Raising Money Legally (Securities Regulations)

Negligent failure to comply with state and federal law is an easy trap for fast moving executive teams who weigh the costs required for typical compliance methods against the risks of "getting caught". And that's because it CAN be expensive. It's not uncommon to spend upwards of $50,000 for multi-state offerings of $1,000,000.

But for entrepreneurs, properly registering their securities vitally protects them against strict rescissory liability, not to mention the potential for civil enforcement and criminal actions. And without initial compliance, the costs of raising the next round of capital, corporate investment or being acquired becomes dramatically more expensive and complex. Google's 2005 IPO was delayed five months, and cost millions of dollars in additional legal costs to remove unaccredited investors from the early-rounds of investment.

Compliance with securities regulation using Private Offering Exemptions is not just a valuable vitamin, it's a pain killer. And for a limited time, Active Capital's Exempt Private Offering registration costs only $250 online, with proceeds going to your local not-for-profit entrepreneur program.
