RegA+ Securities Lawyer
It’s imperative to have your offering filed by a US securities lawyer. They will check that the conditions of the RegA+ exemption are met and successfully filed with the SEC and states.
Importance of a Securities Lawyer.
Having a securities attorney on your side is important not only to successfully navigate the nuances of the filing process but also as a measure to protect your interests. Should there ever be a claim, an issue of conflict of interest, omission of facts, breach of fiduciary duty, trading without your permission, risky investments and more, you’ll be thankful they’re on your side.
-
FINRA Broker-dealer
It’s highly recommended that an issuer hire a broker dealer for their RegA+ offering. Consider them as your “insurance policy” for their typical 1-4% of the total raised amount. BD’s will satisfy requirements at the Federal SEC level and also the 50+ mini-SEC’s at the state level.
Why is a BD considered your “insurance policy”?
As the issuing company you want to focus on your offering, a BD is there to ensure compliance with respect to KYC/ID/AML, and investor suitability checks. Also, it’s a good idea to run all your marketing/advertising ideas and materials to make sure you’re onside with the SEC. This way the onus is on the BD.
There are 7 troubled states that require you to have a registered FINRA Broker-dealer to sell securities to investors.
The best insurance policy for your offering.
-
Assurance Dimensions
The issuers must provide audited financial statements for their prior two years (a one – year old company files a one year audit) in the offering statement and annual reports. All filings with the SEC have to be prepared in accordance with GAAP, and RegA+ Tier 2 requires an audit opinion.
What is a financial auditor?
A financial auditor reviews a company’s financial statements, documents, data and accounting entries. Financial auditors gather information from a company’s financial reporting systems, account balances, cash flow statements, income statements, balance sheets, tax returns and internal control systems. The information is then reviewed and used to present all financial data relating to a specific organization in an accurate, fair manner, ensuring that no fraud or gross errors are present in the company.
-
Escrow (Bank or Trust)
What is an escrow provider?
Offered through our KorePartners, business escrow services support your Offering’s critical investor transactions that require escrow processing to be held “in-trust” by a neutral party, typically via a bank or trust co.
Role of an Escrow Provider?
An escrow provider is required with your RegA+ and they provide an account where funds are held in trust whilst two or more parties complete a transaction. This means a trusted third party such as Escrow provider will secure the funds in a trust account. The funds will be disbursed to the issuer after the terms of the escrow agreement have been met.
-
SEC Transfer Agent
KoreConX private label all-in-one platform also provides you with a registered SEC Transfer Agent (TA). The KoreConX Transfer Agent role is included in your private label All-In-One platform. Rest assured that your regulatory requirements are being fulfilled.

Awareness & Succeeding with Investors.
Driving more “eyeballs” to your offering is a general ingredient to RegA+ success. Not every issuing company has a built-in fan or customer base that can be potential investors.
The Role of Investor Acquisition Firms.
These firms are very niche and specialized in how they generate awareness through media, optimize data from various channels, messaging support, and creative market approaches that all add to the positive outcome of your RegA+.
These are the different types of Investor Acquisition techniques/Tactics
