Pay It Forward

Supporting businesses through the coronavirus crisis

We’re offering 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.

Our partners at Enterprise Nation are on hand to support business owners through this difficult time because if we all come together, we might just get through this.

Crowdfunder: the new home of the takeaway!

The spread of coronavirus has had a catastrophic effect on the hospitality industry around the UK, but we need to find a new way of working to build a sustainable economy over the coming weeks.

We know businesses want to trade, so Crowdfunder is connecting them with their loyal customers, allowing them to create a delivery service in the short-term.

By working together we can get through this, and Crowdfunder has a huge role to play in the fightback.
