  2. Section: a part or division of a legal document or statute.

For example, a startup that wants to go public and sell shares of its stock to investors must file an S-1 form with the SEC. The form requires the company to disclose detailed information about its business, financials, management team, and risks associated with investing in its securities.

Other SEC forms related to securities registration include Forms SB-1 and SB-2, which are used by smaller enterprises.
