The short version

William Britain is listed as an executive officer and director on 3 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer between Mar 2010 and Mar 2011: HireIQ Solutions, Inc. (Alpharetta, GA — other technology — 2010–2011; $1.63M reported sold to 16 investors).

What this means One deal on file with the SEC. 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 Joe Gruca (3 shared filings), Julian Forman (3 shared filings), Mark Hopkins (3 shared filings) and Robert Forman (3 shared filings).

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

The issuer belongs to the sponsor group Bip (125 issuers, $1.35B reported sold, 2010–2026).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Bip has 125 companies on file and $1.35B 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 (AZ, CA, DE, TX, WA) — 4 court cases matching the name, 7 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 11 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 3 public filings for William Britain and found 6 differences, 1 worth asking the sponsor about: Form D filed 72 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

6 differences found between the filings for William Britain — 1 worth asking about (compared 3 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Dec 20, 2010 – Mar 2, 2011

Form D filed 72 days after the first sale — HireIQ Solutions, Inc.

The filing says the first sale was Dec 20, 2010. The Form D was filed Mar 2, 2011 — 72 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 57 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 · Mar 12, 2010 – Mar 31, 2010

Form D filed 19 days after the first sale — HireIQ Solutions, Inc.

The filing says the first sale was Mar 12, 2010. The Form D was filed Mar 31, 2010 — 19 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 4 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 · Apr 29, 2014 – Jan 15, 2026

Same name, different state: "William Britain" (TX) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is GA. A separate record, "William Britain" with address state TX, is listed on 14 filings — most recently by PetroCap Partners IV, L.P. (Jan 15, 2026). The two records do not overlap in time: this page runs Mar 31, 2010 to Mar 2, 2011; the other runs Apr 29, 2014 to Jan 15, 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.

Sources
Note · Mar 31, 2010 – Mar 2, 2011

Address moved from Cumming, GA to Alpharetta, GA — HireIQ Solutions, Inc.

The people listed on the Mar 31, 2010 filing give Cumming, GA; on the Mar 2, 2011 filing they give Alpharetta, GA.

What this means Businesses move; this just shows the two places and dates. If you were told one city and the forms say another, ask which is current.

Sources
Note · Mar 31, 2010

Formed in 2011 per the latest filing, but activity is dated 2010 — HireIQ Solutions, Inc.

The issuer's latest filing says it was formed in 2011. The Mar 31, 2010 filing says the first sale was Mar 12, 2010 — before that year.

What this means A company cannot sell before it exists, so one of the two dates is likely a typo on the form. Ask the sponsor for the formation document.

Sources
Note · Mar 31, 2010 – Mar 2, 2011

Minimum investment changed between filings — HireIQ Solutions, Inc.

The Mar 31, 2010 filing lists a minimum of $25,000; the Mar 2, 2011 Form D/A lists $8,000.

What this means A different minimum usually means the offering terms changed. Check which terms apply to you.

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

None reported on 2 offerings — no sales commissions, finder's fees or proceeds to insiders

"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.
