Reg CF Blue Sky Filing Fees by State
Although Regulation Crowdfunding is federally regulated, many states still require Blue Sky notice filings. If you plan to sell to residents in a given state, we can help file the state filings on your behalf.
Here is what will trigger a Reg CF filing in the states:
- A Blue Sky notice filing may be required in your state of incorporation.
- A filing may also be required in any jurisdiction where 50% or more of the investors in your Reg CF offering reside once the offering has closed.
*Because state requirements change frequently, always confirm current obligations with your legal counsel or a securities professional.
When Do States Require Notice Filings for Reg CF?
Most states require a notice filing within 15 days of the first sale to a resident of that state. A few key deadlines are tied to the launch date, and a small number expect notice before any sales occur. Several jurisdictions also expect issuers to file updates when Form C changes, renew authority if the campaign runs longer than a set period, and, in limited cases, submit sales or closing reports. The safest approach is to track each target state by its trigger event, the fee owed, the submission method, and any renewal date, then keep confirmations on file for examiner requests.
Typical Reg CF state filing package includes:
- Copy of Form C and/or Uniform Notice
- Signed Form U-2 (Consent to Service of Process)
- State filing fee
- Any state-specific cover or other required forms
