How Do I Make Sure My Stock Offering Complies with Securities Laws?

* From  Date: Wednesday, March 14 2007

Before an offer or sale of stock can be made, you need to take the proper steps to comply with the federal securities laws and the securities laws of the states where the offers or sales of stock are made. Typically, you will want to find a private placement exemption to avoid the costly procedures of conducting a registered offering.

It is always recommended to get advice from experienced professionals when dealing with federal securities laws.
