Regulation D

Regulation D is a set of rules established by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) that allows companies to raise capital by selling securities without having to register them, which can be a lengthy and expensive process. It includes exemptions that enable businesses to offer shares to certain types of investors, primarily accredited investors—those with significant financial experience or wealth. Regulation D aims to facilitate investment opportunities while still providing some investor protections. By using these exemptions, companies can access funding more quickly and efficiently.
