Question
Kevin,
I read your answer in 5/2000 regarding selling stock to private investors in a start-up company (http://experts.about.com/q/1832/583299.htm).

You recommended preparing a SCOR or a D 504 or 5 or 6, and having the lawyers write up a private securities offering and file it with the state corporate commissioner.

My question is this, is it nessecary to file anything with the state if you are already in business?  

Please advise.


Answer
yes.

cause it takes you from doing a "hands out to friends
seeking $ UNOFFICIALLY"
--to doing it "by the book".

the SCOR might not need to be filed, but the others do.

ANOTHER way to get money for your biz, is to
buy it, expand, and also--use the equity in
others's real estate..........

find several fix up pieces with 25-60% equity in them
and extract the cash on obtaining the take out loan.

NOW you have more than one way to get $.

[and don't forget an ESOP if you have employees]

happy new year
