What are Private Securities Offerings?
Private securities offerings refer to the sale of securities (such as stocks, bonds, or other financial instruments) by a company to a select group of investors, rather than to the general public. These offerings are typically made to raise capital for the business, expand operations, or fund new projects. Unlike public offerings, private securities offerings are not registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and are subject to fewer regulatory requirements.
Private securities offerings can take various forms, including private placements, Regulation D offerings, Rule 506 offerings, and crowdfunding campaigns. Each type of offering has its own set of rules and regulations that must be followed to ensure compliance with securities laws and to protect investors.

Private Placements
Private placements are a common type of private securities offering in which a company sells securities to a select group of investors, including accredited investors and institutional investors. Private placements are exempt from registration with the SEC under Regulation D, which sets out specific rules for offering securities in this manner.
Private placements offer several advantages, including the ability to raise capital quickly, avoid the costs and delays associated with a public offering, and maintain greater control over the offering process. However, private placements also come with certain restrictions, such as limitations on the number and type of investors who can participate and restrictions on the resale of securities.
At TaberPatrick Law Firm, we have extensive experience assisting clients with private placements and can help you navigate the legal requirements and compliance issues associated with these offerings. Our attorneys can draft offering documents, review investor qualifications, and ensure that your private placement is conducted in accordance with all applicable securities laws.
Regulation D Offerings
Regulation D is a set of SEC rules that provide exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 for certain private securities offerings. Regulation D offerings are divided into three distinct rules (Rule 504, Rule 505, and Rule 506), each of which sets out specific requirements and limitations for private placements.
Rule 504 allows companies to offer and sell up to $5 million of securities within a 12-month period, with no restrictions on the type of investors who can participate. Rule 505 permits offerings of up to $5 million to an unlimited number of accredited investors and up to 35 non-accredited investors. Rule 506 includes two distinct exemptions (Rule 506(b) and Rule 506(c)), with different requirements for offerings conducted under each rule.
Navigating the complexities of Regulation D offerings can be challenging, but the attorneys at TaberPatrick Law Firm are here to help. We can advise you on the most suitable rule for your private securities offering, assist with drafting offering documents and disclosure statements, and guide you through the entire offering process to ensure compliance with securities laws.
Crowdfunding Campaigns
Crowdfunding has emerged as a popular alternative to traditional methods of raising capital, allowing companies to raise funds from a large number of investors through online platforms. Crowdfunding campaigns can take various forms, including donation-based crowdfunding, rewards-based crowdfunding, and equity crowdfunding.
Equity crowdfunding, in particular, involves the sale of securities to investors in exchange for an ownership stake in the company. While equity crowdfunding offers a new and innovative way for businesses to raise capital, it also comes with regulatory challenges and compliance requirements that must be carefully managed.
TaberPatrick Law Firm has the experience and expertise to assist you with equity crowdfunding campaigns and other forms of crowdfunding. Our attorneys can help you navigate the legal and regulatory aspects of crowdfunding, draft offering documents and investor agreements, and ensure compliance with securities laws throughout the fundraising process.
