www.TheSecuritiesAttorneys.com Better Than Equity Crowdfunding People are very excited about the new equity crowdfunding rules. Now small ventures do not have to chase venture capitalists for seed money. There are some limits to what you can do with the new equity crowdfunding rules. You can only raise $1 million. Lower income investors are limited to investing $2,000 per year or 5% of their income or net worth. Even a very wealthy investor can only invest $100,000 in all the crowdfunding deals he does in one year. The new equity crowdfunding rules limit public advertising. Offering details can only be on one crowdfunding platform. Equity crowdfunding offerings must be made through one registered crowdfunding portal or a broker-dealer. In some circumstances you have to have financial statements reviewed or audited by a CPA. You need to pay for a registered transfer agent to record stock ownership and transfer. You must pay EDGAR filing fees to file the offering with SEC. You have to pay the crowdfunding portal or broker.
