Regulation A+ Transfer Agent Services

Regulation A (Reg A+) allows companies to raise capital from both accredited and unaccredited investors with free-trading shares. Our Reg A+ transfer agent services help companies better manage shareholders from these and earlier offerings. New funding limits of $20M for Tier I and $75M for Tier II allow companies to offer and sell more unrestricted and freely transferable securities, allowing for immediate secondary trading. Smaller companies gaining more means to capital is beneficial for small business growth. Reg A+ is a crucial step forward in allowing smaller companies access to more capital by raising the funding limits.

The SEC mandates that any issuers conducting a Tier II offering under the Reg A+ rules must engage the services of a stock transfer agent. The transfer agent must be registered with the SEC as outlined in Section 17A of the Exchange Act.

    • Form 1-A: Reg A Offering Statement
    • Form 1-A POS: Post-qualification amendment
    • Form 1-A-W: Withdrawal of offering statement
    • Form 1-K: Annual Report
    • Form 1-SA: Semiannual Report
    • Form 1-U: Current Report
    • Form 1-Z: Exit Report
    • Form 1-Z/W: Withdrawal of Exit Report
  • Blue Sky Compliance: One of the biggest debates over the new rules of Regulation A+ was over whether these new regulations were subject to state Blue Sky Laws. Eventually a compromise was reached, and adherence to Blue Sky Laws is required under Tier 1 of Regulation A+. However, offerings made under Tier 2 of Regulation A+ don't require adherence to Blue Sky Laws. If you're conducting offerings under Tier 1, we can ensure Blue Sky compliance.

If you're thinking about using Regulation A+ to raise capital, look no further than Colonial Stock Transfer.
