The Capital Markets are evolving at rapid pace since the signing of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (JOBS Act) as a new way to raise capital online.

What many marketers don't know however, is that there are a variety of rules and regulations regarding how businesses can accept investment capital and who can market these securities.  This all goes back to rule 17(b) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1933 that came after the great depression of 1929, when unscrupulous unregistered brokers hawked worthless worthless stock to unwitting investors.  This Rule is still in effect and the SEC continues to use it to prosecute promoters who violate it.

During this informational webinar, securities veterans Sara Hanks and Doug Ellenoff will walk participants through the following:

1. Why should you be concerned about section 17(b)
2. How do you comply with section 17(b)
3. Who is covered by the requirements?
4. Why haven't I heard about this before?
5. Why isn't the SEC taking action to enforce 17(b) requirements?
6. What are the best practices for compliance, given the wide range of entities it applies to?
