PROXY STATEMENT FOR ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

We are furnishing this proxy statement to stockholders of record as of the close of business on October 20, 2006 in connection with the solicitation of proxies by our Board of Directors for use at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on November 28, 2006. This proxy statement and the accompanying form of proxy are being mailed to the stockholders on or about November 8, 2006. Our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2005 (which does not form a part of the proxy solicitation materials) is being distributed concurrently herewith to stockholders. References in this proxy statement to “the Company,” “we,” “our,” and “us” refer to vFinance, Inc.

VOTING SECURITIES; PROXIES; REQUIRED VOTE

Voting Securities

At the Annual Meeting, each holder of record of common stock, par value $.01 per share (“Common Stock”), of the Company at the close of business on October 20, 2006 will be entitled to one vote for each share of Common Stock owned on that date as to each matter presented at the Annual Meeting. On October 20, 2006, 55,328,060 shares of Common Stock were outstanding.

Proxies

You cannot vote your shares at the Annual Meeting unless you are present in person or represented by proxy. All properly executed and unrevoked proxies in the accompanying form that are received in time for the meeting will be voted at the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof in accordance with instructions thereon, or, if no instructions are given, will be voted “FOR” the election of all of the named nominees as directors, “FOR” the amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation, “FOR” the ratification of Sherb & Co., LLP as our independent auditors, and in accordance with the judgment of the persons appointed as proxies with respect to other matters that properly come before the Annual Meeting. You may revoke a proxy by written notice to us at any time prior to exercise of the proxy. In addition, although mere attendance at the Annual Meeting will not revoke a proxy, you may withdraw your proxy by voting in person.

Voting Your Proxy

Whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, you may vote your shares via the Internet, telephone or mail as more fully described below:

	•		By Internet: Go to www.continentalstock.com and follow the instructions. Have your proxy card available.
	•		By Telephone: Call 1-866-894-0537 and follow the voice prompts. Have your proxy card available when you call.
	•		By Mail: If you have received a proxy card, mark your vote, sign your name exactly as it appears on your proxy card, date your card and return it in the envelope provided.

Required Vote

At the Annual Meeting, (1) a plurality of the votes cast in person or by proxy is required to elect directors (meaning that the two nominees receiving the highest number of “FOR” votes will be elected; and (2) the affirmative vote of holders of at least a majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares of Common Stock represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the meeting is required to (a) approve the amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation and (b) ratify the appointment of Sherb & Co., LLP as the independent auditors of our financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2006. Stockholders are not allowed to cumulate their votes in the election of directors. In voting on the election of directors, abstentions and broker non-votes (which occur when a broker holding shares for a beneficial owner does not vote on a particular proposal because the broker does not have discretionary voting power with respect to that item and has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner) will be disregarded and not treated as votes cast and, therefore, will not affect the outcome of the election. Abstentions will have the same effect as votes against the proposals to approve the amendment of the Certificate of Incorporation and ratify the appointment of Sherb & Co., LLP, but broker non-votes will not be counted as votes against such proposals or as shares present or represented and entitled to vote at the meeting.

Quorum

The required quorum for the transaction of business at the Annual Meeting will be a majority of the voting power of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding on the record date. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be included in determining the presence of a quorum.

PROPOSAL 1
ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Unless otherwise directed, the persons appointed in the accompanying form of proxy intend to vote at the Annual Meeting “FOR” the election of the two nominees named below as directors to serve until our next Annual Meeting of Stockholders or until their successors have been duly elected and qualified. If any nominee is unable to be a candidate when the election takes place, the shares represented by valid proxies will be voted in favor of such substitute nominee as our Board of Directors recommends or to allow the vacancy to remain open until filled by our Board of Directors, as our Board of Directors recommends. Our Board of Directors does not currently anticipate that either nominee will be unable to be a candidate for election.

Our Board of Directors currently has two members, both of whom are nominees for re-election. Each director will serve until the next Annual Meeting of Stockholders or until his successor has been duly elected and qualified, unless he dies, resigns or is removed from office prior to that time.

Recommendation of the Board of Directors

Our Board of Directors recommends that you vote “FOR” the election of both of the nominees listed above.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

We are required to identify each person who was an officer, director or beneficial owner of more than 10% of our registered equity securities during our most recently completed fiscal year and who failed to file on a timely basis reports required by Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”).

To our knowledge, based solely on our review of the copies of such reports received by us, and representations from certain reporting persons, we believe that, during the year ended December 31, 2005, our directors, executive officers and significant stockholders have timely filed the appropriate form under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, except Form 4s for Sheila C. Reinken (two filings), Timothy E. Mahoney (one filing) and Leonard J. Sokolow (one filing).

Corporate Governance

Pursuant to our Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, and By-laws, our business and affairs are managed under the direction of our Board of Directors. Members of our Board of Directors are kept informed of our business through discussions with senior management, by reviewing materials provided to them and by participating in meetings of the Board of Directors.

Our Board of Directors has determined that none of our directors is “independent” as such term is defined by the applicable listing standards of the Nasdaq Stock Market. Our Board of Directors based this determination on our directors employment relationships.

Our Board of Directors held 11 meetings in 2005, and each director who served as a director during 2005 attended more than 75% of the meetings of our Board of Directors and each of the committees on which he served.

We typically schedule a meeting of our Board of Directors in conjunction with our Annual Meeting and expect that both directors will attend, absent a valid reason, such as a scheduled conflict.

We do not have Audit, Nominating or Compensation Committee because our Board of Directors is made up of two directors. Accordingly, we do not have written charters for such committees.

Our full Board of Directors functions as our audit committee. During the year, our Board of Directors examined its composition in light of the applicable listing standards of the Nasdaq Stock Market and the regulations under the Exchange Act applicable to audit committees. Based upon this examination, our Board of Directors has determined that neither of its members is an “independent” director within the meaning of such listing standards and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. Both of our directors have experience with the financial management of a company and are familiar with the reports that are provided by management for the purpose of reporting the financial position of the business. Our Board of Directors has determined that Mr. Sokolow qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as that term is defined in the applicable regulations of the Exchange Act and the regulations thereunder.

Our full Board of Directors participates in the consideration of director nominees. Our Board of Directors makes decisions regarding the size and composition of our Board of Directors, establishes procedures for the nomination process, and elects candidates to our Board of Directors and our officers. Neither of the members of our Board of Directors is “independent,” as such term is defined by Section 121(A) of the Nasdaq Stock Market listing standards.

In considering candidates for our Board of Directors, our Board of Directors considers the entirety of each candidate’s credentials and does not have any specific minimum qualifications that must be met by a nominee. However, our Board of Directors does believe that all members of our Board of Directors should have the highest character and integrity, a reputation for working constructively with others, sufficient time to devote to Board matters, and no conflict of interest that would interfere with performance as a director.

Stockholders who wish to suggest qualified candidates should write to: Corporate Secretary, vFinance, Inc., 3010 North Military Trail, Suite 300, Boca Raton, Florida 33431. Such suggestion must specify the name of the candidates and state in detail the qualifications of such persons for consideration by our Board of Directors. A written statement from the candidate consenting to be named as a candidate and, if nominated and elected, to serve as a director should accompany any such recommendation. See “Deadline for Stockholder Proposals” contained herein.

We have adopted a Code of Ethics for our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, which Code of Ethics was filed as Exhibit 14 to our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003, and is herein incorporated by reference. If we make any substantive amendments to our Code of Ethics or grant any waiver, including any implicit waiver, from a provision of such code to our Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer, we will disclose the nature of such amendment or waiver in a report on Form 8-K.

Report of the Board of Directors

Our Board of Directors submits the following report for the year ended December 31, 2005:

The Board of Directors has reviewed and discussed with both management and the outside auditors the audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2005. The Board of Directors’ review included discussion with the outside auditors of matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, Communication with Audit Committees, as amended, by the Auditing Standards Board of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.

The Board of Directors has received the written disclosures and the letter from the independent auditors required by Independence Standard No. 1, Independence Discussions with Audit Committees, as amended, by the Independence Standards Board, and has discussed with the independent auditors matters relating to the auditors’ independence.

Based on the reviews and discussions referred to above, the Board of Directors decided that the audited consolidated financial statements referred to above be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

Submitted by the Board of Directors,

Leonard J. Sokolow

Employment Agreements

Effective January 1, 2006, we entered into new agreements (“Primary Employment Agreements”) to amend and restate certain employment agreements dated November 8, 1999 with each of Leonard J. Sokolow, our Chief Executive Officer and President, and Timothy E. Mahoney, our Chief Operating Officer and Chairman, as amended on January 5, 2001, July 2, 2001, January 7, 2002 and November 16, 2004. Under the terms of the Primary Employment Agreements, (i) Leonard J. Sokolow will receive an initial base salary of $343,511 per annum that will increase 5% per annum beginning January 1, 2007 and each year thereafter and (ii) Timothy E. Mahoney will receive an initial base salary of $283,394 per annum that will increase 5% per annum beginning on January 1, 2007. Our Board will review the base salary at least annually and may increase (but not decreased) the base salary from time to time. Further, each individual will receive discretionary bonuses, interim cash bonuses and/or other bonuses when and in such amounts as may be determined by our Board of Directors based on each individuals performance, our performance and/or other factors; provided that the Board shall meet at least annually to review employees’ bonus entitlements. Finally, each individual will receive incentive compensation which will be paid quarterly no later than the 45^th day following the end of the quarter primarily based on our performance and out respective subsidiaries. The Primary Employment Agreements have terms of three years and automatically extend for one year on each anniversary date thereafter unless we have provided a non-renewal notice thirty (30) days prior to an anniversary date as directed by a majority vote of our Board of Directors. The Primary Employment Agreements also contain provisions related to change of control.

Under the terms of an employment agreement with Alan B. Levin, our Interim Chief Financial Officer and Controller, Mr. Levin is entitled to an annual base salary of $135,000, plus certain incentive bonuses. No later than six months from July 24, 2006, if we convert Mr. Levin’s status from Interim Chief Financial Officer to Chief Financial Officer, then Mr. Levin’s annual base salary will increase to $165,000. In addition, we granted Mr. Levin five-year options to purchase 500,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.20 per share, of which 125,000 options vest on July 24, 2007 and 125,000 options vest each subsequent anniversary thereafter provided that Mr. Levin remains employed by us on the applicable vesting date. Mr. Levin’s employment is terminable at will. Upon a change of control in the Company, Mr. Levin’s options would vest immediately.

On November 2, 2004, we and vFinance Investments entered into an asset purchase agreement with Global Partners Securities, Inc. (“Global”) and a securities purchase agreement with Level2.com, Inc. (“Level2”). Pursuant to the terms of such agreements, the securities issued to Global and Level2 were deposited into escrow. After the securities were deposited into escrow, a dispute arose over the amount of shares of Common Stock and shares underlying warrants that were deposited into escrow and the value of such items. In connection with a settlement agreement dated November 7, 2006 among us, vFinance Investments, Global, Level2 and Edwards Angell Palmer & Dodge LLP (as escrow agent), the securities currently issued in the name of Global and Level2 will be cancelled. In lieu thereof, we will issue 3,288,253 and 3,288,252 shares of our Common Stock to Global and Level2, respectively. We will also issue warrants to purchase 1,303,393 and 1,303,392 shares of our Common Stock to Global and Level2, respectively.

In connection with the asset purchase agreement with Global and the securities purchase agreement with Level2, on November 2, 2004, we also entered into a standstill agreement with Marcos Konig, Harry Konig and Salomon Konig (collectively, the “Konigs”). Pursuant to this agreement, the Konigs agreed not to: (i) acquire material assets or securities of the Company or our subsidiaries; (ii) influence any person to vote in opposition to any matter recommended by our Board of Directors; (iii) be involved in any group with respect to our voting stock or the acquisition of our assets; (iv) enter into any voting arrangement with respect to our voting stock that would cause the Konigs to violate the standstill agreement; or (v) seek election or removal of a director is such action is opposed by the Board of Directors. If Global and Level2 assign their shares of Common Stock to Dennis de Marchena, Mr. de Marchena will be required to agree to be bound by the terms of this standstill agreement.

In connection with Sterling Financial Group of Companies, Inc.’s acquisition of our securities, on January 17, 2006, we and vFinance Investments entered into a voting and lockup agreement with Sterling Financial Investment Group, Inc., Sterling Financial Group of Companies, Inc., Charles Garcia, Leonard J. Sokolow and Timothy E. Mahoney. Pursuant to this agreement, Leonard J. Sokolow and Timothy E.

General

Our Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, currently provides for 75,000,000 shares of authorized Common Stock. In October 2006, our Board of Directors adopted a resolution to amend the Certificate of Incorporation to increase the authorized number of shares of Common Stock to 100,000,000, subject to stockholder approval of the amendment. No changes will be made to the number of authorized shares of our preferred stock.

The proposed amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation will be effected by deleting Article IV in its entirety and in lieu thereof inserting a new Article IV to reflect the increased number of authorized shares of Common Stock to read in full as follows:

The total number of shares of all classes of stock which the Corporation shall have the authority to issue is One Hundred Two Million Five Hundred Thousand (102,500,000) shares consisting of the following:

(A) Common Stock. The common stock of the Corporations shall consist of One Hundred Million (100,000,000) shares of Common Stock, par value $.01 per share. The holders of the Common Stock shall be entitled to one vote for each share on all matters required or permitted to be voted on by stockholders of the Corporation, and

(B) Preferred Stock. There may be authorized up to Two Million Five Hundred Thousand (2,500,000) shares of preferred stock, par value of $.01 per share, which may be created and issued from time to time, with such designations, preferences, conversion rights, cumulative, relative, participating, optional or other rights, including voting rights, qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof as shall be stated and expressed in the resolution or resolutions providing for the creation and issuance of such preferred stock as adopted by the Board of Directors pursuant to the authority in this paragraph given.

Purpose of Charter Amendment

As of October 20, 2006, we had 55,328,060 shares of Common Stock outstanding. In addition, as of such date, 7,074,589 shares were reserved for issuance upon exercise of presently outstanding warrants and 13,115,002 shares were reserved for issuance upon exercise of presently outstanding options. Based upon the foregoing number of outstanding and reserved shares of Common Stock, we have an insufficient number of shares to satisfy the full exercise of all outstanding warrants and options and no shares remaining available for other purposes.

The proposed increase in the number of shares available for issuance under the Certificate of Incorporation is intended to provide our Board of Directors with authority, without further action of the stockholders, to issue the additional shares of Common Stock, from time to time in such amounts as our Board of Directors deems necessary. Without limitation of the foregoing, the additional shares may be issued in connection with (1) capital raising transactions through the sale of Common Stock and/or securities convertible into or exercisable for Common Stock in the private and/or public equity markets to support a higher level of growth, respond to competitive pressures, develop new products and services and support new strategic partnership expenditures and (2) strategic partnering or acquisition transactions involving the issuance of our securities. We have no present plans, arrangements or understandings to issue additional shares.

In the absence of a proportionate increase in our earnings and book value, an increase in the aggregate number of outstanding shares of Common Stock caused by the issuance of the additional shares would dilute the earnings per share (including projected future earnings per share) and book value per share of all outstanding shares of our Common Stock. If such factors were reflected in the price per share of the Common Stock, the potential realizable value of a stockholder’s investment could be adversely affected. An issuance of additional shares of Common Stock could therefore have an adverse effect on the potential realizable value of a stockholder’s investment. The holders of outstanding shares of Common Stock do not have preemptive rights to purchase additional shares.

The proposed increase in the authorized number of shares of Common Stock could have other effects on our stockholders. The increase could deter takeovers, in that additional shares could be issued (within the limits imposed by applicable law) in one or more transactions that could make a change in control or takeover of us more difficult. For example, additional shares could be issued by us so as to dilute the stock ownership or voting rights of persons seeking to obtain control. Similarly, the issuance of additional shares to certain persons allied with our management could have the effect of making it more difficult to remove our current management by diluting the stock ownership or voting rights of persons seeking to cause such removal.

Recommendation of the Board of Directors

The Board of Directors recommends that you vote “FOR” the approval of the amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation.

Householding of Annual Meeting Materials

Some banks, brokers and other nominee record holders may be participating in the practice of “householding” proxy statements and annual reports. This means that only one copy of our proxy statement and annual report may have been sent to multiple stockholders in your household. We will promptly deliver a separate copy of either document to you if you notify our Secretary at our executive offices. If you wish to receive separate copies of the annual report and proxy statement in the future, or if you are receiving multiple copies and would like to receive only one copy for your household, you should contact your bank, broker or other nominee record holder, or you may contact us at our executive offices.

Financial Statements and Exhibits to Form 10-KSB

Our financial statements are contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for our fiscal year ended December 31, 2005 that was filed with the SEC on March 31, 2006, a copy of which is included with this proxy statement. Such report and the financial statements contained therein are not to be considered a part of this soliciting material.

The Form 10-KSB included with this proxy statement does not include copies of the exhibits to that filing. We will furnish any such exhibits upon payment of a reasonable fee by request sent to us, c/o Corporate Secretary, vFinance, Inc., 3010 North Military Trail, Suite 300, Boca Raton, Florida 33431.

Other Matters

Management knows of no matters that are to be presented for action at the meeting other than those set forth above. If any other matters properly come before the meeting, the persons named in the enclosed form of proxy will vote the shares represented by proxies in accordance with their judgment on such matters.

The cost of this proxy solicitation will be borne by us. In addition to the solicitation of proxies by mail, our directors, officers and employees may also solicit proxies by telephone, facsimile, e-mail or other forms of communication, without special compensation for such activities. We have engaged the firm of Innisfree, Inc. to assist us in the distribution and solicitation of proxies. We have agreed to pay Innisfree M&A Incorporated a fee of up to $10,000, plus expenses for these services. We will also request banks, brokers, fiduciaries, custodians, nominees and certain other record holders to send proxies, proxy statements and other materials to their principals at our expense. We will reimburse such banks, brokers, fiduciaries, custodians, nominees and other record holders for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of solicitation.
