FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about OfferingPro and SEC exempt offerings.
What does OfferingPro actually produce?
A fully formatted, EDGAR-ready draft of your SEC exempt offering document — Form 1-A for Regulation A+, Form C for Regulation CF, Form D for Regulation D, or a complete subscription agreement package for Regulation S. Every required field, section, and legal certification is included. The document is ready for your attorney to review — not a template with blanks to fill in.
Is OfferingPro legal advice?
No. OfferingPro generates drafts for legal review. We strongly recommend having a qualified securities attorney review your documents before submission to the SEC. What we eliminate is the blank page — your attorney gets a complete, well-organized draft to review instead of starting from scratch.
How much does OfferingPro cost?
Pricing varies by offering type. You can start for free and complete your entire wizard at no cost. You only pay when you're ready to download your document. Contact us at support@offeringpro.com for current pricing.
What is Regulation A+ and who can use it?
Regulation A+ lets companies raise up to $75M from the general public without a full IPO registration. Tier 1 allows up to $20M with no ongoing SEC reporting. Tier 2 allows up to $75M but requires audited financials and ongoing annual and semiannual SEC reports. Both tiers use Form 1-A. The issuer must be a US or Canadian company and cannot be an investment company.
What is Regulation CF and how does it work?
Regulation CF (Reg CF) allows equity crowdfunding raises up to $5M from both accredited and non-accredited investors. The offering must be conducted through a FINRA-registered broker-dealer or funding portal. Form C is filed with the SEC before the offering launches. OfferingPro generates a complete Form C draft covering all 31 required questions.
What is Regulation D and what are the different rules?
Regulation D is the most common private placement exemption. Rule 506(b) allows unlimited raises from up to 35 non-accredited sophisticated investors plus unlimited accredited investors, with no general solicitation permitted. Rule 506(c) allows unlimited raises from accredited investors only, with general solicitation and advertising permitted if you verify accreditation status. Rule 504 allows raises up to $10M. OfferingPro supports all three rules.
What is Regulation S and when should I use it?
Regulation S provides a safe harbor for offers and sales of securities made entirely outside the United States to non-US persons. No SEC registration is required. OfferingPro generates a complete subscription and investor representation agreement with all 18 required Reg S investor representations under Section 3.1 and all company warranties under Section 4.1.
Do I need to file with the SEC myself after using OfferingPro?
OfferingPro generates EDGAR-ready drafts, but the actual filing is done through EDGAR by you or your legal team. We handle document creation — the submission process is handled by your attorney or directly through the SEC's EDGAR system at efts.sec.gov.
Can I edit the document after it's generated?
Yes. Your generated document is a draft for your attorney to review and edit. You can also return to the wizard, update your information, and regenerate at any time at no additional cost.
What if I haven't completed every section of the wizard?
You can generate a draft at any stage of completion. Any fields you haven't filled in will appear as [TO BE COMPLETED] placeholders in the document, so your attorney knows exactly what still needs to be addressed before filing.
How does the pay-at-download model work?
You can create an account, start a new offering, and complete the entire wizard completely free. You only pay when you click download to receive your completed document package. There are no subscriptions, no monthly fees, and no charges for using the wizard or generating drafts.
