# Will my company's appearance on Fundable constitute “general solicitation”?

Your Fundable Profile will not likely constitute “general solicitation” so long as you avoid including predictions, projections, forecasts, valuations, opinions, or language to solicit an investor in your Public Profile.

**General solicitation** refers to openly advertising or communicating investment opportunities to the public. This includes public advertising through newspapers, magazines, websites, social media, or television. To avoid general solicitation under Regulation D, companies must ensure their public communications do not contain offers to sell securities or suggest investment opportunities. Companies should focus on presenting factual, non-promotional information about their business without making projections, predictions, or direct solicitations for investments.

For a more thorough explanation of general solicitation, check out the SEC's explanation here:[https://www.sec.gov/resources-small-businesses/small-business-compliance-guides/eliminating-prohibition-against-general-solicitation-general-advertising-rule-506-rule-144a](https://www.sec.gov/resources-small-businesses/small-business-compliance-guides/eliminating-prohibition-against-general-solicitation-general-advertising-rule-506-rule-144a)
