506B vs 506C? Which one is best for you?
Send us a textNavigating the regulatory maze of investment fund compliance doesn't have to be overwhelming. In this eye-opening breakdown, I tackle one of the most confusing aspects of raising capital: understanding the critical differences between 506B and 506C offerings.Think of 506B as a private dinner party – you're limited to raising from people you know, with no public advertising allowed. While you can include up to 35 non-accredited investors alongside unlimited accredited ones, you're relying solely on pre-existing relationships. The benefit? A simpler process with less verification hassle. The downside? Severely restricted marketing reach.
