How to find Form D filings

Published July 16, 2026 · Last verified July 16, 2026

A Form D is a notice that an issuer files with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for certain offerings exempt from full registration under Regulation D, or Reg D. EDGAR is the SEC's free filing system, and a filed Form D becomes a public record there. FormDFlow indexes those records and adds filters and tags. That gives a sales or research team a narrower place to start than an unfiltered EDGAR search. FormDFlow surfaces public-disclosure data from SEC EDGAR. Nothing here is investment advice.

1. Search SEC EDGAR

If you know the issuer name or its Central Index Key (CIK), start in SEC EDGAR's company and filing search. A CIK is the identifier the SEC assigns to a filer. Open the filing history, then filter for Form D or Form D/A. If you only have a keyword, use EDGAR full-text search instead. It covers electronic filings back to 2001 and filters by form type and date. Both tools run on the SEC's site and are free to use.

2. Open the source filing

Read the filed document first. Note the issuer name, filing date, location, offering amount, exemption claimed, and related persons exactly as the form reports them. Item 13 deserves extra care. The SEC's EDGAR Filer Manual allows only two entries for Total Offering Amount: an amount greater than $0 or "Indefinite." The latter is a deliberate disclosure often used by funds and blind pools. If FormDFlow has no numeric amount, the issuer may have checked "Indefinite" or FormDFlow's parsing may be incomplete. Inspect the SEC filing to tell which. Never estimate a figure or treat "Indefinite" as an unstated amount. They are different disclosures.

3. Use a filing directory when you need a filtered view

Use a directory when you are not starting with a known issuer. It lets you scan filings by sector tag, geography, exemption type, offering size, or month. FormDFlow builds these pages from public SEC EDGAR records it has indexed, filtered, and tagged. The pages are a filtered subset, not complete SEC coverage, and not a ranked, curated, or recommended selection. You can browse the full directory or go directly to climate or fintech filings.

4. Verify against the source

For a filing-specific fact, use the original SEC EDGAR document as the source of record. FormDFlow's tags, sector labels, and automated summaries help you find and scan public records, but the underlying filing controls. Check it before relying on a detail.

How FormDFlow organizes public Form D records

FormDFlow uses the same public EDGAR filings and groups them by useful attributes. Every indexed filing has a page with the disclosed facts and a link back to EDGAR. Directories group filings by sector tag and month. Stage labels are FormDFlow-inferred tags, not facts stated on the form. The directory covers records FormDFlow has indexed and tagged, not every Form D filed with the SEC.

See a filing page next to its SEC EDGAR filing directory

Every FormDFlow filing page links to its SEC EDGAR filing directory. These pairs show that path: a FormDFlow page beside the public record it came from. They are illustrative examples, not a ranked, curated, or recommended selection, and they say nothing about an issuer or offering. For a filing-specific fact, open the filed document in EDGAR.

Regulation D at a glance

Regulation D (Reg D) is an SEC exemption framework for certain private securities offerings. Common Form D exemptions include Rule 506(b), Rule 506(c), and Rule 504. The presence of a Form D filing does not mean the SEC has endorsed the issuer or the offering.
