Using Finders to Assist in Financings: Understanding the Risks Associated with Unregistered Broker-Dealers
For early-stage companies in need of capital, finding potential investors can be difficult and time-consuming, especially when conditions in the capital markets are tight. For many companies, using a “finder,” an individual or entity that identifies, introduces and negotiates with potential investors, to help locate potential investors may seem promising.
Companies should be aware, however, that there are risks involved in using finders, including risks arising from potential violations of the SEC’s broker-dealer registration requirements. These risks are significant and, as investors become increasingly wary of the potential consequences, could threaten a company’s ability to raise capital in the future and its prospects for long-term growth and success.
