Ready to finance your venture the Kickstarter way? With equity crowdfunding rules finalized by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the landmark 2012 JOBS Act has finally gone live, freeing small businesses to raise up to $1 million without a lengthy, expensive IPO process.
For many start-up companies and entrepreneurs, the "Regulation Crowdfunding" rules mean better access to small investors, less red tape, more capital for launching companies, and faster growth--especially if you get in early and do it right.
Legal and small business expert Cliff Ennico has followed the equity crowdfunding story since its inception. In
The Crowdfunding Handbook, he explains the federal legislation and translates the 685-page SEC Regulation Crowdfunding document into a clear set of dos and don'ts, with targeted answers to all your questions:
- Is crowdfunding my best bet for raising capital? - What types of securities should I offer, and how should I price them?
