Capital raising the easy way - introduction to structured capital raising and legal risk mitigation strategies

Introduction to a structured raising capital raising process

Whilst the ASX is for large scale offerings you can use an ASSOB accredited Sponsor for small scale offerings.

This seminar will explain how an ASSOB accredited Sponsor shapes and structures capital raising to the benefit of company owners and investors and will go through an example from the audience.

Legal aspects of raising capital in Australia

The general rule is that you can't raise capital without a prospectus. Chapter 6D of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) (Act), known as the "fundraising provisions" regulates the way in which capital can be raised in Australia.

The small scale offering exception also known as the ‘The 20/12 rule’ is reflected in section 708(1) of the Act. This provision was introduced to

‘…facilitate raising investment capital and to reduce the high fundraising costs faced by Australian companies’. It provides that a disclosure document is not required if a person makes a personal offer of securities that results in securities being issued or transferred to 20 or fewer persons with no more than $2 million being raised in any rolling 12 month period.

This seminar will also provide an introduction to the 20/12 rule and how to avoid touting when raising capital in Australia.
