Bad Actor Application (included).

"*" indicates required fields

Instructions

This affirmation and certification must be completed by an executive officer of the Issuer with the power to bind the company.

The affirmation must identify each Covered Person as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission “Bad Actor” Rules, 17 C.F.R. § 227.503. Covered Persons include the Issuer itself, all predecessors of the Issuer (for example, where a “C” corporation previously operated as an LLC) and “DBA” names of the Issuer, any affiliated issuer, officers, directors, managing members, general partners, beneficial owners of 20% or more voting equity securities, and any promoters for the offering.

Covered Persons should be identified in the fields below.

The Bad Actor rules disqualify an issuer from relying on the Regulation Crowdfunding exemption from registration of offerings of securities if any covered person has triggered a “disqualifying event.” The offering may go forward if the disqualifying event occurred before May 16, 2016, but the event must be disclosed to investors.

The Bad Actor Report will check against the eight enumerated categories of disqualifying events to permit the issuer, intermediary, and investors to show that “reasonable care” has been taken that no disqualifying events have been triggered.

Affirmation and Certification

I affirm that I am the principal executive officer of the company describe herein, issuing securities in reliance on the Regulation Crowdfunding exemption from registration of the securities being offered.

I affirm that I have read and understand the disqualifying events under the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Bad Actor rules attached as “Background”.

I certify that, except as disclosed below, neither I, nor any of the covered persons identified below, have committed, been found guilty of, or been found liable for any of the enumerated disqualifying events.

I also understand that CrowdCheck or its designated agent will produce Bad Actor Reports to verify this affirmation information provided as part of its services. I understand (and the covered persons have been informed) that the Bad Actor Reports will search records pertaining to each of the enumerated disqualifying events of the Bad Actor rules. I acknowledge that the provision of incorrect information may result in civil and criminal liability to me and my company.

I further understand that CrowdCheck Bad Actor Reports will be delivered to the person or party commissioning the Reports and that they may be made available to prospective investors through publication on an investment platform. I agree to release and hold CrowdCheck or its designated agent harmless from any and all claims, responsibility, or liability that may result from this process.

IMPORTANT MESSAGE: IN MAKING AN INVESTMENT DECISION, INVESTORS MUST RELY ON THEIR OWN EXAMINATION OF THE ISSUER AND THE TERMS OF THE OFFERING, INCLUDING THE MERITS AND RISKS INVOLVED. INVESTMENTS ON SMALL CHANGE ARE SPECULATIVE, ILLIQUID, AND INVOLVE A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK, INCLUDING THE POSSIBLE LOSS OF YOUR ENTIRE INVESTMENT.

This website, smallchange.co, which we refer to as the “Site,” is used by two different companies:  NSSC Crowd, LLC, which we refer to as “NSSC Crowd,” and NSSC Funding Portal, LLC, which we refer to as “NSSC Funding Portal.” NSSC Crowd offers investments in real estate projects under Rule 506(c) of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). These investments are offered to accredited investors only. NSSC Funding Portal, which is a licensed Funding Portal, offers investments in real estate projects under Regulation Crowdfunding, which is also known as Title III Crowdfunding. These investments are offered to everyone.

By using this Site, you are subject to our Terms of Use and our Privacy Policy. Please read these carefully before using the Site.

A crowdfunding investment involves risk. You should not invest any funds in the offerings listed on this Site unless you can afford to lose your entire investment.

Although our Site offers investors the opportunity to invest in real estate projects and companies, we do not make recommendations regarding the appropriateness of a particular opportunity for any particular investor. We are not investment advisers. Investors must make their own investment decisions, either alone or with their personal advisors. Real estate can be risky and unpredictable. For example, many experienced, informed people lost money when the real estate market declined in 2007-8. Time has shown that the real estate market goes down without warning, sometimes resulting in significant losses. Some of the risks of investing in real estate include changing laws, including environmental laws; floods, fires, and other Acts of God, some of which can be uninsurable; changes in national or local economic conditions; changes in government policies, including changes in interest rates established by the Federal Reserve; and international crises. You should invest in real estate in general, and in the opportunities listed at the Site in particular, only if you can afford to lose your investment and are willing to live with the ups and downs of the real estate industry.

We provide financial projections for some of the investment opportunities listed on the Site. All such financial projections are only estimates based on current conditions and current assumptions. The actual result of any investment is likely to be different than the original projection, often by a large amount.

Neither we nor anyone else guarantees the results reflected in financial projections. Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state agency has reviewed the investment opportunities listed on the Site.
