In our Small Business Corporate Finance practice, we focus on advising businesses that have US$1 million to US$100 million in annual revenues to successfully close corporate finance transactions.

Through our Small Business Corporate Finance practice, we help your business safely navigate the U.S. Federal Securities Laws. When you undertake private placement offerings, our Small Business Corporate Finance advisors are with you, helping you to successfully complete the following types of private placement offerings, safe in the knowledge that you will not end up on the wrong side of the many Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules and regulations that regulate small business corporate finance:

 

Private Placement Exemption of Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “1933 Act”): this statutory exemption allows you to raise money through the issuance of debt or equity securities without registering those securities with the SEC corporate finance division. Certain characteristics of this SEC corporate finance registration exemption make it attractive when you are issuing securities to an institutional investor. This exemption can also be used as a back-up to Regulation D (see below) private placement corporate finance issuances.

 

Regulation D SafeHarbor for the limited offer and sale of securities without registration: Regulation D or Reg D is a corporate finance private placement exemption safe-harbor that allows your business to issue various amounts of securities while avoiding the hassle of complying with 1933 Act registration requirements. Rule 504 of Reg D allows you to privately offer and sell up to US$1,000,000; Rule 505 of Reg D allows you to privately offer and sell up to US$5,000,000. Rule 506 of Reg D allows you to privately offer and sell an unlimited amount of securities to a limited number of non-accredited investors and an unlimited amount of accredited investors.

 

Rule 701 Safe Harbor for Compensatory Benefit Plans: SEC rules and regulations, including the 1933 Act, prohibit even small businesses from issuing non-registered securities to employees, directors, officers, consultants or advisors. Rule 701 is an exemption that allows you to compensate employees, officers, directors, consultants and advisors through the private issuance of securities. This Small Business Corporate Finance exemption is particularly useful for emerging businesses that are looking to hold-down costs but continue to incentivize critical team members.

 

The AbdulJaami, PLLC Small Business Corporate Finance practice also safely guides you through the process of preparing to go public, or meeting corporate finance needs through the public issuance of securities under Regulation A of the 1933 Act. Regulation A allows business that are not currently subject to SEC reporting requirements to publicly offer securities. In order to take advantage of Regulation A, your company would need to file a Form 1-A. This exemption is particularly attractive to businesses that seek to meet corporate finance objectives up to US$5,000,000.

 

SEC rules and regulations can sometimes be difficult to navigate and penalties for inadvertent non-compliance can be significant. Our Small Business Corporate Finance practice is here to help you quickly and inexpensively meet your corporate finance objectives.
