Unlock Florida's Investment Potential with StateCF
Your trusted partner for capital raising in the Sunshine State. StateCF is the OFR-registered intermediary that helps Florida businesses raise capital from Florida investors under the Invest Local statute, and the portal that keeps the whole offering compliant.
Understanding the Florida Invest Local Statute
Chapter 517 lets a Florida business raise capital directly from Florida residents: up to $500,000 under the Invest Local Exemption (§ 517.0612) or up to $5,000,000 under the Florida Limited Offering Exemption (§ 517.0611), with an OFR-registered intermediary required above $2,500,000. Investors must be Florida residents, funds go to a Florida depository named in your disclosure, and every announcement states the Florida-only limitation.
Key Advantages of Florida Invest Local
Community Funding
Connect directly with Florida residents and businesses who believe in your vision and want local companies to thrive.
Reduced Regulatory Burden
State-level rules under Chapter 517 are less complex and less costly than a federal offering.
Speed & Efficiency
A framework built for the pace of local business: OFR notice, disclosure statement, deposit account, go live.
Local Economic Impact
Capital raised from Florida investors is used in Florida.
Flexible Offering Terms
Common, preferred or debt, priced and sized to your business within the statute's limits.
Enhanced Investor Relations
Discussion board, live conferences, investor emails and material-change notices from your company account.
Your Path to Capital: Getting Started with StateCF
Step 1: Complete Your StateCF Application
Submit the capital-readiness application. It tells us about the company, the proposed offering, your disclosure information and your legal readiness. It is reviewed by StateCF; the readiness checklist and recommendations come back to you.
Step 2: Schedule Your Onboarding Appointment
After review, we schedule an onboarding appointment to walk through your goals, the exemption that fits (§ 517.0612 up to $500,000 or § 517.0611 up to $5,000,000), and the timeline.
Step 3: Prepare Your Offering
Prepare the presentation room, the tombstone ad, the disclosure statement and the deposit-account instruction. StateCF and its AI tools check the file for antifraud and Chapter 517 fit. You file your notice with the OFR through REAL.
Step 4: Launch Your Campaign
Your tombstone and presentation room go live to Florida investors. Announce the facts (that you are listed, that the deposit account is near a close, that the offering closed), always with the Florida-residents-only limitation.
Step 5: Fund Your Future
When the disclosed target is met, the depository releases funds to your designated account and certificates are issued on the cap table. StateCF keeps the record.
Campaign Options: Tailored for Your Success
StateCF is committed to making capital formation accessible and affordable. Subscription options meet different needs, with the freedom to upgrade at any time and no long-term commitment. Fees are billed to the company and disclosed in the OFR filing; they are never charged to investors.
