NORMAN — The bipartisan Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act or JOBS Act signed into law by President Barack Obama on April 5 is intended to encourage funding of small businesses by easing some securities regulations.
The JOBS Act includes legislation which affects how small start-up businesses raise capital. One section of the law removed restrictions imposed by the Securities and Exchange Commission on crowdfunding. Entrepreneurs can raise up to $1 million from investors before having to register with the SEC. It also allows small businesses to use advertisements to solicit investors which was previously disallowed.
