Access to finance remains one of the most difficult hurdles for SMEs to navigate. There is no shortage of ideas for entrepreneurs across the country and every single day more people are on the path to building companies with products and services aimed at improving customer experience and satisfaction. However, one factor that affects a company’s ability to grow, is its ability to make relevant investments in branding, product development, marketing, and staffing.

One method of financing that is proving to be efficient is Equity Financing that is the method of raising capital by selling company stock to investors. In return for the investment, the shareholders receive ownership interests in the company. Through the SME Portal, members are able to list their projects and receive financing from other members of the portal.
