Demystifying Securities with Anessa Santos

In this course you learn how to successfully prepare your offering. Learn the difference between the most common exempt offering vehicles including regulations 4(a)(2), A/A+, CF, D & S, and how to know which one is best for your business. Receive specific instruction regarding SEC requirements, disclosures, financial statements and more. There will be time for Q&A.
