Workshop on How to Take Your Company Public Under the JOBS ACT

MIAMI - March 26, 2014 - PRLog -- Workshop on "How to Take Your Company Public Under the JOBS ACT"
April 24th, 2014, 8:30 AM - 4:30 PM

Presented by Wall Street Advisory Group | Organized by the Doral Chamber of Commerce | Powered by New Media, New Marketing, Inc.

Special Guest Appearance: The Honorable Joe Garcia, Congressman, Representing the 26th District of Florida

JOBS ACT OVERVIEW:
On April 5, 2012, President Obama signed into law the Jumpstart Our Businesses Startups Act (the "JOBS ACT"). This bipartisan legislation is designed to stimulate job growth by making it easier and less costly for smaller companies to raise capital in the United States through a loosening of regulatory restrictions applicable to private offerings, initial public offerings and certain newly public companies.

To help you understand the JOBS ACT and the new regulations, such as the general solicitation rules, and understand how they apply to your business, this workshop will serve as a dedicated resource for up to date and easy to find JOBS Act information, analysis and commentary.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission adopted new rules that repeal the ban on general solicitation for many private offerings of securities. This will dramatically expand the scope of permitted fundraising activities for many types of investment funds, start-ups and operating companies. It will also make the Internet an integral part of many fundraising efforts. However, there are limitations and trade-offs, and a host of open questions.

In this 8-hour hands-on workshop business owners will learn:

Module 1: General Applicability

Draft Registration Statements Required to Be Submitted and Filed Using EDGAR
Draft Registration Statements to Be Submitted and Filed on EDGAR
Research Analysts and Underwriters
FAQ: Confidential Submission Process for Emerging Growth Companies

Module 2: Access to Capital for Job Creators

FAQs: Exemption from Broker-Dealer Registration in Title II of the JOBS Act
Voluntary Submission of Rule 506(c) Materials

Module 3: Crowdfunding (Title III)

Crowdfunding Intermediaries
Notice: Use of the Crowdfunding Exemption
Crowdfunding & The JOBS Act: A New Potential Source of Funding for Startups Individuals and aspiring startups have used "Non-Equity Crowdfunding", exploiting sites like Kickstarter and Indiegogo to obtain small contributions from many individuals. The "backers" receive a coupon, movie ticket, or product in return. However, the landscape is about to change. By passing the JOBS Act last year, Congress authorized Equity Crowdfunding, whereby entrepreneurs will soon be able to sell equity in their startups to everyday people. The JOBS Act also required the SEC to eliminate the prohibition on using "general solicitation" when all purchasers of the securities are "accredited investors" and the issuer takes reasonable steps to verify that the purchasers are accredited investors. Come and learn about opportunities, as well as drawbacks, related to Equity Crowdfunding, the general solicitation rule, and the SEC's proposed regulations.
