Speaking primarily of Regulation A and Regulation CF, most offerings I see fall into one of these three categories:

  • Equity – Simply put, offering equity in the business in exchange for the investment.
  • Debt – Where the investor is not getting any actual equity, but rather providing capital that the company will pay back at a later date with some sort of interest or gain for the investor.
  • Hybrid – Here you’ll see combinations of various offering structures used. For example, an issuer that is offering equity, but also proving a dividend on top of the equity.
The key for Reg A and Reg CF, which largely target non-accredited retail investors – issuers need to keep their offering structure simple and easy to understand for investors of all experience levels. I typically recommend that issuers avoid utilizing any more complicated instruments (i.e. convertible notes) as they can quickly confuse prospective investors.
Regulation D allows for slightly more complexity to be involved in the offering structure as you’re typically dealing with more sophisticated investors who will have a better understanding of more complex instruments (i.e. incorporating stock warrants into the offering structure)
