Co-financing
What type of product is it?
Socio-financing, also known as "participatory financing" or "crowdfunding", is an internationally recognized source of funding. This type of financing raises funds from the general public and businesses via specialized Internet platforms such as Kickstarter, GoFundMe or LaRuche. In return for their contribution, investors receive a range of benefits, which can take the form of an exclusive product, a substantial discount on purchases or a VIP customer experience. This product is primarily aimed at start-ups and companies wishing to launch a new product.
What are the special features of this financial product?
- This financing model is strongly inspired by traditional underwriting.
- The concept favors the sale of a new product on pre-order, offering these buyers/investors exclusive advantages in return.
- The proceeds from pre-orders will be used to manufacture and market the product. It will then be delivered to the customers who participated in the campaign (fundraising).
What are the advantages of this type of financial product?
- This type of financing is considered low-risk, and allows you to collect funds in advance.
- When developing a new product, this financing also enables you to carry out market research.
