REGULATED INVESTMENT CROWDFUNDING (REG-CF)
Regulation Crowdfunding, often referred to as Reg CF, is a crowdfunding method established by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under Title III of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups (JOBS) Act. It allows small businesses and startups to raise capital from a large number of individual investors online through SEC-registered intermediary, either a broker-dealer or a funding portal. This regulation was enacted to make it easier for entrepreneurs to access funding and for everyday investors to participate in early-stage investment opportunities.

REGULATION A/A+ (REG-A)
Regulation A provides an exemption from the registration process for public offerings. This regulation comprises two offering tiers: Tier 1, which allows offerings of up to $20 million within a 12-month timeframe, and Tier 2, designed for offerings of up to $75 million over the same period. For offerings not exceeding $20 million, companies have the option to choose between the requirements of Tier 1 or Tier 2.
Both Tier 1 and Tier 2 offerings have certain fundamental requirements in common, which encompass company eligibility criteria, provisions for disqualifying bad actors, disclosure obligations, and related aspects. However, Tier 2 offerings come with additional requirements, such as restrictions on the maximum amount a non-accredited investor can invest in a Tier 2 offering, the mandate for audited financial statements, and the obligation to file ongoing reports. Importantly, issuers conducting Tier 2 offerings are not compelled to register or seek qualification of their offerings with state securities regulators.Button
