100% free fundraising for your business during the coronavirus crisis
Our partners at Enterprise Nation will also be providing access to free training and support for business with online sales, marketing and finance.
During lockdown we are unable to support the small businesses we love in our communities. That's a new kind of challenge for traders who rely on a regular flow of income to pay salaries or rent, for example.
But businesses are fighting back and many are now generating advanced sales of their goods or services to ease the immediate pressure.
Others are diversifying into takeaways to serve their loyal customers. It's called Pay It Forward and Crowdfunder is making it 100% fee-free during the crisis.
How it works
Step 1
First things first, tell us the name of your business
Step 2
What makes your business so special? Tell your story for your page
Step 3
What can you pre-sell and deliver after the crisis? We call these rewards
Step 4
Next add your payment details so that you can receive the money you need
Step 5
Now spread the word. Rally your supporters behind your business
Step 6
We're all in this together so share Crowdfunder with other businesses
