Starting a crowdfunding business in Canada presents a promising opportunity, especially with the growth of equity crowdfunding under supportive regulatory frameworks like NI 45-110 and FFBA (Fully Funded Business Activities). If you’re looking to enter this market, Fundraising script offers a white-label crowdfunding software solution designed to simplify compliance, platform management, and investor engagement.
Step-by-Step Guide to Launching Your Crowdfunding Business in Canada
1. Understand the Regulatory Framework (NI 45-110 & FFBA)
NI 45-110 (National Instrument 45-110) governs equity crowdfunding exemptions in Canada. It allows eligible Canadian companies to raise funds from the public without a prospectus, provided they use a registered funding portal and comply with offering limits and disclosure requirements.
FFBA relates to businesses that are fully funded or operational but looking to expand via crowdfunding. Compliance with FFBA ensures investor protection and business credibility.
