LANSING — Proposed legislation would allow Michigan businesses to use crowdfunding websites to seek investments in exchange for company shares.
Bill sponsor Rep. Nancy Jenkins, R-Clayton, said her proposal would boost the state economy by giving small business owners and entrepreneurs options for raising capital. While the measure has support from several business groups, some lawmakers and state regulators expressed concerns that it doesn't do enough to protect investors.
