Securities
A tacit understanding of securities law is vital for any business leader since fundraising outside of a bank or personal loan will likely involve issuing securities. Simply put, a security is any written evidence of ownership, and it most commonly takes the form of stocks, bonds, and options. There are federal laws governing securities, along with state laws that vary widely. The Venture Attorney can help you determine which state laws you are accountable to and what you must do in service of each state security law before issuing securities to avoid legal liabilities.
The Securities Act, a federal law, passed in 1933, requires all securities offerings to be registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) or exempt from registration through an exemption form. Registering with the SEC can be time-consuming and expensive. In most cases, we advise our clients to seek exemption, and we support them in finding the most advantageous exemption for their business.
