A Private Placement Memorandum (PPM) is the cornerstone legal document that explains your investment offering to potential investors. It outlines your business, financials, risk factors, and terms of the investment. A properly drafted PPM not only protects you legally but also builds credibility with investors — showing that you are serious, professional, and compliant. 👉 Learn more on our Legal Pillar page.

“Blue Sky” laws are state-level securities regulations. Even if your offering is federally compliant (e.g., under SEC Reg D), you must also file notices with each state where you plan to raise capital. We coordinate these filings for you so that you remain fully compliant and avoid regulatory setbacks. See how we handle this on our Compliance Pillar page.

The timeline depends on the scope of your raise, but most projects can be completed in 4–6 weeks. Legal drafting (PPM, subscription agreements) can take 2–3 weeks, and compliance filings another 1–2 weeks. With our system, we keep everything moving in parallel so you can begin fundraising as quickly as possible.

That depends on your industry, financials, and investor appeal. We’ve seen clients raise anywhere from $500,000 to $10 million+. What matters most is having the right foundation (legal + compliance), the right story (marketing), and the right approach (sales coaching). Our role is to prepare you so that when investors look at your deal, they see clarity and confidence — not risk.  Visit our Financials Pillar page to learn more.

Three things:
1. Compliance: Your legal filings are correct and up to date.
2. Financials: Your numbers are clear, GAAP-aligned, and future-focused.
3. Sales Execution: You have a polished pitch, professional materials, and you know how to handle investor objections.

Most entrepreneurs fail not because of the idea, but because they don’t look investor-ready. We bridge that gap.  Discover how on our Sales Pillar page.

Reg D (Rule 506(b)/506(c)) allows you to raise unlimited capital from accredited investors with lighter disclosure requirements. 506(c) also allows general solicitation if you verify accredited status.
Reg A+ allows you to raise up to $75 million from both accredited and non-accredited investors, but requires SEC qualification and more extensive disclosure.
 Reg D is faster and less costly; Reg A+ opens the door to a broader investor base but with more regulatory steps.

It depends on your structure:
– Reg D offerings generally do not require audited financials.
– Reg A+ offerings require audited financials, especially for Tier 2 raises.
Even when not required, having reviewed or audited statements increases credibility and investor confidence.

– Under Reg D 506(b), you cannot generally solicit or advertise.
– Under Reg D 506(c), you can advertise, but you must verify that all investors are accredited.
– Reg A+ allows broader promotion after SEC qualification.
 We help you structure your raise so you know exactly what’s allowed.

Investor expectations vary by industry, risk, and structure. Generally:
– Early-stage/high-growth: Investors may look for 3x–10x return potential.
– Established businesses: Investors may expect steady cash flow or dividends.
 The key is structuring your terms so they align with both investor expectations and your company’s growth capacity.

Ask yourself:
– Do I have a clear use of funds?
– Are my financials organized and GAAP-compliant?
– Can I articulate why investors should trust me?
If the answer is ‘not yet’ on any of these, that’s exactly where we come in. We prepare you across legal, compliance, financials, marketing, and sales so that when you approach investors, you’re truly investor-ready.
