Alabama’s new crowdfunding law, which allows someone looking to start a small business to raise up to $1 million toward their initiative, was signed into law by Gov. Robert Bentley earlier this year.
The forums will explain the law and how to apply, provide information on raising capital and allow attendees to ask questions.
