SECURITIES LAW ISSUES

A thorough discussion of federal and state securities laws is beyond the scope of this guide. Some common issues are: (1) registration, (2) notices and (3) disclosure.

Registration
The sale of small amounts of stock to intrastate shareholders is usually exempt from state and federal registration requirements. Never rely on this general rule without doing specific research first!

Notices
Mark the back of any stock certificates with notices which may apply to the shares.

Disclosure
Even if a registration exemption applies, federal securities laws require full disclosure of any material facts in a securities transaction.
