Since the signing of the Jobs Act on April 5th, demands for information and clarity on issuer compliance rules has skyrocketed. Entrepreneurs and startups want to know what steps they should be taking now to successfully launch a compliant crowdfund investing campaign. The launch of http://www.crowdfundingroadmap.com is the perfect place to get quick answers and easy solutions to help them get started now.
"After working with Startup Exemption’s Sherwood Neiss, Jason Best, Zak Cassady and many others to help get the Jobs Act passed, and after seeing the final disclosure requirements that were written into the law for the issuers, it was clear that most people would not be able to do this entirely on their own and would need help," said Ruth Hedges CEO and creator of the Funding Roadmap and CrowdfundingRoadmap. “Since crowdfund investing is a major change in the way startup capital is raised and the rate at which companies are launched and expanded, it's vital that we start raising awareness now and begin to prepare entrepreneurs ahead of time.
I realized that many may need to become incorporated, they may need assistance from an accountant (since the bill requires certified and audited financial statements for different levels of fund raising), and they would definitely all need to begin to create the lengthily materiel spelled out in the bill in a easy and inexpensive way. Our Funding Roadmap business plan and due diligence reporting system on the cloud is the perfect solution. A partnership between Funding Roadmap, Laughlin Associates, and 1-800 Accountant was created and http://crowdfundingroadmap.com was born."
Setting a goal of one million compliant entrepreneurs.
"It's important to understand we're already heading toward the 3rd month of the 270 day SEC rule-making period, and that January 2013 will come quicker than we might think.” says Hedges. If the proponents and legislators who passed this bill want the launch of crowdfund investing next year to be successful, we all need to set a goal to prepare at least 1 million entrepreneurs for legalized crowdfunding by early 2013.” says Hedges. “If we reach that goal then we’ll have a pipeline of issuers to fill the growing list of intermediaries and funding portals emerging across the internet -and a larger percentage of them will get funded when the ground swell of excitement appears from investors looking for innovative companies to invest in. It's imperative that we start raising awareness and education to make sure that entrepreneurs are prepared ahead of time."
Even though Implementation of Crowdfund Investing will not be legal to start until January 2013, time is of the essence. The team at CrowdfundingRoadmap is proud to offer a one-stop resource center to get started and are urging entrepreneurs to begin preparing for this right away.

We've spent years perfecting our software, worked tirelessly to ensure the highest levels of transparency, disclosure & simplicity in our cloud-based reporting system -and at an unbelievable price.”
“With crowdfunding still in its infancy, it's critical that entrepreneurs know who & where to turn to for answers in this emerging industry. At this time they may not even be aware of the urgency or what will be required by them come early 2013 so the message and solutions needs to start spreading now." said Hedges
