Using IRA money to invest in private companies

Can a person use IRA money to invest in private companies?
thank you



Yes, but will need a self directed IRA custodian to hold the IRA. Person needs to be aware of prohibited transactions if any of these companies are owned by related parties.



Thank you Alan.Do you know of firms that allow self directed IRAs?  Seems like it is harder to find a custodian that will allow private investments.
