Welcome to our FAQ section, where we answer common questions about private placements and the services we offer. Whether you’re new to capital raising or looking to deepen your understanding, this guide provides clear answers to key topics in the private placement process.
A private placement is a method of raising capital through the sale of securities to a select group of investors, such as institutional investors, family offices, or accredited individuals. Unlike public offerings, private placements are not open to the general public and are typically exempt from the extensive regulatory requirements imposed on public offerings.
The amount of capital that can be raised through a private placement varies based on the specifics of the offering and the investor demand. At Financely, we typically facilitate capital raises ranging from $1 million to $100 million, depending on the project's needs and the structure of the offering.
Private placements often rely on exemptions from registration under the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regulations, particularly Regulation D (Rules 506(b) and 506(c)). These exemptions allow companies to raise capital without the need to register the securities with the SEC, provided they comply with certain conditions, such as limiting the offering to accredited investors and adhering to specific disclosure requirements.
Yes, a foreign company can raise capital in the U.S. through a private placement. This is often done through a Special Purpose Entity (SPE), which is a subsidiary or a separate legal entity created specifically to handle the offering. The SPE is structured to meet U.S. regulatory requirements, making it easier for foreign companies to access U.S. investors.
If you’re prepared to raise capital through a private placement and need a partner with the expertise to manage every detail, Financely is here to support you. Our placement agent services are designed to ensure that your capital-raising efforts are efficient, targeted, and successful.
