Raising capital is one of the most fundamental core processes of any business. Prudent entrepreneurs and businesspeople seek out expansion funds from sources that offer the highest returns with the least legal liability. Private placements are one such source of business funds. The process involves the sale of securities through stocks or securities to private investors. If done properly, private placements are a great way to fund your business.

Instructions
Check the legal requirements that qualify your company for private placement. The offer made must either meet the requirements stipulated in 3(b) or 4(2) of the 1933 Act as developed through the Security and Exchange Commission (SEC) or follow the conditions under Regulation D of the 1933 Act. Due to the registration exemptions, Regulation D requirements have less stringent regulations on issuers, and are a suitable option.

Develop a business plan to present as part of the offering process. As a company, you will first raise a small amount of money to develop a refined business plan. Business plans are important statements that indicate the general outlay of how your business runs and how the private investment capital investment will be used to expand the business' operations.

Prepare a private placement memorandum (PPM) to offer information about your company to potential investors. Use an experienced attorney, a specialist in PPM or a brokerage firm, or prepare the document yourself using templates. Be clear, detailed and honest about the risks and potentials of the business. You may design a pre-offering summary to determine the market potentials for the proposed offering.

Present offering documents to registered sales representatives for distribution. The date for commencement of private offering is effective when the offering documents are made available. The termination date depends on the type of offering being made. An "all or nothing" offering has a fixed date for the termination of the offering. A "best efforts" offering has indeterminate termination until the full number of securities is placed and the purchasers are formally accepted by the issuer.

Number all offering documents and create a distribution sheet indicating the name and address of the registered sales representative. Review incoming checks for acceptability, and immediately confirm with subscribers upon acceptance of an offer. After selling your first securities, file Form D with your counsel and present it to the SEC and the state, if your state requires you to do so.

Accept any desirable offer by getting a signed copy of the client's account information, then obtaining a review of the contents of this form by a capable and experienced representative of the firm. Terminate the offering process by notifying the sales representatives and other involved persons.

Deposit the investor's money into an escrow account, where it shall be held until the "all or none" or "part or none" terms have been met. If the terms of the offering are met, the money will be transmitted to your company. the issuer. Otherwise, the monies will be returned to subscribers.
