Disclaimer

This is not legal or investment advice of any kind

Your situation may vary

The more you know about finance and business, the more you can profit

Page 3: Better Than Equity Crowdfunding

People are very excited about

the new equity crowdfunding

rules

Page 4: Better Than Equity Crowdfunding

Now small ventures do not have to chase

venture capitalists for seed money

Page 5: Better Than Equity Crowdfunding

There are some limits to what you

can do with the new equity

crowdfunding rules

Page 6: Better Than Equity Crowdfunding

You can only

raise $1 million

Page 7: Better Than Equity Crowdfunding

Lower income investors are

limited to investing $2,000 per year or 5% of their income or

net worth

Page 8: Better Than Equity Crowdfunding

Even a very wealthy investor can only invest $100,000 in all

the crowdfunding deals he does in

one year

Page 9: Better Than Equity Crowdfunding

`

The new equity crowdfunding

rules limit public advertising

Page 10: Better Than Equity Crowdfunding

Offering details can only be on

one crowdfunding

platform

Page 11: Better Than Equity Crowdfunding

Equity

crowdfunding offerings must be made through one

registered crowdfunding

portal or a broker-dealer

Page 12: Better Than Equity Crowdfunding

In some circumstances

you have to have financial

statements reviewed or

audited by a CPA

Page 13: Better Than Equity Crowdfunding

You need to pay for a registered transfer agent to

record stock ownership and

transfer

Page 14: Better Than Equity Crowdfunding

You must pay EDGAR filing fees to file the offering with

SEC

Page 15: Better Than Equity Crowdfunding

You have to pay the

crowdfunding portal or broker

Page 16: Better Than Equity Crowdfunding

How surprised would you be to discover there is another way to

raise more equity for your

venture?

Page 17: Better Than Equity Crowdfunding

With Reg D Rule 504 you can raise

$1 million and that will soon go up to $5 million

Page 18: Better Than Equity Crowdfunding

If you structure the offering

right, there are no federal limits on advertising, only state limits

Page 19: Better Than Equity Crowdfunding

You are not limited to

advertising on one funding

portal

Page 20: Better Than Equity Crowdfunding

There are no specific federal

rules on the required

information you must offer

Page 21: Better Than Equity Crowdfunding

Audited or CPA reviewed financial

statements are not required

Page 22: Better Than Equity Crowdfunding

While there is no specific

information you must give

investors, full disclosure is

highly recommended

Page 23: Better Than Equity Crowdfunding

Unlike equity crowdfunding, there are no ongoing disclosure requirements

Page 24: Better Than Equity Crowdfunding

There are no EDGAR or

transfer agent fees

Page 25: Better Than Equity Crowdfunding

In fact, in the right

circumstances you can do both a

crowdfunding offering and a Reg D offering for even more

money
