SEC Adopts Rules to Permit Crowdfunding
The SEC adopted final rules, effective April 27, 2016, known as “Regulation Crowdfunding”, which greatly liberalize the manner by which companies privately raise money in small increments from a large number of investors, using the Internet. Regulation Crowdfunding also creates a regulatory framework for the intermediaries -- broker-dealers and funding portals --which will facilitate the online transactions.
