What is an offering memorandum?

An offering memorandum is a document containing financial, legal, and other information about an investment opportunity. It is used by investors to help them decide whether or not to invest in a particular investment. In Washington, offering memorandums are often required by state and federal laws, like the Investment Fraud Law to provide investors with key information about their investment. An offering memorandum typically contains information about the company or product being offered for sale, the terms of the investment, the risks associated with the investment, the costs associated with the investment, and the company’s proposed management structure. In some cases, the offering memorandum may also include financial projections of future returns. In addition, the memorandum will also include information about who is involved in the sale of the investment, such as a broker or registered investment advisor, so investors can research their background and qualifications. By reading an offering memorandum, investors can make an informed and educated decision about whether to invest in a particular investment.
