Equity crowd-funding a go in Saskatchewan
The Saskatchewan government's Financial and Consumer Affairs Authority has announced the launch of its Saskatchewan Equity Crowdfunding Exemption. The exemption allows Saskatchewan-based small businesses and start-ups to undertake two, six-month offerings of $150,000 each per year to investors who are also residents of the province. Investors are, in turn, limited to $1,500 per offering. The exemption is based on a proposal that was tabled for public feedback in October. Last week, the Ontario Securities Commission announced plans to publish proposals for new capital raising prospectus exemptions, which includes a crowd-funding exemption, in the first quarter of 2014.
