The investor presentation is ready. Is the offering?
You want to circulate the deck, announce the raise, and take commitments. Before doing that, the company needs a clear view of its offering route and the conditions that come with it.
We help connect the intended investors, communications, disclosures, and transaction documents. Those pieces should describe the same investment and support the same legal approach.

An exemption has conditions.
Private offerings are not all conducted the same way. For example:
Rule 506(b) prohibits general solicitation or advertising to market the securities. SEC guidance.
Rule 506(c) permits general solicitation if its conditions are met, including sales only to accredited investors and reasonable steps to verify that status. SEC guidance.
Notice filings can remain necessary. Federal Form D and applicable state notices are part of the offering review; an exemption does not mean every filing disappears. SEC Form D guidance and California DFPI capital-raising guidance.
These are examples, not a choice to make from a checklist. We assess the proposed raise and explain the route and responsibilities in the context of the company’s plans.

What the work can produce
Depending on scope, the engagement may include:
An analysis of the proposed offering structure and exemption.
Offering, subscription, and investor-rights documents.
Investor questionnaires and a defined verification process where required.
Company approvals and closing documentation.
An agreed filing list with responsibilities and relevant dates.
A summary of continuing commitments to investors.
The result should help the people running the raise understand what is ready, what remains open, and which communications or commitments need attention before they proceed.
