What is an offering memorandum?

An offering memorandum is a document that outlines the details of an investment opportunity. It is used to provide potential investors with insight into the risks, rewards, and other conditions of the investment. In Virginia, offering memorandums must meet certain requirements set by investment fraud law. These requirements ensure that investors are provided with all the necessary information to make an informed decision. The offering memorandum must provide the names of the promoters involved with the investment, the terms of the investment, the purpose of the funds, the use of proceeds, the risks associated with the investment, the compensation to be paid to promoters, and any additional fees or costs that may be associated with the investment. The offering memorandum also must contain a description of the offering’s compliance with Virginia law. This document is required to be filed with the state securities regulator, the Virginia State Corporation Commission, before the investment can be offered.
