Crowdfunding For Business: What You Need To Know

 

Which Type of Crowdfunding is Right for Your Business?

It’s essential to understand the different forms of crowdfunding before selecting a specific approach. Crowdfunding can be executed as an equity offering, a reward offering, or a debt offering.

1. Equity Crowdfunding: When you opt for equity crowdfunding, investors expect to receive a share of your company in exchange for their investment. Companies seeking significant investments and are open to sharing ownership can benefit from this type of crowdfunding.

2. Reward-Based Crowdfunding: This type of crowdfunding is known as “reward-based crowdfunding.” Backers are offered a non-monetary reward for their contributions. If you have a physical good or service to provide, you can consider this model. The incentives range from exclusive early access to the product to limited edition merchandise and discounted prices.

3. Debt Crowdfunding: Debt crowdfunding, also called peer-to-peer lending, involves investors loaning money to a company with the expectation of receiving interest. Companies with a clear repayment strategy can benefit from this type of crowdfunding.
