The short version

Benjamin Fearn is listed as a promoter on 1 SEC Form D filing by 1 issuer in Apr 2021: Next Marine Solutions, Inc. (South Bristol, ME — manufacturing — 2021; $550K reported sold to 8 investors).

What this means One deal on file with the SEC, filed Apr 2021. A Form D is the notice a company files after it starts selling a private investment — it is a notice, not an approval.

Listed alongside Amanda Similien (1 shared filing) and William Murray Peterson (1 shared filing).

What this means These are the other officers, directors or promoters the companies named on the same forms — the team around Benjamin. Each name links to their own page.

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), SEC enforcement releases, state securities regulators (AK, AL, AR, AZ, CA, CO, CT, DC, DE, FINRA, FL, GA, HI, ID, IL, KS, KY, LA, MA, MD, ME, MI, MO, MS, MT, NASAA, NC, ND, NH, NM, NV, NY, OH, OK, OR, PA, RI, SC, SD, TN, TX, UT, VT, WA, WI, WV, WY) — 7 court cases matching the name, 12 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 19 records came back, including 1 court case still open — open cases can take years and cost money. Each one is listed below with a link to the original document and a line saying why it matched. A name match is not proof it is the same person or company — read the why line and the document. Being sued or named in a release is an accusation, not a finding.

We compared 1 public filing for Benjamin Fearn and found 3 differences, 1 worth asking the sponsor about: Form D filed 147 days after the first sale; and more below.

What this means These are differences between the sponsor's own SEC filings — both values, dates and sources are listed in Key records, section 4. Most have ordinary explanations; ask the sponsor.

4. Differences between public sources

Comparisons cover issuers and sponsor groups — see the issuer pages under Deals

3 differences found between the filings for Benjamin Fearn — 1 worth asking about (compared 1 filing on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Jun 6, 2024

Benjamin Fearn appears on 1 deal that stopped filing before reaching its target

Next Marine Solutions, Inc. (last filing Jun 6, 2024; $549,945 sold of $1,222,100). Each has no filing in more than two years and reported under half its target sold.

What this means An issuer whose last filing is more than two years old and reported under half its target sold. The raise may have closed early or quietly stopped. Ask what happened to each.

Sources

Next Marine Solutions, Inc. — PartnerFacts page ↗ (Jun 6, 2024)

Worth asking · Nov 24, 2020 – Apr 20, 2021

Form D filed 147 days after the first sale — Next Marine Solutions, Inc.

The filing says the first sale was Nov 24, 2020. The Form D was filed Apr 20, 2021 — 147 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 132 days past that.

What this means A late notice is common and carries no penalty by itself. It is worth asking the sponsor why the paperwork lagged.

Form D · Apr 20, 2021 ↗ (Apr 20, 2021)
Next Marine Solutions, Inc. — PartnerFacts page ↗ (Jun 6, 2024)

Note · Nov 24, 2020 – Apr 20, 2021

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Next Marine Solutions, Inc. (latest filing Apr 20, 2021)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Apr 20, 2021 (first sale Nov 24, 2020). It reports $549,945 sold of $1,222,100 offered. No later amendment is in our index as of Oct 24, 2026.

What this means SEC rules expect a yearly amendment while an offering is still going. The raise may simply have ended — a Form D does not say when it closed. Ask the sponsor whether the offering closed, when, and at what amount.

What is compared

What is compared: every Form D and D/A we hold for this subject, side by side — filing dates vs. first-sale dates (the 15-day rule), amendment timing on open offerings (the yearly-amendment expectation), amounts sold, investor counts, offering amounts and minimums across amendments, industry and size bands, addresses, how each person's name and role is written, paid sellers' CRD numbers, and (for groups) where the member companies were formed and sit. Everything is as filed by the issuer; the SEC does not check it. Differences are common and usually have ordinary explanations — we show both values, the dates, and the source so you can ask. As of Oct 24, 2026.

5. Money to insiders

None reported on 1 offering — no sales commissions, finder's fees or proceeds to insiders

Per-offering detail

Offering (latest filing)	Sales commissions	Finder's fees	To insiders	Paid to sell it	Source
Apr 20, 2021 D Next Marine Solutions, Inc. File 021-396471	$0	$0	$0 (est.)	None listed on this filing	EDGAR ↗

Counts come from Form D Items 12–15 on the filings in our index (latest filing per offering; one offering = one SEC file number; an amendment updates its offering rather than adding one). "To insiders" = gross proceeds used for payments to executive officers, directors or promoters. "—" = not reported on that filing. Amounts marked (est.) were reported as estimates. "Paid to sell it" = sales compensation recipients named on that filing (Item 12), each linked to FINRA BrokerCheck when a CRD number is reported.

Counted across every filing this person is listed on (latest filing per offering, per issuer).

Registrations and other filings

Business registration (state registry / Secretary of State)

Individuals are not matched to business registrations — registries list companies, and a name alone is not enough to tie a person to one. Officers and managers appear by name inside each matched company's record on the issuer pages. Registries searched: AL (Alabama Secretary of State — Business Entity Records (arc-sos.state.al.us), searched by issuer name, data as of Oct 24, 2026); CO (Colorado Secretary of State — Business Entities in Colorado (data.colorado.gov), data as of Oct 23, 2026); CT (Connecticut Secretary of the State — Business Registry (data.ct.gov), data as of Oct 24, 2026); FL (Florida Department of State, Division of Corporations — quarterly corporate data file (Sunbiz), data as of Oct 7, 2026); NY (New York Department of State — Corporations and Other Entities (data.ny.gov: All Filings + Active Corporations), data as of Oct 20, 2026); OR (Oregon Secretary of State — Active Businesses, All (data.oregon.gov), data as of Oct 20, 2026); PA (Pennsylvania Department of State — Registered Businesses, Current (data.pa.gov), data as of Oct 6, 2026); TX (Texas Comptroller — Active Franchise Taxpayers incl.

Registries of other states have not been searched: many publish no bulk file and require a CAPTCHA or bot challenge on their search page, which we do not bypass (Delaware, for example, offers no public bulk file).

Adviser registration (Form ADV)

None of the 1 issuer this person is listed on appears in Form ADV (searched 24,962 advisers as of Oct 2, 2026). A person is never an adviser firm; Form ADV is checked for the issuers and the management companies they are listed with.
