Regulation CF, also known as “equity crowdfunding” is a type of offering similar to Regulation A+; allows raising funds from the public. Regulation CF allows the maximum of $1 million to be curated and companies wishing to invest must file with SEC (Security Exchange Commission) before participation.

Regulation A outlines two ‘tier” options when having the public invest in companies pre-IPO. Tier 1 is an offering of up to $20 million in a 12-month period, while Tier 2 allows $20 million in also a 12-month period.

Regulation A+ offering has the benefit of allowing more control over the company’s equity funding direction.
