“I encourage entrepreneurs who want to know more about starting their own business to participate in the webinars and seminars,” said Licensing and Regulatory Affairs Chief Deputy Director Shelly Edgerton. “Featured experts will be providing a wide range of important information that will greatly benefit new startups.”
The Understanding Your Options for Raising Capital in Michigan seminars will cover topics including: the new federal crowdfunding rules, Michigan intrastate crowdfunding; legal and structural basics: key formation and other often overlooked issues; private offerings using Reg D and intrastate exemptions; crafting a winning investor pitch; venture capital; long-term planning for a potential IPO; and protecting yourself from arbitration, civil litigation and potential criminal liability. Each webinar will cover a different topic from the seminars.
The webinars will be held on Wednesdays from 12:00 P.M. to 1:00 P.M. on the following dates and will cover the following topics:
April 13, 2016 Legal and Structural Basics: Key Formation and Often Overlooked Issues
April 27, 2016 Funding Your New Company
May 11, 2016 How to Stay Out of Trouble While Raising Money

Edgerton emphasized that entrepreneurial development is key to revitalizing Michigan’s economy that entrepreneurial firms have different financing needs and capital formation can often be a significant impediment to aspiring entrepreneurs.
She said providing entrepreneurship education, along with LARA’s work on streamlining the state’s regulatory and licensing environments are necessary to creating an environment that encourages entrepreneurial growth.
“We held a couple of these seminars last fall where large audiences gave rave reviews,” said CSCL Acting Director Julia Dale. “Participants commented on how the seminars greatly exceeded their expectations, the speakers were fantastic, and that they provided “a great overture of so many funding choices.’”
The events are being offered by the Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs and the Corporations, Securities & Commercial Licensing Bureau in partnership with the Michigan Economic Development Corporation, the Small Business Association of Michigan, and the Michigan - National Federation of Independent Business.
There will be no charge for parking or admission to the seminars. Facilities hosting the seminars are accessible to people with disabilities.
