What Is a Reg CF Offering?

A Reg CF Offering is an SEC exemption under Regulation Crowdfunding that allows eligible companies to raise capital from the public through an SEC-registered funding portal or broker-dealer. It is the most accessible securities exemption available, opening capital formation to investors of any income level, not just accredited investors.

Reg CF Requirements cap annual raises at $5 million and demand specific disclosure documents, financial statement review tied to the amount raised, and ongoing annual reporting once the offering closes. A Reg CF Offering is straightforward in concept but unforgiving in execution if the Reg CF Requirements are not followed precisely.

Most advisors are excellent in one lane — securities counsel without tax-side leverage, or portal logistics without disclosure judgment. A Crowdfunding Securities Offering done well requires both, working together from the first filing.

What's Included in Our Reg CF Counsel

Our Reg CF Offering services are built around your specific raise, ensuring every disclosure document and portal relationship is structured correctly from the outset.

1. Eligibility & Offering Structure

Eligibility assessment for Regulation Crowdfunding
Form C disclosure document drafting and exhibits
Financial statement review or audit coordination, scaled to your raise amount
Offering structure and security type selection (equity, debt, or revenue share)

2. Funding Portal Coordination

3. Founder Tax Modelling

4. Post-Offering Compliance

Who Our Reg CF 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 Reg CF offering or broader capital raise 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

Consumer and community-driven brands wanting to turn customers into capital partners through a Reg CF Offering

Boards seeking ongoing securities counsel, not a firm that hands off after the portal closes

We are candid about fit. Anyone looking to launch a Reg CF Offering without proper diligence, disclosure review, and tax modelling is not the engagement we take on.

From Reg CF Offering to Full Public Markets

Our securities work is phased and built around your offering from your Reg CF Offering through to post-IPO compliance, when you reach that stage. Many companies layer a Reg CF raise alongside or ahead of Reg A+ crowdfunding or a Reg D private placement to diversify their capital sources.

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

Form C and disclosure drafting — full disclosure document, exhibits, and funding portal coordination

Post-offering compliance programme — Form C-AR annual reporting and investor communication management

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 Reg CF 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 are the key Reg CF Requirements?

Reg CF Requirements include filing a Form C disclosure document, providing financial statements scaled to your raise amount, using an SEC-registered funding portal, and submitting annual Form C-AR reports once the Regulation Crowdfunding offering closes.

How is Reg CF different from Reg A+ crowdfunding?

Reg CF caps annual raises at $5 million and requires a registered funding portal, whilst Reg A+ crowdfunding allows up to $75 million with SEC qualification rather than a simpler Form C filing. Reg A+ also permits broader marketing latitude.

Can non-accredited investors participate in Crowdfunding Securities Offering?

Yes. This is the defining feature of Reg Crowdfunding. Unlike Regulation D, which is largely limited to accredited investors, Regulation Crowdfunding allows investors of any income level to participate, subject to individual investment limits based on income and net worth.

Do I need audited financial statements for a Reg CF Offering?

It depends on the amount raised. Smaller raises require only reviewed financials, whilst larger Reg CF Offerings nearing the $5 million cap require audited statements. We assess the correct threshold during your eligibility review.

Why does QSBS planning matter during a Reg CF Offering?

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

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

Yes. Many companies use a Reg CF Offering to build a community of investors before progressing to Reg A+ crowdfunding or a full S-1 registration. Structuring the initial raise correctly avoids costly rework later.
