It is, in effect, a new type of IPO but with much less regulation and cost. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eRegulation A+: How the JOBS Act Creates Opportunities for Entrepreneurs and Investors\u003c\/em\u003e spells out new processes that can and will have a dramatic impact on how companies obtain growth capital to create new jobs and bolster returns for investors. Some financial gurus believe that the new law, dubbed Regulation A+ due to the enhancements, will usher in a revolutionary period of growth and innovation comparable to our largest past economic expansions. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo date, much of the commentary on the JOBS Act has focused on Title III, which allows broader use of crowdfunding to raise up to $1 million per year. However, many entrepreneurs and economists believe that new changes to Regulation A will have a much greater impact on innovation and job creation. The best part? Regulation A+ lifts many constraints on soliciting funds and trading new stock issues.
