How crowdfunding works

AS part of our service to our clients we at BFS are constantly looking to increase our range of finance options.

One of the more recent types of funding that has become available to SMEs goes under the general name of crowdfunding (or Peer2Peer Lending).

In simple terms crowdfunding is a form of alternative financing. It is the practice of funding a project or venture by raising monetary contributions from a large number of people. In other words, it is a vehicle through which businesses and individuals can invest, online, in other businesses and projects – so it is useful both to investors, and those who need investment.

Recently, we have realised, however, that, whilst many people have heard of crowdfunding as a means of financing businesses, many do not fully understand how it works. In view of this we will be holding an information event, with two or more of the UK’s leading crowdfunding operators, in Northampton starting at 4pm on Tuesday, 20 September.

The intention is to help interested parties to gain a better idea of what crowdfunding is about, how it works and who it benefits. So, whether you are an accountant, a lawyer or a business owner/manager, you are welcome to join us. Full details will be available shortly via social media and in the business press. Meanwhile, if you would like any more information, or would like to request an invitation to the event for yourself or any of your colleagues, contact us at or call us on 01327 349 779.

At Business Finance Services Ltd, we are committed to finding our clients the best and most appropriate funding packages available, tailored to their particular needs – from £10,000 to £10,000,000. For example, we are always keen to add to our panel of private investors to offer a wider range of opportunities to our clients.

So, if you, your clients or contacts are interested in being introduced to exciting and potentially lucrative business investment opportunities we would like to talk to you. We also provide business mentoring services and assist business owners in preparing their businesses for sale. If you need help in any of these areas do give us a call.
