On March 18th 2014 the “Invest Indiana Crowdfunding Exemption” entered into effect. The bill, which was approved by the State in July 2014 as an emergency rule, aims at facilitating online investing in Indiana, at the same time providing an additional source of finance for local SMEs.


The regulation sets out the following:
  • Investors: any adult resident can invest up to $5,000 per offering and they have the right to cancel their investment until 48 hours prior to the deadline
  • Issuers: the companies selling securities to Indiana residents through online portals can raise up to $2 million. These businesses shall be registered with the State and their offering has to be open for investments at least twenty one days. They also need to comply with disclosure requirements, providing information and materials to the investors, such as the purpose(s) for which it they intend to use the proceedings.
  • Platforms: online investment portals shall register with Indiana Securities Division paying a registration fee of $100. The regulation also requires that the platforms keep a surety bond of minimum $50,000. The bond shall be in favor of the state and shall secure payment of costs, fines and damages to any person determined by the commissioner to be aggrieved by an Internet web site operator's violation. The portal operator shall be a US resident or alternatively a non resident which is approved as portal member by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). All these specifications are also valid for registered broker-dealers or investment advisors, with the exception of $100 registration fee which is waived in this case.
