Experienced Securities Regulatory Lawyer Kevin Carreno Announces Opening Of Fund Hub Securities Compliance Business
Tampa, FL (PRWEB) January 28, 2014 -- Experienced securities regulatory attorney Kevin Carreno, a member of the FINRA Board of Governors, has joined with nationally-recognized crowdfunding expert Kendall Almerico and Hispanic securities lawyer George Guerra to open http://www.FundHub.biz, a website offering affordable compliance services to Regulation D investors, issuers and broker-dealers. Fund Hub will expand into compliance services for JOBS Act equity crowdfunding investors, businesses and broker-dealers as those laws go into effect.
“With Fund Hub, we make the new compliance and due diligence requirements from the SEC affordable for everyone involved in the funding process,” Carreno says. “We will help people start and grow their businesses and will do our part to heal the American economy.”
Fund Hub is intended to provide user-friendly, easy to understand and affordable compliance services for businesses raising funds and investors who are providing them. As the JOBS Act rules become law, and equity crowdfunding is legalized, Fund Hub will also provide services in that market.
“There is a wide-spread thought amongst broker-dealers that they do not want to get into the JOBS Act equity crowdfunding space due to the risks and expenses,” Carreno says. “With Fund Hub, we will make equity crowdfunding affordable and profitable for broker-dealers, and help small issuers raise funds through this new opportunity.”
For more information or for media inquiries or interviews, contact Kendall Almerico at Media(at)FundHub(dot)Biz or by telephone to 813.410.4658.
