Your opportunity to invest
Crowd-sourced funding is your chance to support the early-stage growth of companies with big ideas and big growth ambitions. For as little as $250 you can invest in your favourite companies and fast-scaling startups, and be part of the change that you want to see in the world.
Investment Stages
Birchal campaigns have two key stages – the Expression of Interest (EOI) Campaign and the Offer Campaign – to help you get to know the company and its goals, chat to founders, and learn about the terms of the investment. Stage three - Settlement - is then when you receive your shares and officially become an owner in the company.
Stage 1 • EOI
Expressing Interest
An EOI is a non-binding expression of interest to invest in the company.
During the EOI Campaign you can deep dive into the business, check out the company’s profile, pitch video and hear from the founder. By expressing interest at this stage, you benefit from:
- Priority access to the offer when it opens for investors
- Live founder updates
- Invitation to investor Q&A webinar
- Direct messaging to founders
It also helps reduce your chance of missing out on fast-moving deals that can reach their max funding targets during the priority access period!
Stage 2 • The Offer
Becoming an Investor
Now is your chance to invest. Once the EOI is closed, the company moves to Offer stage. Here, you can review the key terms of the offer in the crowd-sourced funding offer document, and apply for shares in the company.
Once a company hits its minimum funding target, the campaign is now ‘funded’. The company will continue to accept applications for shares until reaching its maximum target, or until the set close date of the campaign (whichever comes first).
Always consider the general CSF risk warning and offer document before investing.
Stage 3 • Settlement
Getting your shares
Once the offer closes and the company has met its minimum subscription amount, all approved investments will be processed and we will commence the settlement process. This is when:
- we will collect payment for your investment applications
- the company will issue the shares (and share certificates) to you, as an investor, usually via an online share registry.
Congratulations, you're officially a shareholder!
As a shareholder, you will be kept updated directly by the company in their shareholder updates and the Annual Financial Report & Directors' Report.
