4. Differences between public sources

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

2 differences found between the filings for FRANK RICHARDS (compared 3 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Apr 19, 2010 – Dec 29, 2010

Offering amount changed between filings — SMARTZIP ANALYTICS, INC.

The Apr 19, 2010 filing says $4,500,000 offered; the Dec 29, 2010 Form D/A says $5,500,000.

What this means The target raise changed. Raising the cap is common when a deal grows; ask whether the extra money has the same terms and use.

Sources
Note · Jan 5, 2024

Same name, different state: "Frank Richards" (CO) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is CA. A separate record, "Frank Richards" with address state CO, is listed on 1 filing — most recently by EMPLOYMENT SCREENING PLUS LLC (Jan 5, 2024). The two records do not overlap in time: this page runs Feb 3, 2010 to Dec 29, 2010; the other has one filing dated Jan 5, 2024.

What this means Could be the same person who moved, or two people with the same name. We keep them apart until a filing ties them together. Check both pages before you decide.

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.

5. Money to insiders

0 of 2 offerings report sales commissions; 0 report finder's fees; 1 reports proceeds to related persons totalling $696,000. (includes amounts the issuer reported as estimates)

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).
