LOS ANGELES, CA--(Marketwired - Aug 28, 2017) - Boustead & Company Limited, a diversified financial services firm with offices in Los Angeles, London and Beijing, today announced that it has completed the acquisition of FlashFunders, Inc. and its four vertically-integrated subsidiaries. FlashFunders is designed to help companies raise capital, and through its subsidiaries, is the only company to be authorized and regulated as a FINRA-registered Broker/Dealer, a FINRA-registered funding portal, a securities clearing firm, a transfer agency, an escrow company, and an SEC-exempt reporting advisor.

Boustead Securities and FlashFunders proved their collaborative capabilities with ADOMANI, the best-performing IPO thus far in 2017.
