How it works

Crowdcube is a funding platform for UK businesses. Everyday thousands of people check out pitches on Crowdcube looking for investment opportunities.  They might want to back their friends’ idea, be customers keen to support a business they admire, or strangers eager to help a start-up or business become a success.

                               
     


Risks of investing in start-ups

Investing in start-ups and early stage businesses involves risks, including illiquidity, lack of dividends, loss of investment and dilution, and it should be done only as part of a diversified portfolio.  Crowdcube is targeted exclusively at investors who are sufficiently sophisticated to understand these risks and make their own investment decisions. You will only be able to invest via Crowdcube once you are registered as sufficiently sophisticated. Please click here to read the full Risk Warning.
