SB Cal is sponsoring the Access to Capital through Equity Crowdfunding bill that is an important funding option for small and start-up companies.  
 California small businesses often lack access to capital and rely heavily on bank financing, credit-card debt, home equity and limited personal finances for additional liquidity. This bill would enable small and start-up businesses to reach out to investors more effectively and would also provide the much needed investor protections not found in the federal regulations.
