We are richly blessed in the United States of America with two new and unprecedented opportunities to cocreate cause-oriented businesses based on spiritual principles. They include the new Benefit Corporation model and the Crowd Funding provisions of the JOBS Act.
Our Strategy is to Establish a Network of New Thought Spirit in Business Benefit Corporations to Demonstrate Spiritual Principles We’re combining New Thought Spiritual Principles, Practices and Values with the new Benefit Corporation model and the Crowd Funding provisions of the JOBS Act to help foster innovation, collaboration, job creation, enlightened entrepreneurship, and sustainable communities. The recently passed JOBS Act creates Crowd Funding opportunities, eases IPO rules, and will let businesses advertise and raise up to a million dollars a year in equity capital from up to 2,000 non-accredited investors. It also allows non-accredited investors new opportunities to invest in these companies based upon a percentage of their income. www.spiritinbusinessbenefitcorporations.com
