Crowdfunding: The Future of Your Business?

Crowdfunding is a buzz word you’ve likely heard in the media as of recent, but what does it really mean? The crowdfunding movement is revolutionizing the way start-ups, and well established businesses, are financing their latest business ventures.

How it Works

Also referred to as equity crowdfunding, or hyper funding, the theory behind crowdfunding is simple: allow individuals and organizations to provide private funding for projects and business ventures. In decades past, organizations depended mainly on one of two funding sources: bank backed loans and venture capital. In the wake of the financial crisis that gripped the U.S. economy from 2007 to 2009, many businesses are unable to secure traditional business loans. Enter the crowdfunding movement.

ites like Kickstarter.com and RocketHub.com have been popping up in recent years. These sites are online portals designed to help those seeking funding to connect with those looking to invest. In the end, many projects that might not have been are taking flight and the companies behind them are subsequently gaining momentum.
