A9dx Holdings, LLC - Operations & Execution

Filing the Form C is a requirement for any company looking to raise capital by equity crowdfunding through Regulation CF. The Form C is the key element to a Small OPO and it is actually quite straightforward once you break it down and understand the purpose. 

StartEngine has integrated the information required to complete the Form C into our site, allowing you to answer questions about your company and ultimately populate the form required to file with the SEC. 

The Basics

What is the Form C? The Form C is the document that details your Small OPO offering. Think of the Form C as a tool for potential investors to evaluate and study the offering. Investors need to understand the background of your company, the risks that come along with investing in your company, and how you plan to use the money you raise. The Form C is filed (by StartEngine) on the SEC website before your campaign can go live.

How do I create the Form C? Fill out each tab in the on-boarding process and submit the campaign for StartEngine review. Once approved, our system will populate the Form C from the information you entered, and we will file it for you online with the SEC.

What should I do first? We suggest that you read this guide. You should also review current campaigns on StartEngine to learn more about how to complete the required information. We also suggest that you seek advice, as needed, from an attorney and accountant.

 

Overview of Best Practices Within Each Section of On-Boarding

The Basics tab

This should be straightforward, if you have a video, then write the entire transcript of what is said in the video.

The Story tab

Think of this as a simplified business plan. Investors want to understand what your company does and what your plans are for the future. Check out the many existing campaigns on StartEngine to learn more.

If you work with a company like CrowdCheck and have an official due diligence report, then you can link it within this section.

The Team Section

We offer details of exactly what to include, but remember that these bios need not be essays. A concise paragraph should do the trick. Remember to account for the past 3 years. You can even utilize information from LinkedIn.

The Legal tab

Risk Factors: This is one of the most important sections on the Form C. This section should be in depth enough so that potential investors fully understand the risks that come with investing in your company. Risks should be specific to your company and industry. Risks include:

Is your company operational yet? Is there a “going concern” paragraph in the audit opinion (if your financials are audited) or in your financial footnotes?

Do you only have one product?

Is the product or service new?

Do you have a very small team, or team members who have other responsibilities (like a full-time job)?

Is the company completely reliant on one person or a couple of people?

Is the company a “money pit”?

Competition

Are you dependent on another entity?

Who set the valuation of your company?

Rights of investors

Where is the money going?

Do you have unprotected intellectual property?

Everyone can be hacked

Projected financial data is frequently inaccurate.

The Financial Tab

Ownership and Capital Structure and Rights of the Securities: In this section you list all individuals that have voting power in your company. You need to briefly describe how these securities are different than those you are offering to potential investors. For example, the investors in your Small OPO may not have voting rights and there are restrictions on how the shares can be transferred.

Financial Statements, Financial Condition, Material Indebtedness: In this section you will provide a bit of context for your financial statements that are attached later in the Form C. You want to give investors an idea of how your company has performed in the past, how you might grow your company, or raise additional money in the future.

Recent Offering of Securities: This is the place to list any other securities offerings from the past 3 years. Examples include a previous Small OPO campaign or a Title II offering.

Valuation: If you have not established a formal valuation, you should say so! For example, “We have not undertaken any efforts to produce a valuation of the Company. The price of the shares merely reflects the opinion of the board as to what would be fair market value.” 

Use of Proceeds: In this section you are simply listing how you will spend the money received from your Small OPO. You should list exact numbers or percentages as investors find this sort of breakdown helpful.

Why do we ask about Irregular Use of Proceeds? We think investors should know if the majority of your proceeds will go to the CEO’s salary. This is not prohibited, but as you can imagine, investors will want to know about this.

Regulatory Information

Investors need to know if you have been involved in any indiscretions associated with a previous Small OPO.
