Escrow service

The only escrow service built specifically for Regulation D offerings.

Is escrow required for Regulation D?

Yes, FINRA requires escrow for all contingent offerings. That means all offerings with a deadline or minimum, including all-or-nothing offerings. FINRA says a broker-dealer "may only deposit investors' funds in an escrow account". They go on to say: "The escrow account may not be controlled by the issuer, the broker-dealer or an attorney." The escrow account must be controlled independently.

Is escrow desirable on its own merit?

Yes, escrow makes offerings more successful. Specifically, escrow makes investing safer and easier for investors, and increases the odds of them investing. That obviously produces better outcomes for companies and their broker-dealers.
