DESCRIPTION
Change in 80-Year US Securities LawThe SEC has adopted JOBS Act Title III rules that will allow ordinary Americans to invest in early-stage companies for the first time in 80 years, streamlining the fundraising process for small companies. The historic rulings will create more options for startups and small businesses and a wider range of opportunities for small investors. Among other helpful developments, the new SEC rulings scale back proposed audit requirements and allow funding portals to take equity stakes in companies they sponsor. Some start-ups are expected to raise seed capital offline from angel investors and then supplement these raises with Title III offerings for up to $1 million to anyone online. Startups have been using Title II equity crowdfunding to raise capital for two years, but only from accredited investors. The new rules will not become effective until early next year.

The historic rulings will create more options for startups and small businesses and a wider range of opportunities for small investors.
Among other helpful developments, the new SEC rulings scale back proposed audit requirements and allow funding portals to take equity stakes in companies they sponsor.
Some start-ups are expected to raise seed capital offline from angel investors and then supplement these raises with Title III offerings for up to $1 million to anyone online.
Startups have been using Title II equity crowdfunding to raise capital for two years, but only from accredited investors. The new rules will not become effective until early next year.
