Raising Investor Money for your Business.

You may have a great idea for a business but not enough money to make it work. There are many ways to structure a business deal to make it attractive to an investor and help you achieve your objectives. You can borrow money from a lender such as for a real estate investment or get friends and relatives to donate funds for your venture. We have extensive experience in structuring and raising investor funds for business.

If you are new to the investor field you must become aware of the securities laws and regulations. Almost all types of investment in enterprises are classified as "securities" under state and federal law. This means that you are risking violating one of these myriad rules unless you have the assistance of a trained professional to guide you.

Raising money privately is normally done by use of a private placement memorandum. This is a written document that sets forth in writing what the deal is and what you plan to give the investor for his participation in the enterprise. Drafting a private placement memorandum is something we have can assit you with. This document is also helpful in protecting you from a lawsuit for fraud later if the deal does not turn out as well as you expected. In this document you must make a full, fair disclosure of all material facts about yourself and the proposed enterprise.

We can assist you in raising money in the public stock markets therough the sale of stock to the public. This is a highly regulated area and one in which we have experience.

In raising even small amounts of money it is wise to make a claim of exemption from securites laws by filing the necessary forms with the California Corporations Commissioner. There is a small cost but one that may prevent ptoeblems or official inquires in the future.
