The Securities and Exchange Commission regulates the securities industry.  If your small business involves the trading, buying, selling, or exchanging of securities; or if your company is a publicly held small business, then certain aspects of your small business may fall under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Securities Act of 1933, or other acts, regulations, and statutes.  Please consult with an Attorney if you have any questions about the SEC’s impact on your business.
