History of Reg A, Reg D, and Reg CF
The Evolution of Capital Raising Regulations: Reg A, Reg D, and Reg CF
In the United States, the mechanisms through which companies can raise capital are largely governed by the Securities Act of 1933. Among the myriad of financial regulations, Regulations A, D, and CF stand out as critical pathways for companies seeking funding without undergoing the rigors of a full public offering. These regulations provide structured exemptions that enable companies to access crucial capital markets while balancing investor protection.

REG A+ FAQs
Can I keep my Reg A+ offering open Continuously?
A continuous offering is one where not all the stock offered is sold at the beginning after the offering is qualified. Some stock is reserved for later sale.
To have a continuous offering the company needs to be current in its annual and semiannual report filing at the time of sale.
You can do a continuous offering (1) for selling shareholders, (2) for a dividend or an employee benefit plan of the issuer, (3) for securities issued upon the exercise of outstanding options, warrants, or rights, for securities issued upon conversion of other outstanding securities, (4) for securities pledged as collateral, or (5) securities that are part of an offering which commences within two calendar days after the qualification date, will be offered on a continuous basis, may continue to be offered for a period in excess of 30 days from the date of initial qualification, and will be offered in an amount that, at the time the offering statement is qualified, is reasonably expected to be offered and sold within two years from the initial qualification date. Most companies will use continuous offerings for selling shareholders and stock that will be sold within the next two years after the offering is qualified.
Note that you cannot sell stock into the market in what is called an “at the market offering.” At the market simply means you are entering sell order into the market just as you would if you were an ordinary shareholder holding free trading stock. You cannot just hit the bid. You have to find a buyer.
Is it Possible To Raise Capital For a Venture Capital Fund Using Reg A+?
Venture Capital Funds that use 60% or more in simple debt for certain specialized loan types and 40% or less in equity holdings, can raise capital through Reg A+. The relevant SEC regulations are Sections 3(c)(5)(A) and (B) of the Investment Company Act.
The key requirement to qualify under Section 3(c)(5)(A) or (B) is that the loans or receivables held by the issuer must have been incurred by the obligor to finance the acquisition of specific goods or services and not for general purposes. If an issuer relies on Section 3(c)(5)(A), the loans and receivables held by the issuer must represent all or part of the sales price of merchandise, insurance or services. If an issuer relies on Section 3(c)(5)(B), the credit extended to the obligor must have been used to pay for specific goods or services. The fact that an obligation is secured by eligible property such as machinery and equipment is not by itself sufficient to permit reliance on Section 3(c)(5)(A) or (B).
This is a specialized type of fund, contact us for more details.
