Powering Commerce Through Efficient & Safe Capital Formation and Clean Capital Markets

State securities regulators have long played a role in facilitating capital formation at the state and local level by assisting companies seeking to raise capital with state securities laws issues.

From small businesses to entrepreneurs and larger companies, the work of NASAA’s members helps power the economy by providing regulatory frameworks for businesses — whether entrepreneurial, small or large — seeking to raise money. Doing so helps deliver stable, equitable and flourishing markets, and leads to jobs creation throughout North America.

As the closest securities regulator to local, small business issuers, NASAA members offer a level of accessibility unavailable from federal regulators. They provide a regulatory framework responsive to innovation while promoting a level playing field to protect issuers and investors alike.
