Blue Sky Advisory Service
Blue Sky Advisory Service provides analysis, review and guidance to companies about compliance with each U.S. state's "Blue Sky Laws." Any company that wishes to improve liquidity and expand its shareholder base will find the Blue Sky Advisory Service indispensible.

Pink OTC Markets Inc. and Blue Sky Data Corp. have partnered to provide U.S. OTC traded companies with experienced guidance on how to become "Blue Sky" compliant in each of the 50 U.S. states.

The service provides OTC issuers with:

  • A determination of a company's Blue Sky status in each state and guidance regarding available exemptions and additional information, filings or registrations required for compliance in additional states
  • Critical ongoing monitoring and notification of changes in state securities laws so companies can stay on top of state requirements and maintain their Blue Sky status in chosen states
  • Communication of a company's Blue Sky iformation to brokerage and clearing firms around the country to ensure their compliance with state rules and regulations pertaining to secondary trading
  • Access to view the current list of states in which the securities are registered or exempt from registration, i.e. Blue Sky compliant (available to www.otciq.com users)

Each state has its own securities laws and rules, commonly known as the "Blue Sky Laws", which regulate offers and sales of securities, as well as the registration and reporting requirements for broker-dealers and investment advisers seeking to offer their investment advisory services. Companies listed on a U.S. exchange are granted automatic Blue Sky exemption in all 50 states; however, once a company commences trading in the OTC market, it is required to become Blue Sky compliant with an individual state's Blue Sky laws before offers or sales may be made in that state.

Each state institutes specific requirements that must be met in order to receive the exemption. The Blue Sky Advisory Service fulfills brokers' regulatory checks so they know which stocks they can recommend to investors in which states. Companies that trade in the U.S. OTC market must be Blue Sky compliant in each state in order for brokers to recommend their stock to investors in that state.
