Publisher's Synopsis
In April 2012, President Obama signed the Jumpstart Our Business Startups (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. In this book, small-business and legal expert Cliff Ennico explains the JOBS Act and translates the regulations into a clear set of do's and don'ts, delivering targeted answers concerning issues like whether or not crowdfunding is your best bet, how to pick the right legal entity, how to select types of securities to offer, how to reach the most promising investors, how to keep crowds under control, and more, helping entrepreneurs and small-business owners who are looking to get in early do things right.
