Get Legal Help Before Making a Private Offering

Company owners seeking financing may wish to undertake a private securities offering. Before you start soliciting investments from shareholders, you may want to know that all of the following are considered advantages of offering securities through private placements only to accredited investors under Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933:

a. the offering can be made in a relatively short period of time;

b. the offering is exempt from registration with the SEC;

c. the offering is exempt from investor information delivery requirements; and

d. the issuer is not required (usually) to comply with periodic reporting provisions of federal securities laws.

Companies making private offerings need to make certain that the offering is made in compliance with the applicable securities laws. The type of offering described above may be relatively easier, but you need to conduct the offering in accordance with the applicable requirements, including with respect to making multiple filings.

If that exemption described above is not available, then another exemption from the draconian registration and qualification requirements must be found. It is important that you get sound legal advice about your private offering.
