2012 is slated to be an exciting year for both entrepreneurs and established business owners alike. The JOBS Act provides that the SEC eliminates restrictions on general solicitation and advertising for private offerings, effectively legalizing crowdfund investing as a powerful way of raising capital for your company without having to go public. This is not to say, however, that crowdfunding will be a financial free-for-all without specific accounting and filing requirements. Whether you’re looking to build a customized crowdfunding campaign from scratch or just want to keep a pulse on the industry, we’ve carefully curated the most useful resources for you:
1) Crowdfunding Website Reviews
Planning and executing your crowdfunding campaign is a delicate process. Selecting the appropriate resources for your individual needs is essential for success and avoiding costly pot holes along the way. If crowdfunding resources are as new as the investment strategy itself, how do you know whom to trust? This is where Crowdfunding Website Reviews comes in.
As its name implies, Crowdfunding Website Reviews provides honest, third-party opinions on a variety of categories ranging from crowdfunding marketing services to equity crowdfunding platforms. For each website, you’ll find a quick list of ratings accompanied by an in-depth written review. Crowdfunding Website Reviews is by far the most comprehensive platform for finding quality services for your crowdfunding needs.
