Private Investor Legality

[Hunter Thompson]

I am starting to try and gather a network of potential investors for deals I have in mind and for future deals to come. What I am primarily concerned about is how to stay within my legal bounds when making new connections and "asking for money". One of the primary ways I think I would like to make connections is through social media, of course, while also hitting the typical family and friends connections.

One of the major concerns I am having is, for example, I ran a Facebook advert simply bringing attention to my facebook page. Someone then, long story short, someone that came to us through that decided they wanted to invest with us. Would this cause any potential legal problems when trying to make the deal or take investments? 

Any help or (not legal) advice would be greatly appreciated. Of course, I am not limiting my question to that one scenario, just that's the main one that came to mind right now.
