There are many different factors to consider when seeking private placements. Our lawyers have extensive experience helping new businesses understand those factors and preparing for venture capital due diligence. We work tirelessly to ensure their interests are protected as much as possible.
Our firm represents incubators, start-up portfolio companies, and other private placement-funded companies in:
- Drafting, reviewing and negotiating agreements for bridge loans and preferred stock financing
- Valuing the company
- Identifying weaknesses and risks
- Selling to accredited investors
- Avoiding untrustworthy promises from investors, financial consultants and others who claim they want to help you raise money
- Building a portfolio of relationships with investors and wealthy individuals
- Structuring a private placement agreement
Private Placement Advantages and Exemptions
Another important area of consideration is taking advantage of private placement exemptions and safe harbors under Regulation D of the 1933 Securities Act. There are a variety of exemptions, each with different advantages and disadvantages. Eliminating a cap on the amount of funds you can raise and overriding state securities regulations schemes are just some examples of the types of exemptions offered. Our San Jose Private Placement Exemption Lawyers will help you qualify for a particular exemption, or exemptions, according to your specific business needs.
