Regulation D Exemption

Regulation D Exemption is a set of rules by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission that allows companies to raise funds privately without going through the full registration process required for public offerings. It provides certain "safe harbor" provisions, mainly through specific rules (like Rules 506 and 504), enabling companies to sell securities to accredited or a limited number of investors. This makes raising capital more flexible and efficient for private companies, while still offering some investor protections tailored to less public offerings.
