Nevada securities markets can provide an excellent source of capital for small business. Raising capital through a public offering can help with an expansion or the launch of a new business. In Nevada, there are three ways to accomplish this: registration by filing; registration in coordination with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC); and in intrastate registration by qualification. While accessing that capital requires compliance with applicable securities laws, the Nevada Secretary of State, Securities Division is committed to helping legitimate businesses, after they have consulted with their own attorney and accountant, chart an appropriate course in gaining access to public capital.
