    About this ebook







    Ever wish your company could raise capital the Kickstarter® way? Equity
    crowdfunding is finally here, opening new funding avenues for small
    businesses and start-ups.






    In April 2012, President Obama signed the Jumpstart Our Business
    Startups—or JOBS—Act into law. This groundbreaking legislation empowers
    privately-owned companies to raise capital from investors without going
    through the rigorous IPO and private placement processes. When the SEC
    hands down the last regulations, the floodgates will open and companies
    will be free to compete for funding.






    Small business and legal expert Cliff Ennico has followed the equity
    crowdfunding story since its inception. Now, in The Crowdfunding
    Handbook    , he explains the JOBS Act and translates the regulations
    into a clear set of do’s and don’ts for entrepreneurs and small-business
    owners looking to get in early—and do things right.






    Need help pricing your securities? Pitching a project to the public?
    Choosing between funding platforms? Figuring out disclosure documents
    and reporting requirements?






    This book delivers targeted answers—whether crowdfunding is your best
    bet, picking the right legal entity, selecting types of securities to
    offer, reaching the most promising investors, keeping crowds under
    control, and more.






    IPOs are expensive, and venture capital nearly impossible to attract.
    Crowdfunding is changing the game for private companies . . . and this
    book will lead the way.
