In order for an individual to qualify as an accredited investor, they must meet one of the following expectations:
1) Earn an individual income of more than $200,000 per year, or a joint income of $300,000, in each of the last 2 years and expect to reasonably maintain the same level of income.
2) Have a net worth exceeding $1 million, either individually or joint with their spouse.
3) Be a general partner, executive officer, director, or a related combination for the issuer of the security being offered. These investors are considered to be fully functional without all the restrictions of the SEC.
