Book excerpt: On April 5, 2012, President Barack Obama signed the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act, better known as the JOBS Act. The act is designed to "reopen American capital markets to small companies," defined in the act as Emerging Growth Companies . This is one of the most significant legislative initiatives in finance since the Securities and Exchange Acts of 1933 and 1934, and it opens up funding to a slew of companies previously shut out of the capital markets. Here's the good news: Small businesses and startups will be able to raise up to $1 million in equity (or debt) funding online via what are called Crowdfunding Platforms -online communities and websites. Imagine an eBay-like site that allows you to post your idea for a commercial venture online and then allows investors to purchase equity shares or stakes in it. As one journalist put it, it's "social media meets venture capital." How can you get in on the new funding opportunities? That's what The JOBS Act: Crowdfunding for Small Businesses and Startups is all about. Investment expert William Michael Cunningham shows how the new law will enable you to use the internet to raise significant amounts of capital funding for your startup. After discussing briefly the development and implementation of the law, what it means, and how it will impact the business startup marketplace, he delivers the nuts and bolts of how to take advantage of the JOBS Act to access new sources of capital for your small business or startup. As you'll see, the act has the power to unleash a new wave of innovation, increase employment, and set many more average entrepreneurs and investors on the road to wealth. Not just for entrepreneurs, The JOBS Act: Crowdfunding for Small Businesses and Startups will benefit investors, securities lawyers, community development specialists, educators, venture capitalists, and those offering services in the new crowdfunding arena. It is, simply, the most current and most comprehensive compendium of information on the law and its impact on this new market. What you'll learn What the JOBS Act is and why it's needed The JOBS Act's definition of "crowdfunding," "crowdfunding platforms," and "emerging growth companies" How to get up to $1 million through crowdfunding The risks and rewards of taking advantage of JOBS Act How to stay on the right side of the law when soliciting funds How to identify and deal with reliable crowdfunding platforms and companies How businesses owned by women an...

Book Synopsis The Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act Takes the Bite Out of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 by : Stacie Townsend
Download or read book The Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act Takes the Bite Out of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 written by Stacie Townsend and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 57 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (“JOBS Act”), which became law in April 2012, made significant deregulations to the United States' securities law. One such deregulation essentially eliminated the outsider audit mandated by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“SOX”). There are strong justifications for and against this law. However, one significant interest is missing from the discussion -- corporate governance. Corporate governance is important because it furthers Congress's goals of job creation and economic growth. Because the outsider-audit requirement improves corporate governance practices, this Note proposes a different approach for regulating the controversial outsider-audit requirement. Instead of backpedaling on SOX section 404(b)'s outsider-audit provision, the JOBS Act should retain section 404(b), provide a limited exception for businesses that are both small and young (businesses that make less than $75 million and are less than ten years old), and encourage businesses to voluntarily strengthen their corporate governance frameworks.

Book excerpt: Crowdfunding has become an evolving method of raising money via the Internet to fund a variety of projects. Under the Securities Act of 1933, the offer and sale of securities must be registered unless an exemption from registration is available. Title III of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups (JOBS) Act of 2012 added Securities Act Section 4(a)(6) that provides an exemption from registration for certain crowdfunding transactions. Crowdfunding allows your private business to turn to outside sources to raise capital.
Download or read book The JOBS Act written by Daniel Jeng and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With great fanfare, the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act, popularly known as the "JOBS Act", passed through Congress and, on April 15, 2012, earned President Obama's approval. This paper offers a review of the Act, delving into its historical background, purpose, and important titles. Title II amends Rule 506 of Regulation D to lift the prohibition of general solicitation and general advertising. Title III enables "equity crowdfunding", a novel and controversial fundraising method. These two titles expand capital formation channels to both accredited investors and to the "ordinary American investor". The struggle to strike the optimal balance between efficient capital formation and strong investor protection animates both Title II and Title III provisions as well as rule-making by the Securities and Exchange Commission. This paper offers four qualities that characterize the "ideal JOBS Act startup": 1) a smaller capital requirement; 2) a shorter timeline for success and product development; 3) a simple fundamental idea and business model; and 4) the elusive human element.

Book Synopsis The JOBS Act and Crowdfunding by : Abbey Stemler
Download or read book The JOBS Act and Crowdfunding written by Abbey Stemler and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 6 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On April 5, 2012, President Barack Obama signed into law the Jumpstart Our Business Startups (JOBS) Act, dramatically changing the landscape for many companies raising capital. One of the most interesting sections of the Act is Title III, the CROWDFUND Act, which enables entrepreneurs and small business owners to sell limited amounts of equity in their companies to a large number of investors via social networks and various Internet platforms. Prior to the CROWDFUND Act, selling equity interests in companies via crowdfunding was for all practical purposes illegal under United States securities laws. The Act attempts to exempt crowdfunding from expensive registration requirements and allow crowdfunding websites to avoid the classification of broker, which would impose substantial registration costs on such sites. Through the CROWDFUND Act, equity-based crowdfunding has the potential to open funding opportunities to countless underfunded entrepreneurs and small businesses. In addition, it can provide investors with new ways to diversify their portfolios. However, the benefits of crowdfunding do not come without substantial risks. Given the combination of unsophisticated investors, inherently risky businesses, and the zeitgeist that changed regulations quickly, crowdfunding must be approached with caution.

Book Synopsis How the Jobs Act is Reshaping IPOs by : Dane Blevins
Download or read book How the Jobs Act is Reshaping IPOs written by Dane Blevins and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Jumpstart Our Business Startups (JOBS) Act was signed into law on April 5th, 2012. A key objective of the act was to allow new ventures in the United States to go public and raise growth capital more easily and cost-effectively than before. The aim of this paper is to discuss the implications of the JOBS Act for initial public offerings (IPOs). We argue that the JOBS Act gives rise to important spillover effects that may create ambiguous consequences for IPOs. The central question is whether the JOBS Act's mandate of facilitating fund raising can come to fruition and, if so, which features of the Act may shift capital markets in entrepreneurship. Our paper begins to address this question and aims to serve as a catalyst for future academic work in this area.
Book Synopsis A Very Quiet Revolution by : Thaya Knight
Download or read book A Very Quiet Revolution written by Thaya Knight and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the early 2000s, “crowdfunding” has emerged as a means of obtaining funds for new and innovative projects. Until the recent passing of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (the JOBS Act), there was no legal way for businesses to tap this network to offer a financial interest to the public without registering the offering with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). With the President's signing of the JOBS Act in April 2012, however, there is a new exemption under the securities laws that will permit the sale of securities via crowdfunding, thus opening the doors to those businesses that have been unable to utilize existing crowdfunding methods. While the concept of crowdfunding securities offerings through the Internet is very 21st century, the regulatory regime that will govern these offerings is the same 80 year-old framework that governs the sale of all securities, no matter how small the offeror. This essay introduces this complex regulatory regime and is intended as a rudimentary roadmap for the start-up or its counsel. It will, hopefully, help to illuminate the traps for the unwary while providing an overview of the regulatory universe in which securities crowdfunding will operate.

Download or read book The JOBS Act of 2012 written by Jeremy Britton Whitbeck and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The President signed the Jumpstart Our Business Startups (JOBS) Act on April 5, 2012, to overwhelmingly bipartisan, congressional support. The legislation was enacted to “increase American job creation and economic growth by improving access to the public capital markets for emerging growth companies.” The Act was an amalgamation of six related bills introduced in the House of Representatives. The law reduces regulatory burden on smaller companies, eliminates the strict prohibition of general solicitation and advertising in private offerings, allows companies to utilize crowdfunding up to $1 million per year, extends the small issues exemption to offerings up to $50 million, and increases the maximum number of shareholders to 2,000 for private companies and banks exempt from registration. This Article details at the provisions of the JOBS Act and analyzes their impact on capital formation and investor protection. Part I discusses the Reopening American Capital Markets to Emerging Growth Companies Act, examining the emerging growth company status and the impact on issuers and investors. Part II discusses Access to Capital for Job Creators Act, which lifts the ban on general solicitation for offering made up solely of accredited investors or qualified institutional buyers. Part III discusses the Capital Raising Online While Deterring Fraud and Unethical Non-Disclosure Act, which legalizes equity crowdfunding. Part III will examine the crowdfunding provision and the requirements for issuers, intermediaries, and investors. Part IV discusses the Small Company Capital Formation Act, which increases the cap on Regulation A offerings from $5 million to $50 million. In conclusion, Part V discusses both Private Company Flexibility and Growth Act and Capital Expansion Act, which increase the shareholder limit for private companies and banks.
Book Synopsis The Jobs Act and the Costs of Going Public by : Susan Chaplinsky
Download or read book The Jobs Act and the Costs of Going Public written by Susan Chaplinsky and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We examine the effects of Title I of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act for a sample of 312 emerging growth companies (EGCs) that filed for an initial public offering (IPO) from April 5, 2012 through April 30, 2015. We find no reduction in the direct costs of issuance, accounting, legal, or underwriting fees for EGC IPOs. Underpricing, an indirect cost of issuance that increases an issuer's cost of capital, is significantly higher for EGCs compared to other IPOs. More importantly, greater underpricing is present only for larger firms that are newly eligible for scaled disclosure under the Act. Overall, we find little evidence that the Act in its first three years has reduced the measurable costs of going public. Although there are benefits of the Act that issuers appear to value, they should be balanced against the higher costs of capital that can occur after its enactment.
