What Is Regulation A+?
Regulation A+ (“Reg A+”) allows for the direct solicitation of unsophisticated and non-accredited investors. In layman's terms, anyone can have access to and invest in an offering. This exemption allows companies to raise between $3 million and $75 million from anyone—regardless of assets and income levels. It has become a popular way for companies to raise larger amounts of capital, without having to go through the expensive filing with the Securities Commission. Reg A+ is known as a mini IPO because it allows companies to build out a large retail investor following and the company provides disclosures and reporting like a public company.
In a nutshell, Reg A+ offers a faster, easier and more diverse potential investor base for the right companies. Consumer-facing companies with well-defined product/service offerings that resonate well with the average investor are well-positioned for Reg A+. Above all, a well-defined company story and a clear strategy for attracting investors will boost a company's chances of success in raising capital with Reg A+.
