Mezzanine financing named for its place in the capital structure, is a hybrid of debt and equity financing. Lender gives you a loan and if everything works out the company simply pays to loan back under already fixed terms. The truth is that large percent of new businesses fail so lender has the right to convert their loan into an ownership percentage or equity interest. This allows lender to have a claim to any future profit and protect himself in case of default. On the other hand mezzanine capital enables owner to keep full ownership as long as business is lucrative. It can also be used to persuade reluctant investor who sees your venture as a high risk by offering him mezzanine arrangement. If business fails to pay the loan lender is generally paid after venture capital companies and senior lenders are paid. Mezzanine financing is also offered to business with established reputation and products and history of profitability where process is completed with little due dilige...

Regulation A will soon be available for publicly reporting companies. On May 24, 2018, President Trump signed the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief and Consumer Protection Act (the “Act”) into law. Although the Act largely focuses on the banking industry and is being called the Dodd-Frank Rollback Act by many, it also contained much-needed provisions amending Regulation A+ and Rule 701 of the Securities Act. The Act also amends Section 3(c)(1) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 to create a new category of pooled fund called a “qualifying venture capital fund,” which is a fund with less than $10,000,000 in aggregate capital contributions. A qualifying venture capital fund is exempt from the registration requirements under the 1940 Act as long as it has fewer than 250 investors. Section 3(c)(1) previously only exempted funds with fewer than 100 investors. The amendment is effective immediately and does not require rule making  by the SEC, al...
