It is, in effect, a new type of IPO but with much less regulation and cost. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  \u003cstrong\u003eRegulation A(+): How the JOBS Act Creates Opportunities for Entrepreneurs and Investors\u003c\/strong\u003e spells out new processes that can and will have a dramatic impact on how companies obtain growth capital to create new jobs and bolster returns for investors.

Regulation A+ lifts many constraints on soliciting funds and trading new stock issues. Among other things, readers of this book will learn how to take advantage of these provisions: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e  \u003cli\u003eRegulation A+ permits companies to raise up to $50 million, a tenfold increase over the old limit of $5 million, and much more than the crowdfunding provisions of the JOBS Act ($1 million). \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eRegulation A+ allows companies to market IPOs to more people than just “accredited investors” and makes it easier to get the word out on offerings. \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eRegulation A+ allows certain companies to avoid the SEC periodic reporting regimen (Form 10-K, Form 10-Q, Form 8-K, and proxy statements), provided that the number of shareholders is kept below revised thresholds. \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eRegulation A+ exempts certain companies from many onerous and costly compliance requirements, including Sarbanes-Oxley. \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003c\/ul\u003e  \u003cp\u003eIn short, \u003cstrong\u003eRegulation A+\u003c\/strong\u003e greatly simplifies the capital-raising process, making it easier to grow companies, create jobs, and reward investors.\u003c\/p\u003e           What you’ll learn\u003cul\u003e  \u003cli\u003eHow Title IV of the JOBS Act amends Regulation A, making it easier for you to raise up to $50 million in expansion capital while avoiding burdensome regulations. \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eHow raising funds through Regulation A might now be a better and less costly choice for raising capital than current options (like loans or venture capital). \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eHow to use Regulation A to gain liquidity for your business, your employees, and your investors—while maintaining control. \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eHow to abide by Regulation A rules before, during, and after an IPO. \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eWhat kinds of businesses can take part in Regulation A offerings \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eHow and where to trade shares after the IPO. \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003c\/ul\u003e  Who this book is for      \u003cp\u003e     Executives of emerging growth companies, entrepreneurs, financial advisers, venture capitalists, investment bankers, securities lawyers, finance and MBA students, and others.         \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Apress","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47139364765936,"sku":"9781430257325","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781430257325_p0.jpg?v=1763751189","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781430257325","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
