The short version

Brian Coffman is listed as an executive officer, director, and promoter on 1 SEC Form D filing by 1 issuer in Jun 2018: Clear Choice Fund (Tempe, AZ — other banking and financial services — 2018; $15.6M reported sold to 50 investors).

What this means One deal on file with the SEC, filed Jun 2018. 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 Allison Coffman (1 shared filing) and Michael Coffman (1 shared filing).

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

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), SEC enforcement releases, state securities regulators (AR, AZ, CA, CT, DE, FINRA, GA, HI, ID, LA, ME, MO, MS, MT, NASAA, NC, NH, NM, OR, RI, TX, WA) — 8 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 8 records came back. 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 Brian Coffman and found 5 differences, 1 worth asking the sponsor about: Paid seller listed without a CRD number: Michael Coffman; 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

5 differences found between the filings for Brian Coffman — 1 worth asking about (compared 1 filing on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Jun 14, 2018

Michael Coffman is both a listed executive officer, director, promoter and a paid seller — Clear Choice Fund

The Jun 14, 2018 Form D/A lists Michael Coffman as executive officer, director, promoter of the issuer and also as a person receiving sales compensation (no CRD number given).

What this means The same person is listed as running the company and as being paid to sell its securities. Ask how much and on what terms.

Sources
Note · Jun 14, 2018

Brian Coffman appears on 1 deal that stopped filing before reaching its target

Clear Choice Fund (last filing Jun 14, 2018; $15,630,150 sold of $60,000,000). 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
Worth asking · Jun 12, 2009 – Jun 14, 2018

Paid seller listed without a CRD number: Michael Coffman — Clear Choice Fund

Michael Coffman is listed as receiving sales compensation on 2 filings (Jun 12, 2009 to Jun 14, 2018) with no FINRA CRD number given.

What this means People paid to sell securities normally hold a FINRA registration with a CRD number. Without one we cannot look them up on BrokerCheck. Ask who they are and whether they are registered.

Sources
Note · Jul 31, 2009 – Jun 14, 2018

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Clear Choice Fund (latest filing Jun 14, 2018)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Jun 14, 2018 (first sale Jul 31, 2009). It reports $15,630,150 sold of $60,000,000 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.

Sources
Note · Jun 12, 2009 – Jun 14, 2018

Reported revenue range changed between filings — Clear Choice Fund

"$1,000,001 - $5,000,000" (Jun 12, 2009); then "Decline to Disclose" (Jun 14, 2018).

What this means This is the size band the issuer picks for itself on the form. A change can mean the business grew or shrank — or that it chose not to say. Ask for current numbers.

Sources
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.

How this is counted

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).
