JOBS Act: New Access to Start-up Funding

The idea of owning your own business has a lot of appeal. Many of us are drawn to the flexibility of our own hours, the opportunity to focus on what we’re passionate about and the potential for success with practically no limitations. There are other fundamental aspects of entrepreneurship however, and one of the most critical is the need to raise the money to make everything happen.

Recently the JOBS Act (also known as Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act) was passed to make it easier for smaller start-up companies to raise capital. Notably this act authorizes “crowdfunding” which enables companies to solicit broadly for investment capital in new and exciting ways. This is potentially game changing for small businesses. The benefits may be significant however, as is always the case, the risks will also need to be considered.

Priya also explores what the potential liability ramifications of the JOBS Act may be.
