Handle your SEC Form D filings the easy way. Colonial Filings takes the complexity out of Regulation D compliance so you don’t have to navigate it alone.
About Form D Filings
What are Form D Filings?
Form D filings are mandatory EDGAR filings required by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for companies that sell securities without registering under the Securities Act of 1933. This typically applies to exemptions under Rule 504, Rule 506 of Regulation D, or Section 4(6). These exemptions are commonly used in Reg D offerings for private placements.
When do issuers need to file Form D?
Issuers must file an official SEC Form D within 15 days after the first sale of securities in the offering. The “first sale” refers to the date when the first investor becomes contractually committed to invest. If this deadline falls on a weekend or SEC holiday, it is automatically extended to the next business day. To view the official SEC rule, click here.
How are Form D filings submitted?
As of March 16, 2009, the SEC requires all Regulation D filings to be converted into EDGAR formats and filed through the SEC EDGAR system.
Who Needs to File Form D?
Form D filings are required for a wide range of exempt securities offerings. You may need to file if you are:
- A startup raising funds from accredited investors under Rule 506(b)
- A real estate syndicate conducting a private placement under Rule 506(c)
- A private equity fund relying on a Reg D exemption
- A venture-backed company issuing preferred shares in a SAFE or convertible note offering
- Any issuer claiming a Rule 504 or Rule 506 exemption
When Are Amendments to Form D Required?
Even after the initial submission, your Form D may require updates. The SEC mandates amendments in these cases:
- Material Error: Correcting factual inaccuracies from the initial filing.
- Change in Information: Updating offering terms, issuer details, or investor disclosures.
- Annual Update: Required if the offering is still active on the anniversary of the prior filing.
We support both initial and amended Form D filings, ensuring you remain in full compliance.
