Form D
While companies using an exemption under Regulation D do not have to register their securities and usually do not have to file reports with the SEC, they must file what’s known as a "Form D" after they first sell their securities. Form D is a brief notice that includes the names and addresses of the company’s executive officers and stock promoters, but contains little other information about the company.
To find out whether a company has filed a Form D, you should access EDGAR Company Search. If the company has filed a Form D, you can request a copy.
If the company has not filed a Form D, this should alert you that the company might not be in compliance with the federal securities laws
