Crowd Funding for Equity Solutions Series #8: Regulation A Versus Regulation D

Congress passed the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (JOBS Act) to encourage funding of small business by easing various securities regulations. Among other provisions, the JOBS Act raises the small business exemption under Regulation A from $ 5 million to $50 million (creating a new “Regulation A+),” it will permit general solicitations for equity under Regulation D, Section 508, and will enable small business to raise up to $ 1 million per year from small investors through online crowdfunding. Congress cast the burden on the Securities and Exchange Commission to make rules that will govern these new provisions.

The key is whether rules can be implemented in a cohesive and timely manner that will enable businesses to move seamlessly through higher levels equity offerings as intended under the JOBS Act.
