This
prospectus covers the sale of an aggregate of 3,157,896 shares (the “shares”) of our common stock, $0.086 par value per share
(the “common stock”) by one selling securityholder identified in this prospectus (together with any of the holder’s
transferees, pledgees, donees or successors, the “Selling Securityholder”), consisting of up to 3,157,896 shares
of common stock issuable upon the exercise of 897,594 warrants (the “Prefunded Warrants”), and up to 2,105,264 shares
of common stock are issuable upon the exercise of 2,105,264 warrants (the “Common Warrants”) and 155,038 shares of common
stock we issued to the Selling Securityholder (the “Issued Shares”). The Issued Shares, Prefunded Warrants and Common Warrants
were purchased by the selling securityholder in a private placement transaction exempt from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement dated March 13, 2023
(the “Purchase Agreement”). Each Prefunded Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise
price of $0.001 per share and each Common Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price
of $3.55 per share. We are registering the resale of the shares of common stock covered by this prospectus as required by a Registration
Rights Agreement we entered into with the selling securityholder pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement. For purposes of this
prospectus, we have exercise price under the Prefunded Warrants of $0.001 per share and an assumed exercise price under the
Common Warrants of $3.55 per share of common stock, respectively.
The
Company will not receive any proceeds from the sale by the Selling Securityholder of the shares, however, we will receive proceeds
from the exercise of the Prefunded Warrants and the Common Warrants if they are exercised for cash. We intend to use those proceeds,
if any, for general corporate purposes. We are paying the cost of registering the shares covered by this prospectus as well as various
related expenses, including with regard to compliance with state securities or “blue sky” laws. The Selling Securityholder
is responsible for all selling commissions, transfer taxes and other costs related to the offer and sale of the shares.
Sales
of the shares by the Selling Securityholder may occur at fixed prices, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices
related to prevailing market prices, or at negotiated prices. The Selling Securityholder may sell shares to or through underwriters,
broker-dealers or agents, who may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the Selling Securityholder,
the purchasers of the shares, or both. If required, the number of shares to be sold, the public offering price of those shares, the
names of any underwriters, broker-dealers or agents and any applicable commission or discount will be included in a supplement to this
prospectus, called a prospectus supplement. Because all of the shares offered under this prospectus are being offered by the Selling
Securityholder, we cannot currently determine the price or prices at which the shares may be sold under this prospectus.
Our
common stock is currently quoted on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “RELI”. On September 6, 2023, the
last reported sale price per share of our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market was $2.40. You are urged to obtain

Business
Overview
Reliance
Global Group, Inc. (formerly known as Ethos Media Network, Inc.) was incorporated in Florida on August 2, 2013. In September 2018, Reliance
Global Holdings, LLC, a related party (“Reliance Holdings”), purchased a controlling interest in the Company. Ethos Media
Network, Inc. was renamed Reliance Global Group, Inc. on October 18, 2018.
We
operate as a company managing assets in the insurance markets, as well as other related sectors. Our focus is to grow the Company by
pursuing an aggressive acquisition strategy, initially and primarily focused upon wholesale and retail insurance agencies. We are led
and advised by a management team that offers over 100 years of combined business expertise in insurance, real estate and the financial
service industry.
In
the insurance sector, our management has extensive experience acquiring and managing insurance portfolios in several states, as well
as developing specialized programs targeting niche markets. Our primary strategy is to identify specific risk to reward arbitrage opportunities
and develop these on a national platform, thereby increasing revenues and returns, and then identify and acquire undervalued wholesale
and retail insurance agencies with operations in growing or underserved segments, expand and optimize their operations, and achieve asset
value appreciation while generating interim cash flows.
As
part of our growth and acquisition strategy, we are currently in negotiations with several non-affiliated parties and expect to complete
a number of material insurance asset transactions throughout the course of 2023 and beyond. As of June 30, 2023, we have acquired
nine insurance agencies, including both affiliated and unaffiliated companies. During 2022, the Company acquired multiple insurance
entities, most notably, Barra & Associates, LLC., an unaffiliated full-service insurance agency, which we rebranded to RELI Exchange
and expanded its footprint nationally.
The
Company also developed and launched 5MinuteInsure.com (“5MI”), a proprietary direct to consumer InsurTech platform which
went live during the summer of 2021. 5MI is a business to consumer website which enables consumers to compare and purchase car and home
insurance in a time efficient and effective manner. The platform is currently live in 46 states and offers coverage with up to
30 insurance carriers.
Over
the next 12 months, we plan to expand and grow our footprint and market share both through organic growth, and by expansion through additional
acquisitions in various insurance markets.
Our
competitive advantage includes the ability to:
| |
● |
Scale
to compete at a national level. |
| |
● |
Capitalize
on the consumer shift to ‘online’ with the personal touch of an agent, as the only InsurTech company with this combination. |
| |
● |
Leverage
proprietary agency software and automation to compare carrier prices, for competitive renewal pricing. |
| |
● |
Employ
an empowered and scalable insurance agency model. |
| |
● |
Leverage
technology that facilitates comparing carriers for the best prices. |
The
RELI Exchange B2B InsurTech platform and partner network for insurance agents and agencies also:
| |
● |
Boast
being the only white label insurance brokerage agency – New agents can have a multi-million dollar agency look on day 1, with
a full suite of back office support (licensing, compliance, etc). |
| |
● |
Combines
the low barriers to entry of an agency network, with state-of-the-art tech. |
| |
● |
Builds
on the artificial intelligence and data mining backbone of 5MinuteInsure.com |
| |
● |
Is
designed to provide instant and competitive insurance quotes from more than thirty insurance carriers nationwide. |
| |
● |
Reduces
back-office burden and expenses by eliminating paperwork. |
| |
● |
Provides
agents more time to focus on selling policies. |
In
addition, we have a vast mentorship program behind the scenes, to keep sales teams active. Once people are registered, we enroll them
in our mentorship program, and coach them to bring new business.
RELI
Exchange is a complete, private label system where agents have more flexibility in how they choose to brand themselves, compared to competitor
platforms that require agents to work under the platform’s brand name. In effect, agents have a greater sense of ownership on our
platform, and the feeling that comes with a well-financed agency.
Our
best-in-class product offerings include the following:
| |
1) |
An
agency partner contract |
| |
|
|
| |
2) |
An
agent / pro contract |
Our
value proposition is that we’re giving people a complete, white label business. Agents have a fast and easy website presence, get
contracts with carriers they wouldn’t normally access, and they can get paid for referrals.
Risks
Relating to Our Business
We
have been expanding our business by acquiring wholesale and retail insurance agencies in select markets in the U.S. In addition, we operate
the RELI Exchange and 5MinuteInsure.com, proprietary internet based platforms we developed as business to business
or business to consumer portals enabling agents and consumers to compare quotes from multiple carriers and sell
and purchase their auto, home and life insurance coverage in a time efficient and effective manner. Our business and
ability to execute our business strategy are subject to a number of risks of which you should be aware before you decide to buy our common
stock. In particular, you should consider the risks discussed in detail in the section entitled “Risk Factors” including
but not limited to:
| |
● |
We
may experience significant fluctuations in our quarterly and annual results. |
| |
|
|
| |
● |
We
have limited resources and there is significant competition for business combination opportunities. Therefore, we may not be able
to acquire other assets or businesses. |
| |
|
|
| |
● |
We
may be unable to obtain additional financing, if required, to complete an acquisition, or for our operations and growth of existing
and target business, which could compel us to restructure a potential business transaction or abandon a particular business combination. |
| |
● |
Our
cash and cash equivalents that we use to meet our working capital and operating expense needs are held in deposit accounts that could
be adversely affected if the financial institution holding such funds fail. |
| |
|
|
| |
● |
Our
inability to retain or hire qualified employees, as well as the loss of any of our executive officers, could negatively impact our
ability to retain existing business and generate new business. |
| |
|
|
| |
● |
Our
growth strategy depends, in part, on the acquisition of other insurance intermediaries, which may not be available on acceptable
terms in the future or which, if consummated, may not be advantageous to us. |
| |
|
|
| |
● |
A
cybersecurity attack, or any other interruption in information technology and/or data security and/or outsourcing relationships,
could adversely affect our business, financial condition and reputation. |
| |
|
|
| |
● |
Rapid
technological change may require additional resources and time to adequately respond to dynamics, which may adversely affect our
business and operating results. |
| |
|
|
| |
● |
Changes
in data privacy and protection laws and regulations, or any failure to comply with such laws and regulations, could adversely affect
our business and financial results. |
| |
|
|
| |
● |
Because
our insurance business is highly concentrated in certain states, adverse economic conditions, natural disasters, or regulatory
changes in these states could adversely affect our financial condition. |
| |
|
|
| |
● |
If
we fail to comply with the covenants contained in certain of our agreements, our liquidity, results of operations and financial condition
may be adversely affected. |
| |
|
|
| |
● |
Certain
of our agreements contain various covenants that limit the discretion of our management in operating our business and could prevent
us from engaging in certain potentially beneficial activities. |
| |
|
|
| |
● |
We
may experience increased competition from insurance companies, technology companies and the financial services industry, as well
as the shift away from traditional insurance markets. |
| |
|
|
| |
● |
Risks
related to our lack of knowledge in distant geographic markets. |
| |
|
|
| |
● |
We
compete in a highly regulated industry, which may result in increased expenses or restrictions on our operations. |
| |
|
|
| |
● |
We
are subject to a variety of federal, state and international laws and other obligations regarding data protection. |
| |
|
|
| |
● |
Changes
in tax laws could materially affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. |
| |
|
|
| |
● |
Expectations
of our company relating to environmental, social and governance factors may impose additional costs and expose us to new risks. |

Prefunded
Warrants. Each Prefunded Warrant will be exercisable for one share of common stock
at an exercise price of $0.001 per share following the issue date until exercised in full.
The Prefunded Warrants may be exercised by means of a “cashless exercise” at
the holder’s option, such that the holder may use the appreciated value of the Prefunded
Warrants (the difference between the market price of the underlying shares of common stock
and the exercise price of the underlying Prefunded Warrants) to exercise the warrants without
the payment of any cash.
Common
Warrants. Each Common Warrant will be exercisable for one share of common stock at an exercise price of $3.55 per share six
months following the issue date and will expire five and one-half years from the issue date. In the event that there is no effective
registration statement registering the shares underlying the Common Warrants, then, under certain circumstances, the Common
Warrants may be exercised by means of a “cashless exercise” at the holder’s option, such that the holder may use
the appreciated value of the Common Warrants (the difference between the market price of the underlying shares of common stock and
the exercise price of the underlying warrants) to exercise the Common Warrants without the payment of any cash. |

Prefunded Warrants and the Common Warrants by the selling securityholder to purchase the 897,594 shares of common stock being registered
hereby at an exercise price of $0.001 per share of common stock and 2,105,264 shares of common stock being registered hereby at an
exercise price of $3.55 per share. However, in the event the Prefunded Warrants and Common Warrants may be exercised on a
cashless basis, we would not expect to receive any gross proceeds from the cash exercise of those warrants. We intend to use any
net proceeds from the cash exercise of these warrants for working capital, non-secured debt payments and general corporate
purposes. |

USE
OF PROCEEDS
We
are registering 155,038 shares of common stock for resale by the selling securityholder. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale
of the shares offered by this prospectus.
However,
we expect to receive approximately $7,474,000 in gross proceeds assuming the cash exercise of all of the Prefunded Warrants and the Common
Warrants by the selling securityholder to purchase the 897,594 shares of common stock being registered hereby by the selling securityholder
at an exercise price of $0.001 per share of common stock and 2,105,264 shares of common stock being registered hereby at an exercise

DIVIDEND

among other factors, our results of operations, financial condition, capital requirements and any contractual restrictions.
SELLING
SECURITYHOLDER
We
have prepared this prospectus to allow Armistice Capital Master Fund Ltd., as selling securityholder, to offer for resale, from
time to time, up to 3,157,896 shares of our common stock, of which up to 897,594 shares are issuable upon the exercise of 897,594 Prefunded
Warrants (as defined below) held by the selling securityholder, up to 2,105,264 shares issuable upon the exercise of 2,105,264 Common
Warrants (as defined below) held by the selling securityholder and 155,038 shares of common stock we issued to the selling securityholder
(the “Issued Shares”).
On
March 13, 2023, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with the selling securityholder, which is an institutional accredited
investor (the “Purchase Agreement”), whereby, among other things, the Company issued and sold (i) an aggregate of 155,038
shares of common stock along with accompanying common warrants (the “Common Units”), (ii) prefunded warrants (the “Prefunded
Warrants”) that are exercisable into 897,594 shares of common stock (the “Prefunded Warrant Shares”) along with accompanying
common warrants (the “Pre-Funded Units”), and (iii) common warrants (the “Common Warrants”) to initially acquire
up to 2,105,264 shares of common stock (the “Common Warrant Shares”) (representing 200% of the Common Shares and Prefunded
Warrant Shares) in a private placement offering (the “Private Placement”).
The
aggregate purchase price for the common shares, Prefunded Warrants and the Common Warrants purchased by the investor was equal to (i)
$3.80 for each Common Unit purchased, or (ii) $3.799 for each Prefunded Unit purchased.
Each
Prefunded Warrant will be exercisable for one share of common stock at an exercise price of $0.001 per share following the issue date
until exercised in full. The Prefunded Warrants may be exercised by means of a “cashless exercise” at the holder’s
option, such that the holder may use the appreciated value of the Prefunded Warrants (the difference between the market price of the
underlying shares of common stock and the exercise price of the underlying Prefunded Warrants) to exercise the warrants without the payment
of any cash.
Each
Common Warrant will be exercisable for one share of common stock at an exercise price of $3.55 per share six months following the issue
date and will expire five and one-half years from the issue date. In the event that there is no effective registration statement registering
the shares underlying the Common Warrants, then the Common Warrants may be exercised by means of a “cashless exercise” at
the holder’s option, such that the holder may use the appreciated value of the Common Warrants (the difference between the market
price of the underlying shares of common stock and the exercise price of the underlying warrants) to exercise the Common Warrants without
the payment of any cash.
The
warrants and the shares of common stock issuable thereunder were sold and issued without registration under the Securities Act of 1933,
in reliance on the exemptions provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act as transactions not involving a public offering and Rule
506 promulgated under the Securities Act as sales to accredited investors.
The
selling securityholder listed in the table below may from time to time offer and sell any or all shares of our common stock set forth
below pursuant to this prospectus. When we refer to “selling securityholder” in this prospectus, we mean the person listed
in the table below, and the pledgees, donees, permitted transferees, assignees, successors and others who later come to hold any of the
selling securityholder’ interests in shares of our common stock other than through a public sale.
The
following table sets forth, as of the date of this prospectus, the name of the selling securityholder for whom we are registering shares
for resale to the public, and the number of such shares that each such selling securityholder may offer pursuant to this prospectus.
Applicable percentages are based on 2,126,348 shares of common stock outstanding on September 7, 2023.
Under the terms of the Common Warrants
and Prefunded Warrants held by the selling securityholder, the selling securityholder may not exercise any such warrants to the extent
such exercise would cause such selling securityholder, together with its affiliates and attribution parties, to beneficially own a number
of shares of common stock which would exceed 4.99% or 9.99%, as applicable, of our then outstanding common stock following such exercise,
excluding for purposes of such determination shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of such warrants which have not been exercised.
The number of shares in the table below do not reflect this limitation. The selling securityholder may sell all, some or none of their
shares in this offering. See “Plan of Distribution.”
We
cannot advise as to whether the selling securityholder will in fact sell any or all of such shares. In addition, the selling securityholder
may have sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of, or may sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of, at any time and from time to time,
the shares in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act after the date on which they provided the
information set forth on the table below.

Armistice Capital, LLC, 510 Madison Avenue, 7th Floor, New York, NY 10022. As of the date of this filing, Master Fund currently

warrants issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement that are exercisable into 897,594 shares of Common Stock, and (iv) common warrants

shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise of the Series B Warrants, 897,594 shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise
of the Prefunded Warrants, and 2,105,264 shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise of the Common Warrants. |

The selling securityholder may sell all
or a portion of the shares of common stock held by them and offered hereby from time to time directly or through one or more underwriters,
broker-dealers or agents. If the shares of common stock are sold through underwriters or broker-dealers, the selling
securityholder will be responsible for underwriting discounts or commissions or agent’s commissions. The shares of
common stock may be sold in one or more transactions at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of the sale,
at varying prices determined at the time of sale or at negotiated prices. These sales may be effected in transactions, which may

in
the over-the-counter market; |
| |
|
|
| |

● |
a
combination of any such methods of sale; and |
| |
|
|
| |
● |

The
selling securityholder may also sell shares of common stock under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended, if available, rather than under this prospectus. In addition, the selling stockholder may transfer the shares
of common stock by other means not described in this prospectus. If the selling stockholder effect such transactions by selling
shares of common stock to or through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, such underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may receive
commissions in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling securityholder or commissions from purchasers
of the shares of common stock for whom they may act as agent or to whom they may sell as principal (which discounts, concessions
or commissions as to particular underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may be in excess of those customary in the types of transactions
involved. The selling securityholder may, from time to time, pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the warrants or
shares of common stock owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured
parties may offer and sell the shares of common stock from time to time pursuant to this prospectus or any amendment to
this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act amending, if necessary, the list of selling
securityholder to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling securityholder under this prospectus. The
selling securityholder also may transfer and donate the shares of common stock in other circumstances in which case the transferees,
donees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.
To
the extent required by the Securities Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, the selling stockholder and any broker-dealer participating
in the distribution of the shares of common stock will be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities
Act, and any commission paid, or any discounts or concessions allowed to, any such broker-dealer may be deemed to be underwriting commissions
or discounts under the Securities Act. At the time a particular offering of the shares of common stock is made, a prospectus supplement,
if required, will be distributed, which will set forth the aggregate amount of shares of common stock being offered and the terms of
the offering, including the name or names of any broker-dealers or agents, any discounts, commissions and other terms constituting compensation
from the selling stockholder and any discounts, commissions or concessions allowed or re-allowed or paid to broker-dealers.
Under
the securities laws of some states, the shares of common stock may be sold in such states only through registered or licensed brokers
or dealers. In addition, in some states the shares of common stock may not be sold unless such shares have been registered or qualified
for sale in such state or an exemption from registration or qualification is available and is complied with.
There
can be no assurance that the selling securityholder will sell any or all of the shares of common stock registered pursuant to the registration
statement, of which this prospectus forms a part.
The
selling securityholder and any other person participating in such distribution will be subject to applicable provisions of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder, including, without limitation, to the extent applicable,
Regulation M of the Exchange Act, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the shares of common stock by the selling
stockholder and any other participating person. To the extent applicable, Regulation M may also restrict the ability of any person engaged
in the distribution of the shares of common stock to engage in market-making activities with respect to the shares of common stock. All
of the foregoing may affect the marketability of the shares of common stock and the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making
activities with respect to the shares of common stock.
We
will pay all expenses of the registration of the shares of common stock pursuant to the registration rights agreement, estimated to be
$29,873.08 in total, including, without limitation, Securities and Exchange Commission filing fees and expenses of compliance with state
securities or “blue sky” laws; provided, however, a selling stockholder will pay all underwriting discounts and selling commissions,
if any. We will indemnify the selling stockholder against liabilities, including some liabilities under the Securities Act in accordance
with the registration rights agreement or the selling stockholder will be entitled to contribution. We may be indemnified by the selling
stockholder against civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act that may arise from any written information furnished
to us by the selling stockholder specifically for use in this prospectus, in accordance with the related registration rights agreements
or we may be entitled to contribution.
Once
sold under the registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part, the shares of common stock will be freely tradable in the
hands of persons other than our affiliates.

of options.
The
Plan is administered by the Board of Directors (the “Board”). The Board is authorized to select from among eligible employees,
directors, and service providers those individuals to whom shares and options are to be granted and to determine the number of shares
to be subject to, and the terms and conditions of the options. The Board is also authorized to prescribe, amend, and rescind terms relating

are eligible to receive options which are not ISOs, i.e. “Non-Statutory Stock Options.” The options granted by the Board
in connection with its adoption of the Plan were Non-Statutory Stock Options.
The
fair value of each option granted is estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model or the value of the services
provided, whichever is more readily determinable. The Black-Scholes option pricing model takes into account, as of the grant date, the
exercise price and expected life of the option, the current price of the underlying stock and its expected volatility, expected dividends
on the stock and the risk-free interest rate for the term of the option.

compensation expense relating to the stock options granted to employees, directors, and consultants. As of December 31, 2021, unrecognized
compensation expense totaled $195,746 which will be recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period or requisite service
period through February 2024.
The
intrinsic value is calculated as the difference between the market value and the exercise price of the shares on December 31, 2021. The
market value as of December 31, 2021 was $96.60 based on the closing bid price for December 31, 2021.
The
Company estimated the fair value of each stock option on the grant date using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Black-Scholes option-pricing
models require the Company to make predictive assumptions regarding future stock price volatility, recipient exercise behavior, and dividend
yield. The Company estimated the future stock price volatility using the historical volatility over the expected term of the option.
The expected term of the options was computed by taking the mid-point between the vesting date and expiration date. The following assumptions
were used in the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, not accounting for the reverse splits:

A Warrants

conjunction with the Company’s initial public offering, the Company issued 138,000 Series A Warrants which were classified
as equity warrants because of provisions, pursuant to the warrant agreement, that permit the holder obtain a fixed number of shares for
a fixed monetary amount. The warrants are standalone equity securities that are transferable without the Company’s consent or knowledge.
The warrants were recorded at a value per the offering of $0.15. The warrants may be exercised at any point from the effective date until
the 5-year anniversary of issuance and are not subject to standard antidilution provisions. After taking into account warrant exercises,
there were 113,000 Series A warrants outstanding as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.
Series
B Warrants
The
Series B Warrants are exercisable commencing on the date of issuance and expire five years from the date of issuance. Pursuant to the
terms of the SPA, during the quarter ended June 30, 2023, the Series B Warrants’ effective exercise price reset to $2.50,
subject to customary adjustments for stock dividends, stock splits, reclassifications and the like, and subject to price-based adjustment
in the event of any issuances of Common Stock, or securities convertible, exercisable or exchangeable for, Common Stock, at a price below
the then-applicable exercise price (subject to certain exceptions). If a registration statement registering the issuance of the shares
of Common Stock underlying the warrants under the Securities Act is not effective or available and an exemption from registration under
the Securities Act is not available for the issuance of such shares, the holder may, in its sole discretion, elect to exercise the warrant
through a cashless exercise, in which case the holder would receive upon such exercise the net number of shares of Common Stock determined
according to the formula set forth in the warrant. As of June 30, 2023, there remain 1,331,667 Series B Warrants outstanding.
For
