Raising Money From Private Investors

THE PRIVATE INVESTOR TOOLKIT

CAUTION FOR ENTREPRENEURS

On a daily basis we come across people who want to raise money from private investors, but insist that "I have a great business plan, I don't need to bother with a private placement and all of that stuff."

If you are one of those people, we strongly suggest that you keep reading.

There are several websites and "gurus"' out there that are leading people to believe that you can legally raise money from private individual (or "angel") investors without having to comply with or "worry about" SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission) regulations.

Those websites and gurus are wrong. And following their advice puts you in jeopardy of losing your business as well as possible fines and sanctions from the SEC and other serious legal consequences. There are specific rules that must be followed.

We cannot stress this enough: REGARDLESS OF WHAT YOU MAY READ OR HEAR TO THE CONTRARY - YOU MAY NOT LEGALLY APPROACH AND ASK PEOPLE TO INVEST IN YOUR BUSINESS WITHOUT FOLLOWING SEC REGULATIONS REGARDING THE SOLICITATION OF PRIVATE INVESTORS AND THE SALE OF PRIVATE SECURITIES.

Why take that chance when it is so easy to get the information and personal guidance that you need to do it the right way from the start?

If you think that you don't need to bother with properly preparing a private placement offering and solicit investors by following SEC rules and regulations, read what happened to one of many companies that thought the same way:

For Immediate Release: 04/18/2008
Commission Halts Unregistered Activity
By Progressive Energy Partners, LLC #4 and Progressive Energy Partners, LLC

Harrisburg, PA, 04/18/2008 - To halt the offer and sale of unregistered securities in Pennsylvania, the Pennsylvania Securities Commission issued a Summary Order to Cease and Desist against Progressive Energy Partners, LLC #4 (PEP 4) and Progressive Energy Partners, LLC (PEP), both entities with an address in Costa Mesa, California. PEP was the manager of PEP 4. PEP 4 was offering for sale limited liability company membership units (Units) in an oil and gas well project (Project).

In or about March 2008, a representative (Representative) of PEP cold-called at least one Pennsylvania resident (PA Resident) and offered the Units for sale. The Representative stated that the cost of a Unit is $25,000 and the minimum investment is one Unit; that the PA Resident could make $3,500 monthly on an investment in one Unit; and that the PA Resident would not be expected to do anything else other than send a check.

In or about March 2008, PEP 4 sent offering materials (Materials) to the PA Resident via FedEx. The Materials state that there are 72 Units available at a cost of $25,000 each, for a total of $1,800,000; that PEP 4 will use the investment proceeds to fund the Project which involves the drilling of two oil and/or gas wells in Pleasants, Tyler, and Ritchie Counties, West Virginia; and that PEP will have the exclusive authority to manage the affairs and operations PEP 4.

In or about March 2008, the Representative offered one of the Units for sale to the PA Resident for $25,000. The PA Resident had no substantive, pre-existing relationship with PEP 4 or PEP, or with the Representative. The PA Resident was not an accredited investor under Rule 501 of Regulation D, and did not have sufficient knowledge and experience in financial and business matters to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment.

The Materials failed to disclose that on January 12, 2007, the South Dakota Department of Revenue and Regulation, Division of Securities, issued a Cease and Desist Order against PEP as a result of the offer of unregistered securities in a similar oil and gas project, which is a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

The Commission ordered Progressive Energy Partners, LLC #4 and Progressive Energy Partners, LLC to stop offering or selling the Units in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, in violation of the Pennsylvania Securities Act of 1972, and in particular Sections 201 and 401 thereof.

Any further solicitations or sales made by these respondents in Pennsylvania will constitute violations of the 1972 Act and the Commission's Orders. Any person who is solicited by or has information about these respondents is asked to immediately notify the Pennsylvania Securities Commission by calling 800-600-0007, or, in Harrisburg: (717) 787-8062, in Pittsburgh: (412) 565-5083 or in Philadelphia: (215) 560-2088.
