized preferred stock, there can be no assurance that the Company will not do so in the future

 

Options and Warrants


None.


Transfer Agent and Registrar


The transfer agent for our common stock is Action Stock Transfer Inc. 7069 S. Highland Drive, Suite 300, Salt Lake City, UT 84121 Telephone: (801) 274-1088. Until the present time, we have acted as our own transfer agent and registrar.



24



PENNY STOCK

 

The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9 which establishes the definition of a "penny stock," for the purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require:


·

that a broker or dealer approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks; and

·

the broker or dealer receive from the investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased.


In order to approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must:

 

·

obtain financial information and investment experience objectives of the person; and

·

make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and the person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks.

 

The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prescribed by the Commission relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form:

 

·

sets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination; and

·

that the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to the transaction.

·

disclosure also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and in secondary trading and about the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions. Finally, monthly statements have to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.

 

These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the stock that is subject to these penny stock rules. Consequently, these penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities. We believe that the penny stock rules will discourage investor interest in and limit the marketability of our common stock.


SELLING SHAREHOLDERS


The table below sets forth information concerning the resale of the shares of common stock by the Selling Stockholders. The term “Selling Stockholders” includes the persons and entities named below, and their transferees, pledges, donees, or their successors. We will file a supplement to this prospectus to name any successors to the Selling Stockholders who will use this Prospectus to resell their securities. We will not receive any proceeds from the resale of the common stock by the Selling Stockholders. Assuming the Selling Stockholders sell all the shares registered below, none of the Selling Stockholders will continue to own any shares of our common stock.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION


The selling stockholders may, from time to time, sell all or a portion of the shares of common stock on any market upon which the common stock may be quoted, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Our common stock is not currently listed on any national exchange or electronic quotation system. To date, no actions have been taken to list our shares on any national exchange or electronic quotation system. Because there is currently no public market for our common stock, the selling stockholders will sell their shares of our common stock at prevailing market prices or privately negotiated prices. There can be no assurance that the Company will be approved for listing on the OTC Bulletin Board. The shares of common stock may be sold by the selling stockholders by one or more of the following methods, without limitation:

 

(a) block trades in which the broker or dealer so engaged will attempt to sell the shares of common stock as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;




26



(b) purchases by broker or dealer as principal and resale by the broker or dealer for its account pursuant to this prospectus;


(c) an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the exchange or quotation system;

 

(d) ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker solicits purchasers;

 

(e) privately negotiated transactions; and

 

(f) a combination of any aforementioned methods of sale.

 

The shares may also be sold in compliance with the Securities and Exchange Commission's Rule 144.

 

In the event of the transfer by any selling stockholder of his or her shares to any pledgee, donee or other transferee, we will amend this prospectus and the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part by the filing of a post-effective amendment in order to have the pledgee, donee or other transferee in place of the selling stockholder who has transferred his or her shares.

 

In effecting sales, brokers and dealers engaged by the selling stockholders may arrange for other brokers or dealers to participate. Brokers or dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling stockholders or, if any of the broker-dealers act as an agent for the purchaser of such shares, from the purchaser in amounts to be negotiated which are not expected to exceed those customary in the types of transactions involved. Broker-dealers may agree with the selling stockholders to sell a specified number of the shares of common stock at a stipulated price per share. Such an agreement may also require the broker-dealer to purchase as principal any unsold shares of common stock at the price required to fulfill the broker-dealer commitment to the selling stockholders if such broker-dealer is unable to sell the shares on behalf of the selling stockholders. Broker-dealers who acquire shares of common stock as principal may thereafter resell the shares of common stock from time to time in transactions which may involve block transactions and sales to and through other broker-dealers, including transactions of the nature described above. Such sales by a broker-dealer could be at prices and on terms then prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to the then-current market price or in negotiated transactions. In connection with such re-sales, the broker-dealer may pay to or receive from the purchasers of the shares, commissions as described above.

 

No broker dealer received any securities as underwriting compensation.

 

The selling stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that participate with the selling stockholders in the sale of the shares of common stock may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with these sales. In that event, any commissions received by the broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares of common stock purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act.

 

From time to time, the selling stockholders may pledge their shares of common stock pursuant to the margin provisions of their customer agreements with their brokers. Upon a default by a selling stockholder, the broker may offer and sell the pledged shares of common stock from time to time. Upon a sale of the shares of common stock, the selling stockholders intend to comply with the prospectus delivery requirements, under the Securities Act, by delivering a prospectus to each purchaser in the transaction. We intend to file any amendments or other necessary documents in compliance with the Securities Act which may be required in the event any selling stockholder defaults under any customer agreement with brokers.

 

To the extent required under the Securities Act, a post effective amendment to this registration statement will be filed, disclosing, the name of any broker-dealers, the number of shares of common stock involved, the price at which the common stock is to be sold, the commissions paid or discounts or concessions allowed to such broker-dealers, where applicable, that such broker-dealers did not conduct any investigation to verify the information set out in this prospectus and other facts material to the transaction. In addition, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement will be filed to include any additional or changed material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed herein.

 

We, and the selling stockholders, will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations under it, including, without limitation, Rule 10b-5 and, insofar as the selling stockholders are distribution participants and we, under certain circumstances, may be a distribution participant, under Regulation M.


The anti-manipulation provisions of Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 will apply to purchases and sales of shares of common stock by the selling stockholders, and there are restrictions on market-making activities by persons engaged in the distribution of the shares. Under Regulation M, a selling stockholder or its agents may not bid for, purchase, or attempt to induce any person to bid for or purchase, shares of our common stock while they are distributing shares covered by this prospectus. Accordingly, the selling stockholder is not permitted to cover short sales by purchasing shares while the distribution it taking place. We will advise the selling stockholders that if a particular offer of common stock is to be made on terms materially different from the information set forth in this Plan of Distribution, then a post-effective amendment to the accompanying registration statement must be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of the common stock.



27



All expenses of the registration statement including, but not limited to, legal, accounting, printing and mailing fees are and will be borne by us. Any commissions, discounts or other fees payable to brokers or dealers in connection with any sale of the shares of common stock will be borne by the selling stockholders, the purchasers participating in such transaction, or both.

 

Any shares of common stock covered by this prospectus that qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as amended, may be sold under Rule 144 rather than pursuant to this prospectus.


LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

We are not currently a party to any legal proceedings nor are any contemplated by us at this time.

 

LEGAL MATTERS

 

The validity of the shares of common stock being offered hereby will be passed upon for us by The Bingham Law Group APC., Carlsbad, California.

 

INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES

 

Our Articles of Incorporation, as amended, provide to the fullest extent permitted by Nevada law, our directors or officers shall not be personally liable to us or our shareholders for damages for breach of such director's or officer's fiduciary duty. The effect of this provision of our Articles of Incorporation, as amended, is to eliminate our rights and our shareholders (through shareholders' derivative suits on behalf of our Company) to recover damages against a director or officer for breach of the fiduciary duty of care as a director or officer (including breaches resulting from negligent or grossly negligent behavior), except under certain situations defined by statute. We believe that the indemnification provisions in our Articles of Incorporation, as amended, are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and officers.


Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act" or "Securities Act") may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM



The Board of Directors and Stockholders of

SaaSMAX, Inc

San Diego, California


We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of SaaSMAX, Inc, from January 19, 2011 (inception) to February 28, 2011, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows in the period ended February 28, 2011. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.


We conducted our audit in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.


In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of SaaSMAX, Inc. from January 19, 2011 (inception) to February 28, 2011, and the result of its operations and its cash flows for period ended February 28, 2011, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

SaaSMAX, INC.

(A Development Stage Company)

Notes to the Financial Statements

February 28, 2011


NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND PLAN OF OPERATIONS


SaaSMAX, Inc. (“SaaSMAX” or the “Company”) was incorporated on January 19, 2011 under the laws of the State of Nevada with its principal place of business in San Diego, California. SaaSMAX is a development stage company that is developing and launching an online global business-to-business marketplace for software-as-a-service (“SaaS”) providers, resellers and users, with the goal to improve the sales value chain in this rapidly growing sector.


Upon incorporation, SaaSMAX authorized 100,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001 per share and 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.001.


The Company’s mission is to become a channel program for SaaS, by facilitating, improving and increasing the Sales Value Chain for SaaS Applications (“SaaS Apps”). Our plan is to develop and launch the SaaSMAX Marketplace, which is intended to be a "B2B" or business to business solution to be implemented between SaaS App Vendors and SaaS Solution Providers, that will enable SaaS App Vendors to market, promote and manage the sales and distribution of their SaaS App to participants in the Sales Value Chain and to business users around the world. The SaaSMAX Marketplace will also provide easy- to-use tools for SaaS Resellers and Solution Providers to, among other things, thoroughly research each listed SaaS App, including online demos, technical specifications, ratings, support, pricing, and commission plans. The SaaSMAX Marketplace will also provide a Solution Provider Directory which will contain the business profiles of Solution Providers, which will enable businesses to network with Solution Providers, and will enable Solution Providers to generate new business leads.


We are a development stage business and have had no revenue since our formation. There can be no assurance that we will complete the development of the SaaSMAX Marketplace, and even if completed that the SaaSMAX Marketplace will generate any revenues.


NOTE 2 – PRIVATE PLACEMENT MEMORANDUM


Subsequent to incorporation, SaaSMAX offered (the "Offering") to sell 1,000,000 shares of common stock (the “Shares”) at $0.20 per share in a private placement pursuant to Rule 506 of Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act") . The Shares were being offered on a “Best Efforts” basis to "Accredited Investors" as that term is defined under Rule 144 of Act. There was no minimum amount required to complete the Offering. Accordingly, the Company may sell substantially less than 1,000,000 Shares in the Offering. The private placement was to terminate on March 15, 2011. As of February 28, 2011, the Company had sold 790,500 shares of common stock in the Offering, resulting in an increase in capital of $158,100 (see also Note 6 - Subsequent Events).


NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


Basis of presentation


The Company intends to enter into an agreement with each of its potential ISVs in which the ISV agrees to compensate SaaSMAX for every purchase transaction that is initiated through the SaaSMAX Online Marketplace or a private labeled version thereof. The Company will be responsible for monitoring, aggregating and reporting total transaction volumes completed between its member Service Providers and the ISVs.


Revenue is expected to be captured through multiple avenues including but not limited to:


1)

Earning fees from SaaS App Vendors who list their respective SaaS Apps on the SaaSMAX Marketplace.

2)

Earning fees from SaaS App Vendors for promotions or advertising campaigns within the SaaSMAX Marketplace.

3)

Earning commissions based upon a percentage of the revenue earned from SaaS App purchases that were transacted via the SaaSMAX Marketplace and/or SaaSMAX members. And,

4)

Earning advertising and marketing fees for companies who advertise within the SaaSMAX Marketplace or on the SaaSMAX website.


There can be no assurance that we will be successful in generating any revenue from the means stated above.



F-7



Revenue recognition


Upon the generation of revenue, the Company shall follow the guidance of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Staff Accounting Bulletin 104 for revenue recognition. The Company will recognize revenue when it is realized or realizable and earned. The Company considers revenue realized or realizable and earned when it has persuasive evidence of an arrangement that the services have been rendered to the customer, the sales price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. Subscription revenues shall be recognized over the period benefited. Deferred revenues shall be recorded when cash has been collected, however the related service has not yet been provided.


Use of estimates


The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.


Cash


For purposes of the balance sheet and statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.


Fair Value Estimates


Pursuant to the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) No. 820, “Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments”, the Company records its financial assets and liabilities at fair value. ASC No. 820 provides a framework for measuring fair value, clarifies the definition of fair value and expands disclosures regarding fair value measurements. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the reporting date. ASC No. 820 establishes a three-tier hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value:


 

Level 1—Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.


Level 2—Inputs (other than quoted prices included in Level 1) are either directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability through correlation with market data at the measurement date and for the duration of the asset/liability’s anticipated life.

 

Level 3—Inputs reflect management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Consideration is given to the risk inherent in the valuation technique and the risk inherent in the inputs to the model.


The carrying values for cash and accounts payable approximate their fair value due to their short maturities.


Income taxes


The Company uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized by applying the statutory tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences between the financial reporting and tax filing bases of existing assets and liabilities are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized.


Net loss per common share


Net loss per common share is computed pursuant to ASC No. 260 “Earnings Per Share”. Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potentially outstanding shares of common stock during each period. There were no dilutive shares outstanding as of February 28, 2011.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements


In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-06, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements” (“ASU 2010-06”). ASU 2010-06 requires some new disclosures and clarifies some existing disclosure requirements about fair value measurement as set forth in Codification Subtopic 820-10. ASU 2010-06 amends Codification Subtopic 820-10 to now require (1) a reporting entity to disclose separately the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and describe the reasons for the transfers; (2) in the reconciliation for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs, a reporting entity should present separately information about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements, and (3) a reporting entity should provide disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. ASU 2010-06 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. Since the requirements of ASU 2010-06 only relate to disclosure, the adoption of this guidance did not have an effect on our financial position or results of operations.


NOTE 4 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY


The Company was incorporated on January 19, 2011. The authorized shares of the Company consist of 100,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001 per share and 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.001 per share. As of February 28, 2011, the Company had sold 790,500 shares of common stock at $0.20 per share. Additionally, the two founders of SaaSMAX were issued a combined total of 3,000,000 shares of common stock. The purchase of the shares is evidenced by a Founders’ Receivable in the amount of $3,000 which is included in Stockholders’ Equity in the accompanying Balance Sheet. (See also Note 6- Subsequent Events for additional shares sold.)


NOTE 5 – INCOME TAXES


The Company incurred a loss of $9,020 for the period from January 19, 2011 (Inception) to February 28, 2011. As of February 28, 2011, the Company has a net operating loss carry forward of $3,067 available to reduce future taxable income for federal and state income tax purposes. The Company established a full valuation allowance in accordance with the provision of SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” The Company continually reviews the adequacy of the valuation allowance and recognizes a benefit from income taxes only when reassessment indicates that it is more likely than not that the benefits will be realized.


No provision was made for federal income tax since the Company has net operating losses.


NOTE 6 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS


Management evaluated subsequent events of the Company through May 13, 2011, the date the financial statements were issued, and concluded that no subsequent events have occurred that would require recognition in the Financial Statements or disclosure in the Notes to the Financial Statements, except as follows:


Subsequent to February 28, 2011, SaaSMAX raised an additional $42,000 from the sale of 210,000 shares of common stock through its Offering.

ITEM 14. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS


Our articles of incorporation provide that no director or officer shall be personally liable for damages for breach of fiduciary duty for any act or omission unless such acts or omissions involve intentional misconduct, fraud, knowing violation of law, or payment of dividends in violation of the Nevada Revised Statutes.


Our bylaws provide that we shall indemnify any and all of our present or former directors and officers, or any person who may have served at our request as director or officer of another corporation in which we own stock or of which we are a creditor, for expenses actually and necessarily incurred in connection with the defense of any action, except where such officer or director is adjudged to be liable for negligence or misconduct in performance of duty. To the extent that a director has been successful in defense of any proceeding, the Nevada Revised Statutes provide that he shall be indemnified against reasonable expenses incurred in connection therewith.


Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Company has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy and is, therefore, unenforceable.


ITEM 15. RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES.


Since inception in January 19, 2011 through June 3, 2011, the Company issued an aggregate of 1,000,500 shares of common stock to thirty-one accredited investors in exchange for $200,100 through a private placement investment.


 

All of the above offerings and sales were deemed to be exempt under rule 506 of Regulation D and Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. No advertising or general solicitation was employed in offering the securities. The offerings and sales were made to a limited number of persons, all of whom were accredited investors, business associates of the Company or executive officers of the Company, and transfer was restricted by the Company in accordance with the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933. In addition to representations by the e above-referenced persons, we have made independent determinations that all of the above-referenced persons were accredited or sophisticated investors, and that they were capable of analyzing the merits and risks of their investment, and that they understood the speculative nature of their investment. Furthermore, all of the above-referenced persons were provided with access to our Securities and Exchange Commission filings.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS


(a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:


(1)

To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:


(i)

To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”);


(ii)

To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events which, individually or together, represent a fundamental change in the information in this registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) pursuant to Rule 424(b), if in the Aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and


(iii)

Include any additional or changed material information on the plan of distribution.


(2)

For purposes of determining liability under the Securities Act, to treat each post-effective amendment as a new registration statement of the Securities offered, and the offering of the securities at that time to be the initial bona fide offering.


(3)

To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.


(b)

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Company has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.


In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Company of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Company in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Company will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.


(c)

Each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.
