The Form D Compliance Filing is the only filing document that is required by the Securities and Exchange Commission in Washington, DC. This 8 page document details information about the offering, the company, use of proceeds, and the principals of the company.
This is an "informational only" document and is not subject to a review or approval by the SEC. Selling securities to investors without filing this document could subject the company to fines by the SEC. Thus - the Form D is an integral part of raising capital properly and legally.
