The short version

Scott E Chappell is listed as an executive officer and director on 3 SEC Form D filings by 2 issuers between Aug 2020 and Sep 2025: Barings Small Business Fund, L.P. (Charlotte, NC — pooled investment fund — 2020–2021; $71.2M reported sold to 30 investors) and Barings Small Business Fund II, L.P. (Charlotte, NC — pooled investment fund — 2025).

What this means 2 separate companies raised money with this person listed as executive officer and director, over about 5 years. Across those companies the filings report $71.2M sold in total.

Listed alongside Christina Emery (3 shared filings), E. Barings LLC (3 shared filings, management entity), Eric Lloyd (3 shared filings), E Barings Small Business Fund (2 shared filings, management entity), Ian Fowler (2 shared filings) and 4 others.

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

All 2 issuers belong to the sponsor group Barings (5 issuers, $3.84B reported sold, 2018–2026).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Barings has 5 companies on file and $3.84B reported sold in total — the group page shows the whole track record in one place.

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), SEC enforcement releases, state securities regulators (AK, AL, AR, AZ, CA, CT, DE, FINRA, GA, HI, ID, IL, KS, KY, LA, MA, MD, ME, MI, MO, MS, MT, NASAA, NC, ND, NH, NM, NV, OK, OR, PA, RI, SC, SD, TN, TX, VT, WA, WI, WV, WY) — 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 3 public filings for Scott E Chappell and found 4 differences: Form D filed 18 days after the first sale; No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open; 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

4 differences found between the filings for Scott E Chappell (compared 3 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Jul 31, 2020 – Aug 18, 2020

Form D filed 18 days after the first sale — Barings Small Business Fund, L.P.

The filing says the first sale was Jul 31, 2020. The Form D was filed Aug 18, 2020 — 18 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 3 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.

Sources
Note · Jul 31, 2020 – Aug 9, 2021

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Barings Small Business Fund, L.P. (latest filing Aug 9, 2021)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Aug 9, 2021 (first sale Jul 31, 2020). It reports $71,200,000 sold of $100,000,000 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.

Note · Mar 12, 2026 – Mar 24, 2026

Same name, different state: "Scott Chappell" (UT) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is NC. A separate record, "Scott Chappell" with address state UT, is listed on 3 filings — most recently by OZ14 Opportunity Fund, LLC (Mar 24, 2026). The two records do not overlap in time: this page runs Aug 18, 2020 to Sep 29, 2025; the other runs Mar 12, 2026 to Mar 24, 2026.

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.

This page covers filings where the address state is NC. A separate record, "SCOTT E. CHAPPELL" with address state KY, is listed on 1 filing — most recently by UNITED METRO MEDIA LLC (Feb 5, 2010). The two records do not overlap in time: this page runs Aug 18, 2020 to Sep 29, 2025; the other has one filing dated Feb 5, 2010.

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.
