The JOBS Act allows everyday people to invest at an early stage in a private company. This is something that you were not allowed to do until 2015. Before that, only the rich and well-connected could invest in an early-stage company like Armed Forces Brewing Company. The U.S. Congress passed the JOBS Act with bipartisan support and the President signed the bill in April of 2012. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) finalized the rules for “Regulation A” of the JOBS Act that went into effect on June 19, 2015. That made it legal for companies like Armed Forces Brewing Company to sell our stock online to the general public, and made it legal for anyone to invest in a company like ours, for the first time in 80 years.
