What is Equity Crowd-Sourced Funding (CSF)?

Equity crowd-sourced funding (CSF) is a way for companies to raise capital by offering equity (ownership) in their business to a large number of retail and sophisticated investors in return for a cash investment.

In Australia this process occurs through an online licenced intermediary/platform (SME CrowdFunder) who presents the offers online. The role of SME CrowdFunder is to ensure all offers listed on our platform undergo stringent checks (‘gatekeeper’ obligations) and we have provisions to handle all investment money to ensure our investors are protected.
