Understanding Private Investments in Texas

Key considerations for entrepreneurs and investors

Private placements allow businesses to raise capital without going through public securities registration, but they come with strict regulatory requirements. In Houston, compliance with both Texas and federal securities laws is critical to protecting all parties and ensuring the validity of the investment. A well-prepared PPM outlines essential details such as the purpose of the offering, investor qualifications, and associated risks.



Investors rely on these documents to make informed decisions, while businesses use them to establish credibility and reduce legal exposure. Lindholm Law helps both sides navigate the complexities of private offerings with clarity and confidence. Our approach focuses on building trust, ensuring compliance, and protecting long-term relationships between businesses and investors.

This document protects both the company and the investor by creating a clear record of the transaction and ensuring compliance with securities laws.

  • Do I need a PPM for every private investment offering?

It may also outline investor qualifications and use of funds. We ensure that your PPM is comprehensive, accurate, and tailored to your specific transaction.

  • Can you review an existing PPM for compliance?

  • How does a PPM protect my business?

    A properly drafted PPM provides a clear record of the investment terms and risks, which can be invaluable in the event of disputes. It demonstrates that your company acted transparently and in good faith. This documentation not only helps maintain investor trust but also shields your business from potential legal challenges.
