President Obama recently signed The JOBS Act , which purportedly will ease access to money for small businesses. The Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act bill is supposed to help entrepreneurs find investors through online “crowdfunding,” allowing all Americans to invest in new companies.

This bill also aims to reduce the red tape involved in publicly selling stock. The clock has begun ticking for the SEC to draft regulation to protect investors.

Reports indicate that the JOBS Act allows companies to raise up to $1 million a year from individual investors. The regulations are said to include protection for people who have an annual income or net worth under $100,000 wherein they can invest no more than $2,000 in a company that’s using crowdfunding.

An important consideration in using crowdfunding is that companies can find themselves having to answer to many shareholders that they have never met. They may then find themselves having to publicly reveal financial information and statements.

The good news is that small companies that don’t have a lot of close connections will now have another avenue to find investors.

Before you engage in crowdfunding thoroughly check out any intermediary broker or funding portal. You should make sure that the broker is registered with the SEC, for example. There will likely be a host of new funding portals popping up, some of which may or may not be reputable. Be sure to do your due diligence.

You should also consult with your attorney and tax advisor regarding legal and tax issues regarding your investors so that you know what to expect.

Just How Risky Is Entrepreneurship, Really? – Bruce Gibney and Ken Howery – Harvard Business Review

There are two views on entrepreneurship in America: the first (largely feigned), that it is a pure virtue like freedom of speech or religion, and the second (real) attitude that it is largely a game for the naïve. Steve Jobs, Mark Zuckerberg, and Michael Dell make fine fodder for commencement speeches, but when parents and career counselors thrust graduates into the job market, the default isn’t entrepreneurship, it’s corporate serfdom. Entrepreneurship is a deviation, an occupation for heroes, heroic for the reasons it can’t be recommended: it’s just too unsafe. But the conventional position is nonsense; building new companies is far more sensible than the practical will admit.

(Carson City, NV; May 11, 2011) – With mixed reports about the strength of the economic recovery in Nevada coming from a variety of sources, the latest statistics sourced to the Nevada Secretary of  State’s office show two consecutive quarters of significant growth in new business entity filings, suggesting new investments may be leading to business expansion. (See the full report here.)

As reported in the Quarterly Economic & Business Activity Report prepared by Applied Analysis, a Nevada-based research and analysis firm, new entity filings were up 12% in the first quarter of 2011 compared to the same period in 2010. The latest quarterly growth followed the preceding quarter’s positive performance, which was the first since mid-2006.

“I’m as optimistic as I’ve ever been that Nevada has broken through the restraints of the worst recession in decades and is now moving steadily toward economic recovery,” Secretary of State Ross Miller said after reviewing the analysis. “Nevada has a history of incredible resilience, and I’m confident that history will repeat itself. While I don’t think anyone expects to quickly rebound to record-breaking growth, I believe the latest numbers from my office  indicate that more people will find work in the coming months and that we all can look forward to greater economic stability.”
