Crowdfunding
A new funding method in France since late 2014, “crowdfunding” (funding from the general public; individuals) is a new funding method that helps to get a wide range of projects off the ground, drawing on monetary contributions from the general public, outside traditional funding channels. There are different forms of crowdfunding: donations (with or without counterparties); loans (with or without interest) and the purchase of equity or securities. Crowdfunding platforms are alternatives to conventional funding methods.
Depending on the project to be funded, crowdfunding can be combined with other funding methods, such as banking and investment funds. It may have a leverage effect, attracting other funders.
Crowdfunding offers the following key advantages:
- Speed and simplicity
- No collateral required
- deposit requested from the director
- Leverage effect and complementarity with other funding methods
- Testing your market and gaining credibility
- Gathering suggestions and enhancing your project
- Building your community
- Promotion.
Crowdfunding can also pose risks, particularly for the investor, but also for the project’s initiator, who must be in command of every detail of the various component parts, at the risk of their project not being funded. Crowdfunding is subject to specific practices and regulations that require specific support.
Seeking funding
Given the multiple funding sources, it is very difficult for you to quickly analyse and identify the best solutions for your business. Your Chartered Accountant will support you in this strategy, for the sustainable growth of your business, whether it’s strengthening your business’s financial structure, finding new investors, financing your production tool or your cash-flow. Being supported by your Chartered Accountant will put you on a sounder financial footing, and help you access the multiple funding options available more easily. Finally, as your trusted partner, your Chartered Accountant will deploy all their expertise, professionalism and network to help finance your projects.
Ask yourself the following questions:
- Have I evaluated the various funding needs of my business?
- How can my Chartered Accountant support me in this process?
- How can I improve my financial structure?
Your Chartered Accountant brings you the following solutions:
- They help you make decisions that are right for your projects and their funding, through their external perspective and professional vision.
- Their network and expertise are unanimously recognised by financiers. Their intervention substantially increases and secures your chances of accessing funding.
- They will analyse your financial structure and implement ways of strengthening it, if necessary, since a sound financial structure facilitates access to finance.
Our recommendations:
- Don’t underestimate the impact of funding in running your business
- Plan your development projects
- Reduce the risk of a poorly planned investment, funded through an inappropriate solution
- Anticipate cash-flow shortfalls
