Advanced Platform Features for Seamless Fundraising & Investing
Investor Qualification
Every investor confirms Florida residency and self-certifies their income and net-worth bracket before subscribing. Accredited status can be supported with an in-house verification file. Companies get qualified Florida investors; investors get a compliant environment.
Offering Compliance
Companies track every interaction with offering and investment documents, and investors have a record of what they received and when. The dashboard keeps timestamped records for document delivery and the three-business-day disclosure rule.
Secure Document Archiving
Every offering-related document and report is stored and backed up. Companies and investors reach their records through their own StateCF account.
Live Investor Engagement
Real-time communication between investors and the company through scheduled live video conferences and the discussion board. Sessions are logged for compliance.
Granular Administrative Controls
Companies set privileges for officers and directors who help manage the offering information. Every change is written to the change history.
Automated Communication
Companies see investor activity as it happens and can send compliant investor emails and material-change notices from the portal. Investors get timely updates and a recorded communication history.
Security & Trust: Our Commitment to Your Protection
Robust Data Security
Information travels over TLS and is stored with access checks on every file.
Managed Firewall Protection
The hosting environment is protected by managed firewalls and monitoring.
Dedicated Support
The StateCF team is available to answer questions from investors and issuers.
Disaster Recovery
Regular database backups and a documented restore procedure keep records intact.
Simplified Equity Capital Formation Process
Raising equity under the Florida Invest Local Act lets a company raise capital from Florida investors online, with lighter regulatory cost than a federal offering and the Florida-only limit that comes with it. StateCF's workflow keeps both sides on the compliant path.
Step 1: Prepare Your Offering / Explore Opportunities
Companies compile the essentials: pitch deck, business plan, financials and formation documents, and complete the capital-readiness application. Investors see a transparent offering that is ready for review.
Step 2: Define & Refine Strategy / Review & Understand
Companies set the fundraising goal, share price and offering structure within the Chapter 517 limits and prepare the disclosure statement for the OFR notice. Investors benefit from a well-structured, compliant offering.
Step 3: Go Live / Subscribe
After StateCF review and the issuer's OFR notice, the tombstone and presentation room go live. Florida investors complete education, confirm residency and subscribe through the two-screen checkout.
Step 4: Close / Become a Shareholder
When the disclosed target is met, the depository releases funds to the company and digital certificates are issued on the cap table. If the target is not met by the deadline, the depository returns every dollar.
