Avoid potential pitfalls when raising capital by learning how to utilize SEC Rule 506(c) and understanding the key elements of the crowdfunding regulation.
The Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (the JOBS Act) became law on April 5, 2012, and was designed, in part, to enhance the raising of capital, especially by small or emerging businesses. As a result of the JOBS Act, the SEC promulgated new rules to facilitate capital formation. While these new rules enhance opportunities to raise capital, they create certain obstacles and pitfalls, and they do not eliminate the traditional methods in which companies have sought capital. This material will explore capital raising techniques authorized by the JOBS Act and also examine the interplay between these techniques and the traditional methods of capital formation which continue, for many small and mid-size companies, to be the preferred way of seeking capital. The effects of the JOBS Act on public company requirements and the issues raised by the current COVID-19 pandemic will also be discussed.
