Bridge Financing Solutions for Companies Awaiting Reg A Qualification

Navigating the journey of a Regulation A (Reg A) offering is an exciting time for a growing company. It's a step toward scaling operations, reaching new investors, and securing the capital needed for expansion. But, as with all major steps, it comes with a waiting period: after filing a Form 1-A, companies must wait for SEC qualification before they can officially raise funds from investors.

For companies ready to scale but waiting for their offering to go live, this waiting period can feel like a stall in momentum. Here at Akron Capital, we understand the importance of staying on track. Our tailored financing solutions can provide the bridge capital needed to support your goals while you await qualification.

The SEC Qualification Process: A Quick Recap

After filing Form 1-A, companies often wait 60 to 90 days for SEC qualification, and sometimes even longer depending on comments, during which the SEC reviews and may request amendments to the filing. This process is essential for ensuring transparency and compliance, but it can also lead to a pause in growth activities if your company relies solely on the upcoming Reg A funds.

The Impact of Waiting on Growth Initiatives

Without access to capital during the waiting period, companies might face challenges such as:

• Pausing hiring for crucial roles.

• Delaying R&D for new product launches.

• Scaling down marketing and sales initiatives that are essential for capturing market share.

• Investments in essential equipment, technology, or facilities can be delayed, which may impact production capacity and efficiency.

• Expansion opportunities to enter new markets or scale operations may be postponed.
