Raising Capital with Regulation D
Article Abstract:
The Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC) Regulation D will allow small business owners to issue securities without registering with the SEC. Securities can be offered in several different ways, although they are all restricted securities and must be held by the investor for a minimum of two years before they can be resold. The SEC allows more flexibility to purchasers who are 'accredited' investors. Although a small business does not have to register with SEC, it must notify them of its offering and keep them informed on its status. This is a good source for individuals to take investment risks on a informal basis.

A capital idea
Article Abstract:
American corporations can raise capital from foreign investors through the US Investor Visa Program. The program, which Congress started in 1991, aims to attract foreign investments in the US by granting visas to 10,000 foreigners and their families who invest at least $1 million each. The Immigration and Naturalization Service requires that foreign investments should produce 10 new jobs or raise a company's net worth by 140%. Foreign investors should also participate in making company policies even if they are not involved in everyday operations.
