I have a CA company that plans to sell securities to the public. We are planning to use reg D 506 to comply w/the fed securities laws. I need to register the securities in CA. Can you please tell me how to do that? Thanks.

Reg D, rule 506 is not a public offerings registration. Rule 506 provides for the exemption of registration, not the registration of securities. The limited type of investors to which this can be offered and the state exemption requirements dictates that you get advice from a party that understands your needs and your plans in order to navigate the federal and state rules and regulations.

If you wish to discuss this further, please send me an email, or contact me at my office.

How quickly do you want to do this? Where are you located? Who do you have in mind as investors? How much do you wish to raise through these securities? If you are near the central coast, give me a call.

Hi,

Like previously said 506 is a PRIVATE offering. You would normally file a Form D with the state of California as well, however. Furthermore, a 506 is ONLY for accredited investors and a limited number of SOPHISTICATED investors. So please be careful.

You can do a public offering vis a vis an S-1 registration or some other public registration. There is also a intrastate offering that you could register in California. You have a couple of options depending on how much money you want to raise, advertising, etc.

If you email me personally, I may have a couple of articles I have written kicking around I can send you.

Jillian
