With the passage of the JOBS Act in 2012, the Obama administration made it possible for every US citizen to invest in startups, regardless of wealth or status. On StartEngine, anyone can invest in private businesses and buy shares of stock, debt, revenue share, and more.<\/p>

Entrepreneurs no longer needed traditional sources of capital, such as private equity or venture capital firms, to bring their ideas to life; they just needed other like-minded visionaries willing to take a chance on something novel.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tStartEngine specializes in two regulations under the JOBS Act: Regulation Crowdfunding (Reg CF) and Regulation A+.\n\nUnder Reg CF, you can raise a maximum of $1.07M<\/strong> from both accredited and non accredited investors each year, every year.\n\nIf you raise $1.07M under Reg CF and are looking for more, you can use Reg A+ and raise up to $50M<\/strong> each year, every year.\n\nWe also allow companies to raise unlimited amounts of capital under Regulation D 506(c), raising capital exclusively from accredited investors.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The cost of launching a Regulation Crowdfunding campaign varies on a case-by-case basis, but generally speaking it costs between $4,000-$10,000 for the financial review and legal documentation required to launch a Reg CF campaign.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

However, it is possible to launch at no cost upfront if you meet a few criteria: 1) the company is incorporated as a Corporation and 2) the maximum raise limit is set to $107,000 to start, which allows you to self-certify the company\u2019s financials and save on the financial review cost.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Regulation A+ costs a good deal more, ranging anywhere between $50,000-$100,000. It takes longer to launch as well. Per a report from the SEC, it takes an average of 110 days to be qualified.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Given the cost and time of becoming qualified for a Regulation A+ offering, we recommend that companies begin with Regulation Crowdfunding if they are interested in raising capital through equity crowdfunding. If you want to learn more about Regulation A+, click here<\/a><\/span>, as the rest of this FAQ is devoted to Reg CF.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

In terms of fees, StartEngine only makes money when you raise money. We charge 7%* of total capital raised for Regulation Crowdfunding offerings, an additional 2% of what you raise in equity, as well as $10K in deferred revenue that we collect when the offering is complete.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

*The % charged may fluctuate between 7-12% based on the method of investment and fees associated.<\/em><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

What\u2019s the difference between accredited and non-accredited investors?<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

In essence, the difference can be distilled down to the wealthy vs. everyone else. The real definition is that accredited investors are individuals with a networth greater than $1M (excluding their primary residence) or an annual income exceeding $200K per year for two years ($300K if combined with a spouse). With equity crowdfunding, both accredited and non-accredited investors can invest in your business.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

We require that companies set a minimum funding goal of $10,000 for their campaign.

In order to collect capital on StartEngine as it comes in, you have to raise at least 120% of your minimum funding goal. Once you have raised $12,000 (120% of the $10,000 minimum funding goal) and the SEC-mandated 3 week cooling-period has expired, you can disburse funds raised as your campaign continues accepting new investments.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
