What is it?
The Form C is the required SEC filing for any company looking to raise capital through Regulation CF. It needs to be filed before your campaign can go live and before any advertising about your offering takes place.
As a potential investor, the Form C is a tool to evaluate the main points of an offering. Put yourself in their shoes – they need to understand the background of your company, the risks of investing in it, and how you plan to use the funds raised. The Form C provides a starting place for investors to learn about you.
What information is needed?
Most of the information is pretty straightforward. Here is a quick outline of what you need to prepare:
- Basic company information and legal status
- Info about the intermediary you are using (Vicinity’s identifying information, for example)
- Details about the securities offered (e.g. type, amount, deadline)
- Financial overview (e.g. assets, debt, income) from the last two fiscal years (as applicable)
- All U.S. jurisdictions you intend to offer securities (can be “all” or select states/territories)
