CINCINNATI—85 Broads Cincinnati will host a Jam Session with Candace Klein, Founder and CEO of SoMoLend, the pioneering alternative online borrowing platform focused on the social, mobile, and local aspects of the loan market. Klein will discuss what women need to know about the JOBS Act and why it is important on Friday, June 22, at noon EDT. Register for the online event here.
On April 5, 2012, President Obama signed into law the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (JOBS Act), which, among other things, opens two new significant access points to capital for small business owners.
First, as soon as July 5, 2012, any business owner in the United States will now be permitted to "solicit" investors in any method or manner they choose, so long as the ultimate investor in their business is "accredited." Second, a new "Crowdfunding Exemption" will take effect as early as January, 2013, which will allow small business owners to solicit up to $1 million from individuals, irrespective of income level, for investment in their company, but must do so through the use of a crowdfunding "portal."
The SoMo website is currently live, and small business borrowers nationwide are encouraged to sign up today. To learn more, visit https://www.somolend.com/, or http://www.facebook.com/SoMoLend.
