gerson cevallos New User	posted 03-01-2008 07:42 AM I could get my hands on some funding money, I am new to this but i have been reading on what i would be if i would get some investers to front some money for start up money. I would be an investment advisor correct? What would be the best thing for me to do in this position. I do not want to take any money if its not done the right way. Do i have to register with the state and how? Can i find some one that is registered and dba from him.... ? If my office is located over seas and i am getting investores from the united states,can i still be exempt from registering? please help [This message has been edited by gerson cevallos (edited 03-01-2008).] IP: Logged

The registration requirements depend on what you are going to do with the money. If you are going to invest it for your investors, you will either be an investment advisor or a broker, depending on the details. You may or may not be exempt from registration, depending on the details. If you are raising the money for investment in a business then you are not an investment advisor or a broker, but will have other obligations, as the investment is the purchase of a security, with its own disclosure requirements. If you can be more specific in what you are seeking to do, you might get some better answers. ------------------ This message is general information only, and is not intended as legal advice.

Based on the facts given here, it looks like you would not be an investment advisor, but rather you would be conducting a private placement or a public offering. To be certain, you will need to retain a securities attorney to assist you with any of these avenues. Do not take any money, or action, until you review this with an attorney who can give you advice based on your unique set of circumstances. ------------------ This message is general information only, and is not intended as legal advice.
