Crowdfunding
Profit-sharing financing through licensed platforms
Crowdfunding through licensed platforms now finances more than corporate bonds on Farabourse. We help you decide whether it fits, choose the platform and guarantor, prepare a file that passes review and run the round through to repayment.

Common questions
Is crowdfunding the same as selling shares?
No. Most rounds are profit-sharing financing for a specific project. Investors get a projected return, not ownership.
Do I need a guarantee?
In most cases, yes. The guarantee usually decides how fast the round closes and what it costs.
Which platform do you recommend?
It depends on the sector and size. We compare them for your case and have no stake in any platform's result.
