midmarketplace_ on 05 Nov 15Equity crowdfunding could be the great equalizer for entrepreneurs and small businesses by allowing them to bypass the banks who will not lend to them, the venture capitalists who want to take advantage of them and wealthy Wall Street types who ignore them. But the law itself and the SEC rules just released will make the law unworkable for some small businesses because of the costs involved, and the restrictions on marketing imposed.

In the meantime, there is always equity crowdfunding's prettier sister out there, the Regulation A+ Mini-IPO.
