Reg A+ Offering Counsel Serving Clients Nationwide from Ramsey, NJ

Ready to Raise From the Public Without a Full IPO?

A Regulation Crowdfunding offering can allow eligible companies to raise up to $5 million in a 12-month period through an SEC-registered intermediary. But a successful Reg CF offering requires careful attention to eligibility, disclosure requirements, financial statements, portal coordination, investor communications, and ongoing compliance.

At Crowne Point Tax & Wealth Counsel, based in Ramsey, NJ, we serve founders, CFOs, and boards nationwide through every stage of a Reg A Plus Offering, providing integrated legal, tax, and disclosure counsel rather than operating as a pure securities firm that hands off clients after qualification.

What Is a Reg A+ Offering?

A Reg A+ Offering is an SEC exemption under Regulation A that allows companies to raise capital from the public for both accredited and non-accredited investors through a streamlined qualification process rather than a full S-1 registration. It is often called a ‘mini-IPO’ because it opens the door to public capital without the full weight of a traditional offering.

A Reg A Public Offering comes in two tiers. Tier 1 allows raises up to $20 million with lighter state-level review, whilst Tier 2 allows up to $75 million annually with audited financials and ongoing reporting obligations but pre-empts most state blue-sky review.

Most advisors are excellent in one lane including securities counsel without tax-side leverage, or accounting without disclosure judgment. A Regulation A+ Offering done well requires both, working in tandem from the first filing

Who Our Reg A+ Offering Counsel Is Built For

This is a capital markets service for a specific kind of company, not a generic securities filing mill.

Founders, CFOs, and boards preparing for a capital raise, direct listing, or IPO who need integrated legal, tax, and disclosure counsel

Companies considering Reg D, Reg A+, Reg CF, or a full S-1 path, and the founders behind them who want capital raised without compromising long-term tax and estate posture

Pre-IPO companies needing private-to-public market guidance from a single coordinated team

Boards seeking ongoing securities counsel, not a firm that hands off after qualification

We are candid about fit. Anyone looking to launch a Reg A+ Offering without proper diligence, financial readiness, and disclosure review is not the engagement we take on.

From Reg A+ Offering to Full Public Markets

Our securities work is phased and built around your offering from your Reg A+ Fundraising round through to post-IPO compliance, when you reach that stage.

Pre-filing diligence & gap analysis — audit-readiness review, cap table clean-up, and related-party mapping

Offering circular and disclosure drafting — Form 1-A, exhibits, and SEC qualification review support

Post-offering compliance programme — Tier 2 ongoing reporting, Section 16, 10b5-1, and Form 4 obligations where applicable

Founder tax planning — QSBS planning, 83(b) review, and pre-IPO charitable transfers

Board & C-suite advisory — director questions, disclosure judgment, and ongoing securities counsel

A Regulation A+ Offering is rarely the final step. We structure it as one phase in a longer capital markets journey, so nothing built today has to be undone tomorrow.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Tier 1 and Tier 2 of Reg A+ Offering?

Tier 1 permits raises up to $20 million with lighter state-level review. Tier 2 permits up to $75 million annually, requires audited financial statements and ongoing reporting, but pre-empts most state blue-sky review, making it the more common path.

How long does a Regulation A+ Offering take to qualify?

Most Reg A+ Offerings take three to six months from initial filing to SEC qualification, depending on financial statement of readiness, the complexity of the offering circular, and the number of comment letter cycles required.

Can non-accredited investors participate in a Reg A Public Offering?

Yes. This is a defining feature of a Reg A Plus Offering. Unlike Regulation D, which is generally limited to accredited investors, Regulation A+ opens participation to the general public, subject to individual investment limits under Tier 2.

Does a Reg A+ Offering require audited financial statements?

Tier 2 Reg A+ Offerings require audited financial statements, whilst Tier 1 offerings require only reviewed financials in most cases. Audit-readiness should begin well before filing to avoid delays in your Reg A+ Fundraising timeline.

Why does QSBS planning matter during a Reg A+ Offering?

Qualified Small Business Stock planning protects founders’ future capital gains exclusion under IRC §1202. Building QSBS preservation into your Reg A+ Offering structure from the outset secures eligibility that becomes far harder to establish retroactively.

Can a Reg A+ Offering lead to a full IPO later?

Yes. Many companies use a Reg A+ Offering as a stepping stone toward a full S-1 registration and public listing. Structuring the offering correctly from the start avoids costly rework when you progress to the next stage.
