Wonderful guide to USA securities law (including crowdfunding topics)!

Whether you are raising money in regards to start-ups to middle market firms to nonprofits/NGOs to personal causes, knowing the law/ regulations and always meeting compliance requirements at both the federal and state level is obviously very important. Slain's introduction covers the critical knowledge you would need for a sound footing to proceed with your pursuit of capital via the most appropriate form. The content is also currently up-to-date with the latest best practices. I look forward to his other books on related topics.
