Surfview Entertainment strives to assure the SEC that producers are aware of the law in regard to advertising for active investors.
Producers who have a listing in "Projects Seeking Active Investors" must only be advertising "Business Plan Available To Active Investors". When a potential investor responds, only something resembling a business plan may be forwarded, (i.e., no private placement offerings!).
The SEC insists that producers know the distinction between an "active investor" and a "passive investor".Surfview Entertainment will not be liable for and does not offer legal advice. It is strongly suggested that you contact a knowledgable entertainment finance attorney early.
A knowledgable entertainment finance attorney should be familiar with the following.
Active Investor (Nonsecurities) Vehicles.The Self-funded Sole Proprietorship Business Plans The Investor-Financing Agreement Joint-Venture Financing The Initial Incorporation
Should your search for a few active investors be unsuccessful, (there being too many potential participants needed for full funding), your knowledgable entertainment finance attorney should be familiar with the following.
