Crowdfunding / Group Funding

For businesses that want to raise support from a group of people, customers, supporters or potential investors.

Group funding can help a business raise smaller contributions from many people, or collect investment interest before a formal funding agreement is concluded.

Build the campaign before asking for support.

This workflow captures the story, target, funding type, public display preferences, media uploads, legal acknowledgement and campaign review consent needed before a profile can be published.

How it works
  • Business creates a campaign profile.
  • Business explains its story, target amount and use of funds.
  • Business chooses the type of funding interest.
  • Campaign may be displayed publicly after review.
  • Supporters or investors register interest.
  • No payments are processed through the site at this stage.
What funders/supporters want to know
  • Who is behind the business and what problem does it solve?
  • How much is needed and what will the money be used for?
  • What progress has the business made?
  • What is being offered in return?
  • What are the risks and how will supporters receive updates?
Funding types
  • Donation/support-based.
  • Reward-based.
  • Loan/repayment-based.
  • Equity/share-based.
  • Revenue-share-based.
  • Unsure, need guidance.
Documents/media that help
