Crowdfunding is a unique way to raise funds, but it only works with the right kind of companies. Let us help structure an equity crowdfunding campaign that fits needs.

compliance

Federal securities laws are serious business. Small innocent mistakes related to securities compliance can cost a small company big liability both from an enforcement perspective and from your investors. Eilers Law Group is dedicated to ensuring that you are protected against compliance exposure and help protect you from those who may advise you, in their own interests, to take steps that jeopardize your company financially and criminally.

The rules set forth by the SEC restrict the manner in which securities are bought, sold and transferred. Often, these rules require reporting to the SEC and sometimes SEC approval. The rules also restrict who can be an investor and how you can engage with the investor. Besides the SEC, securities have many other regulator bodies looking over your shoulder. All companies are subject to state securities laws. Brokers and dealers are subject to FINRA oversight. Shares traded on any markets are generally subject to oversight by DTCC and the rules of the specific exchange, in addition to FINRA and the SEC.

Keeping up with compliance considerations can become overwhelming very quickly, especially when your real focus needs to be on building your company. Eilers Law Group is dedicated to your compliance above all else, so that you don’t have to worry about it.
