  8. Different models Donation based: Allows charities, or those who raise money for social or charitable projects, to gather a community online and to enable them to donate to a specific project. Reward based: Enables people to contribute to projects and receive non–financial rewards in return, usually operating a tiered system where the more you donate the better the reward you receive. £% Lending based:Projects or businesses seeking debt apply through the platform uploading their pitch, with members of the crowd taking small chunks of the overall loan. Equity based: Enables the crowd to invest for equity, or profit/revenue sharing in businesses or projects. This form of the model has been the slowest to grow due to regulatory restrictions that relate to this type of activity.

  11. How does crowdfunding add value?

  12. Harnessing people’s motivations to get worthwhile projects funded The direct connection between entrepreneur and the crowd gives the entrepreneurs the chance to appeal to investors’ motivations and interests as well as their wallets.

  13. Democratising funding and measuring demand in advance Crowdfunding is a powerful way of identifying what projects people want to see go ahead.

  14. Lower transaction costs - By giving investors more of a role in carrying out assessment, and automating more of the funding process, crowdfunding can reduce the transaction costs of getting capital to entrepreneurs, making financing cheaper.

  15. From mass production to personal production - Crowdfunding helps businesses serve a more diverse and personalised market, by backing what otherwise would fail to get funded.
