Regulation CF: funding portals can charge commissions!

Not everyone outside CrowdCheck HQ has finished reading the SEC’s 6,000 page proposals for securities crowdfunding yet. So they may not have picked up on the fact that yes, indeed, crowdfunding portals would be able to charge commissions to companies raising money on their platforms under the proposals. (And although the SEC hasn’t said it, they will probably be able to receive those commissions in dollars, bitcoin or UberKittens.) So as soon as securities crowdfunding is legal, funding portals will be able to compete with broker-dealers with respect to this important aspect of their business plans.
