Reg CF or Regulation Crowdfunding, allows companies to offer and sell up to $5 million of their securities without having to register the offering with the SEC. Crowdfunding refers to a financing method in which money is raised through soliciting relatively small individual investments or contributions from a large number of people. With Regulation Crowdfunding, the general public now has the opportunity to participate in the early capital raising activities of start-up and early-stage businesses.
