Small Business Council Success Series: Crowdfunding and capital raising for your business in the private placement market
Peter Brady
Larissa Streu
Small businesses create jobs and make a significant contribution to BC’s economy. They need money to start, maintain, and grow their operations. A large portion of small business funding comes from entrepreneurs themselves and traditional funding sources such as bank loans. At some point, however, many businesses will turn to private investors.
As the government agency responsible for regulating capital raising, securities trading, and investor protection in BC, the BC Securities Commission wants to help small businesses understand how to raise money in a timely and efficient way and avoid unintended compliance problems.
The presentation will:
- Clarify how raising money from private investors differs from raising money in public markets
- Detail when securities laws apply to your business and what they are
- Explain how securities laws facilitate efficient and timely financings
- Walk you through a case study
- Point you to useful resources
Speakers will include Peter Brady, Director, Corporate Finance, BC Securities Commission and Larissa Streu, Senior Legal Counsel BC Securities Commission.
A light breakfast will be provided. If you have any difficulties registering online or if you have any questions about the SBC Program, please contact sbc@boardoftrade.com
