      abstract = {Discover how to raise money under new provisions in the  recently enacted JOBS Act. Regulation A+: How the JOBS Act  Creates Opportunities for Entrepreneurs and Investors will  guide and advise executives of emerging growth companies,  entrepreneurs, financial advisers, venture capitalists,  investment bankers, securities lawyers, finance and MBA  students, and others on how to raise up to $50 million a  year through streamlined regulations. Signed by President  Obama on April 5, 2012, Title IV of the JOBS Act amends the  1930s-era Regulation A, making it far easier for businesses  to raise growth capital through public offerings. It is, in  effect, a new type of IPO but with much less regulation and  cost. Regulation A+: How the JOBS Act Creates Opportunities  for Entrepreneurs and Investors spells out new processes  that can and will have a dramatic impact on how companies  obtain growth capital to create new jobs and bolster  returns for investors. Some financial gurus believe that  the new law, dubbed Regulation A+ due to the enhancements,  will usher in a revolutionary period of growth and  innovation comparable to our largest past economic  expansions. To date, much of the commentary on the JOBS Act  has focused on Title III, which allows broader use of  crowdfunding to raise up to $1 million per year. However,  many entrepreneurs and economists believe that new changes  to Regulation A will have a much greater impact on  innovation and job creation. The best part? Regulation A+  lifts many constraints on soliciting funds and trading new  stock issues. Among other things, readers of this book will  learn how to take advantage of these provisions: Regulation  A+ permits companies to raise up to $50 million, a tenfold  increase over the old limit of $5 million, and much more  than the crowdfunding provisions of the JOBS Act ($1  million). Regulation A+ allows companies to market IPOs to  more people than just accredited investors and makes it  easier to get the word out on offerings. Regulation A+  allows certain companies to avoid the SEC periodic  reporting regimen (Form 10-K, Form 10-Q, Form 8-K, and  proxy statements), provided that the number of shareholders  is kept below revised thresholds. Regulation A+ exempts  certain companies from many onerous and costly compliance  requirements, including Sarbanes-Oxley. In short,  Regulation A+ greatly simplifies the capital-raising  process, making it easier to grow companies, create jobs,  and reward investors.},
