Compliance Requirements for Issuers
- Understanding and Adhering to Exemptions: Issuers must fully understand the specific rules under Regulation D, such as Rule 504, Rule 506 (b), and Rule 506 (c). Failing to comply with these rules can lead to penalties, the loss of exemption status, or the need to retroactively register with the SEC. We develop an offer service which covers all popular cases out of the box.
- Filing Form D: Issuers are required to file Form D with the SEC within 15 days after the first sale of securities. Our administration panel ensures timely reminders and management to keep you compliant with this critical requirement.
- State Compliance: While Reg D offerings are exempt from federal registration, issuers must also comply with state securities laws. We have invested significant time and resources into developing our offering service and administration tool, designed to help mitigate these compliance risks and streamline the process for you.
Investor Limitations
- Accredited Investor Verification (Rule 506(c)): Issuers utilizing Regulation D, 506 (c) are permitted to engage in general solicitation but must take "reasonable steps" to verify the accreditation of all participating investors, a process that can be both complex and resource-intensive. Our thoughtfully designed compliance solution streamlines this verification, helping you avoid significant costs and operational burdens.
Investor Protections
- Protecting Non-Accredited Investors (Rule 506(b)): Under Regulation D, 506 (b), issuers can accept investments from a limited number of non-accredited investors. Our investment service handles all the regulatory complexities, allowing you to focus on scaling your business and driving growth.

We continuously adapt to emerging risks and enhance our security pipelines to safeguard your offerings against cyberattacks.

- Investor Relations and Transparency: Issuers are required to maintain ongoing communication with investors, providing timely updates to ensure transparency and mitigate legal risks.
