Private Placement of Securities San Diego Summary

Using a private placement of securities San Diego Corporate Law orchestrates to raise capital is an essential part of starting or growing a business. Any form of equity, including shares of preferred stock, common stock, LLC membership interests, or limited partnership interests, may be sold via the documents for a private placement of securities San Diego Corporate Law drafts and, when necessary, files with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, the California Department of Business Oversight, and/or the agencies of other states regulating the sale of securities. Just as any form of equity may be sold, a private placement of securities San Diego Corporate Law prepares may also be used to sell debt instruments, including convertible notes, non-convertible promissory notes, and other evidences of indebtedness.

A bank loan, including a loan underwritten by the United States Small business Administration, may be more difficult to secure because business loans and lines of credit are frequently tied to the personal credit scores of the business promoters, founders, or shareholders, and almost always require those promoters, founders, and shareholders to each provide a personal guaranty of the performance of the business for the loan or line of credit.

In the alternative, financing from a private placement of securities San Diego Corporate Law prepares will not necessarily be dependent upon the personal credit of promoters, founders, and shareholders, and will not require any form of personal guaranty. However, finding investors with the capital to invest in an equity or debt offering requires connections to such investors, and investors may have their own, individual criteria for investing. Having a strong business plan, strong business financials, demonstrated ownership of intellectual property, and a proven track record in business are all factors investors generally consider when evaluating an investment opportunity.

Equity Offering
