Accredited Investor Verification for Deal Sponsors

Why Sponsors Choose Us

Built around the one thing that kills a 506(c) raise

Verification friction. When accreditation is slow or invasive, investors stall — and committed capital slips. AccreditedNow is engineered to keep your investors moving toward the wire.

"Reasonable steps," documented

Rule 506(c) requires you to take reasonable steps to verify each investor is accredited. We produce independent, third-party CPA verification for every investor — the standard issuers and their counsel expect. How to verify accredited investors →

CPA-signed letters

Every letter is reviewed and signed by a licensed CPA, dated, and valid for 90 days — accepted by Reg D issuers and ready to drop into your subscription package.

Fast, predictable turnaround

Investors upload documents through a guided, bank-level-secure flow and letters typically come back within 24 hours of complete documents. No back-and-forth with your team, no chasing paperwork.

A branded link you just send

We give you a single verification link to send to your investor list. Every investor who verifies is automatically tagged to your deal — no spreadsheets, no manual tracking on your side.

Accreditation and AML in one link

Clear the SEC's reasonable-steps safe harbor and add the identity and sanctions/PEP screening your bank and fund admin expect — from the same link you already send. Investors complete accreditation and onboarding in one flow, not two. See investor onboarding →

A low-friction investor experience

Your investors see a clean, professional, mobile-friendly flow that reflects well on your firm — not a clunky compliance portal that makes them second-guess the deal.

Alerts that close deals

See exactly where every investor stands — and get emailed automatically the moment an investor is verified, or if someone stalls on documents for 3, 5, or 7 days. You always know how much of your round is cleared to close.

Security & Compliance

A verification partner your counsel can sign off on

The safeguards that protect your investors' data and your reasonable-steps record — built in, not bolted on.

90-day automatic document deletionInvestor financial documents are purged automatically by a daily deletion job 90 days after a letter is issued. Sensitive data doesn't linger.

CPA-signed, dated lettersEach letter is issued and signed by a licensed CPA — independent third-party verification, not a self-certification checkbox.

Complete audit trailEvery verification is time-stamped and logged with audit fields — who verified, when, by which method — so your reasonable-steps record is defensible.

Bank-level encryptionDocuments are encrypted in transit and at rest, uploaded through a secure flow, and accessible only to the assigned CPA.

Optional add-on · +$15 per seat

Verify identity and screen every investor

One link covers both: the CPA-signed accreditation that clears the SEC's reasonable-steps safe harbor, and the identity and AML screening your bank and fund admin increasingly expect alongside it. Switch it on for a raise and every investor you cover completes a one-minute identity check (government ID + selfie) and is screened against global sanctions and watchlists (OFAC and international) and politically-exposed-person (PEP) databases — with the result on your CPA's desk before the letter is signed. Covered investors are then kept under ongoing monitoring for up to five years, so a watchlist match that appears after onboarding is surfaced, not missed.

Identity verification (government ID + selfie) Global sanctions lists (OFAC SDN + international) Watchlists & politically-exposed persons (PEP) Ongoing monitoring (up to 5 years)

Automated identity verification plus sanctions/PEP screening at the time of verification. A potential match flags the case for the licensed CPA to review — never an automatic decline. Each investor's file carries an identity check and a sanctions screen alongside the accreditation letter — so accreditation and onboarding clear in one place. Add it by ticking the box on any seat pack in Sponsor Pricing below.

PCI Level 1 secure payments. Card details go straight to Stripe — never stored on our servers.

SOC 2 Type II & GDPR storage

Documents are encrypted in transit (TLS 1.2+) and at rest (AES-256) on SOC 2 Type II-, ISO 27001-, and GDPR-compliant infrastructure via Uploadcare. See our security page.

Independent licensed CPA

Every letter is reviewed and signed by an independent licensed CPA — never by AccreditedNow.

Private by design

Documents deleted after 90 days, bot-protected by reCAPTCHA, and served over encrypted HTTPS.

Sponsor Pricing

Prepaid seats — your investors verify free

One investor who stalls at a clunky verification step can cost you far more than an entire pack of seats. Buy verification seats up front and your investors verify at no cost to them — the larger the pack, the lower the per-seat price, and every seat is a full CPA-signed 506(c) letter.

Add identity + sanctions/PEP screening to every seat — a one-minute ID check + global sanctions/PEP screen on your CPA's desk before signing. How it works › +$15/seat

Prices below include screening. Switch it off for accreditation verification only.

Nothing to integrate — it's one link

Every seat includes a CPA-signed 506(c) verification letter, your branded verification link, automatic investor tagging, and 90-day renewal reminders.

One seat covers an individual verification. Entity and trust verifications are more involved and use additional seats; multi-owner entities, family offices, and $5M asset-test entities are quoted individually — just reach out and we'll set it up.

Sponsor FAQ

Questions sponsors ask us

Rule 506(c) requires issuers to take reasonable steps to verify that each investor is accredited. A written confirmation from a licensed CPA who has reviewed the investor's documentation is one of the methods the SEC has identified as satisfying that standard. AccreditedNow provides an independent, CPA-signed letter for each investor so you have third-party verification on file rather than relying on self-certification.

Most investors complete the secure upload flow in a few minutes, and a licensed CPA typically issues the signed letter within 24 hours of receiving complete documents. Turnaround depends on the investor providing complete documents, but our guided flow is designed to get everything right the first time.

Your investor clicks the branded link you send them, uploads supporting documents such as recent tax returns, W-2s, or brokerage statements through a secure flow, and confirms a few details. That's it. A CPA reviews the documents and emails them a signed letter. There is nothing for your team to process.

Documents are encrypted in transit and at rest and are accessible only to the assigned CPA. Financial documents are automatically deleted 90 days after a letter is issued by a daily purge job, so sensitive data does not sit in storage indefinitely. Every verification is logged with audit fields for a defensible record.

Yes. Investor onboarding — automated identity verification plus sanctions and PEP screening — is an optional add-on for sponsors at $15 per seat. When you turn it on, every investor you cover completes a one-minute identity check (a government ID scan and a selfie) and is screened against global sanctions and watchlists (OFAC and international) and politically-exposed-person databases at the time they verify, and the results are placed in front of the licensed CPA before the letter is signed. A potential match flags the case for the CPA to review rather than automatically declining anyone. So a covered investor's file carries an identity check and a sanctions screen alongside the accreditation letter. Covered investors are also kept under ongoing monitoring for up to five years, so a new watchlist match that appears after onboarding is surfaced rather than missed. Tick the onboarding box on any seat pack to add it.

Yes, for entity investors. When an LLC, trust, or fund is the accredited investor, our business-verification (KYB) add-on confirms the entity in official government registries, screens the entity against sanctions and PEP lists, and reviews its ownership documents to identify the beneficial owners. It is a $39 add-on on an entity verification and is included at no extra charge with the $5M asset-test plan. The result lands on your CPA's work paper alongside the accreditation. Start an entity verification to add it.

Rule 506(c) requires you to take reasonable steps to verify each investor is accredited — it does not, by itself, require identity or AML screening. But OFAC sanctions apply to every US person regardless of Regulation D, and many fund administrators, banks, and capital-raising platforms expect an identity and sanctions check on investors before they will onboard a deal. This is general information, not legal advice — your securities counsel is the one to confirm what your offering needs. If you want it handled in one place, our investor onboarding add-on bundles a government-ID identity check and sanctions/PEP screening with the accreditation letter for $15 per seat.

Yes. Every investor who verifies through your branded link is automatically tagged to your deal, and your sponsor dashboard shows how many of your investors are verified, how many are pending documents, and how many have not yet started. You can also turn on automatic email alerts — we notify you the moment an investor is verified, or if someone hasn't uploaded documents after 3, 5, or 7 days.

You buy a pack of verification seats up front and your investors verify at no cost to them. You can cover any number of investors — from a single seat up to 100. The first four seats are $99 each (the same an individual pays); the volume discount begins at 5 seats ($89 each) and drops to $79, $69, and $65 at 10, 25, and 50, with custom pricing for 100 or more. Every seat is a full CPA-signed 506(c) letter, and seats never expire.

Join our Referral & Affiliate Program instead — there's nothing to pre-purchase. You get a referral link and a live dashboard, and you choose how your referral value is delivered: a cash referral fee to you (20% on individual verifications, 15% on entities, the asset test, and seat packs), a discount passed to your client, or a split of the two. Your clients still pay for their own verification, and every letter is a full CPA-signed 506(c) letter. See the Referral & Affiliate Program.
