The SEC<\/a> has been monitoring Reg D offerings to gain a better understanding of who is involved and the types of transactions.\u00a0 They monitored offerings from 2009 to 2012 and found that the Reg D capital market is large and growing.\u00a0 In 2011, $863 billion was reportedly raised under the Reg D exemption.\u00a0 In 2012 that number grew to $903 billion.\u00a0 When including number from 2009 and 2010 the amount of capital raised under Reg D is staggering.\u00a0 From 2009 to 2012, Hedge Funds raised $1.3 trillion, private equity funds raised $489 billion, and non-financial issuers raised $354 billion.\u00a0 The SEC estimates that these numbers only represent 63% of the total capital raised.<\/p>\n

These numbers are impressive and show the clear need for capital outside of lending and the IPO market.\u00a0 Due to a tight credit climate many businesses have turned to private offerings instead of securing the debt they would traditionally get from a bank.\u00a0 This is excellent news for investors as it provides the opportunity to invest in established companies that would otherwise be unavailable.<\/p>\n

What is most impressive is that $354 billion was raised from non financial institutions.\u00a0 That money went to small and mid-size businesses, entrepreneurs, and deal makers that had a vision and raised capital.\u00a0 Entrepreneurs should be excited by these numbers as they show a clear path towards opportunity.\u00a0 With the SEC lifting the ban on general solicitation under Rule 506c, business owners have more opportunity than ever to raise the capital they require.<\/p>\n
