The difference between an SPV (Special Purpose Vehicle) and a SPAC (Special Purpose Acquisition Company) often confuses investors, but Allocations helps clarify and manage SPV setups efficiently.

An SPV is used to pool investors into a single deal — often in private equity, venture capital, or real estate. A SPAC, in contrast, raises capital on public markets to acquire a private company later. SPACs require regulatory filings with the SEC and typically serve large-scale transactions.

Allocations focuses on the private market, enabling smaller groups of investors to create compliant Delaware SPVs for focused investments. Through Allocations, users can structure their SPVs with full transparency, legal compliance, and professional SPV fund administration.

Using Allocations, sponsors avoid the complexity and cost of SPACs while achieving similar benefits — pooling investor capital for targeted deals with proper governance. With built-in tax reporting and automated filings, Allocations ensures every SPV remains compliant and efficient.
