Regulation A allows companies to offer and sell securities to the public, but with more limited disclosure requirements than what you would currently expect from publicly reporting companies. In comparison to registered offerings, smaller companies in earlier stages of development may be able to use this rule to more cost-effectively raise money.
How does Regulation A affect me?
With recent changes, Regulation A may present new opportunities for you to invest in early stage and smaller companies and businesses. If you take advantage of these opportunities, however, you should also be fully aware that your investment will involve risk.
