Posted: 22 October 2025 # Guide SMEs to Growth Through Crowd Sourced Funding #### Accountants Minute 429 Some people still believe that only **unlisted public companies** in Australia can raise capital direct from the public. **THIS IS A MYTH.** Since **2018**, both **private companies and unlisted public companies** that meet the eligibility requirements have been able to raise capital directly from the public under the **Crowd Sourced Funding (CSF) Equity Raising** framework. #### How It Began When the legislation was first introduced, it only permitted unlisted public companies to raise capital. The financial industry quickly pushed back – arguing that **private companies** also needed access to this capital-raising pathway. Within eight months, the law was amended. Australia was actually **playing catch-up**. By the time CSF legislation arrived here, similar frameworks were already active in **New Zealand, the UK, the USA, Canada, and Singapore**. ![am429covid](https://www.essbiztools.com.au/images/zoo/blogs/2025/am429covid.jpg) #### How Crowd Sourced Funding Works This legislation brought several important changes: ✅ Companies can raise capital **without preparing a prospectus**. ✅ The **Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC)** licenses **Crowd Sourced Funding Intermediaries** to act as official gatekeepers and promoters. ✅ These intermediaries have dual responsibilities – representing ASIC while helping companies attract investors. ✅ The intermediary ultimately decides whether a company is eligible to proceed with a raise. To qualify, companies must: ✅ Have **less than $25M** in turnover and assets ✅ Be **unlisted** ✅ Have at least **two (2) directors** ✅ Use funds for business growth (not to invest in securities or managed schemes) #### The Numbers So Far ![am429csfraised](https://www.essbiztools.com.au/images/zoo/blogs/2025/am429csfraised.jpg) The leading intermediaries include: ✅ Birchal (Melbourne) ✅ VentureCrowd (Sydney) ✅ OnMarket (Sydney) ✅ Venture Capital (Sydney) ✅ Swarmer (Adelaide) #### Where Accountants Fit In This is where **you** come in. Companies seeking capital through CSF rarely have internal expertise in financial systems, planning, or compliance. They **need accountants** who can guide them through: ✅ Structuring their business for compliance with CSF rules ✅ Implementing sound **financial and management systems** (such as the **52-Week Business Enhancement System**) ✅ Developing **Business Plans** **and Predictive Accounting Reports** – budgets, cashflows, and KPIs ✅ Holding **regular Board meetings** and producing meaningful financial reports ✅ Preparing the **Crowd Sourced Funding Offer Document**, which, while not a full prospectus, still demands significant detail ![am429advisory](https://www.essbiztools.com.au/images/zoo/blogs/2025/am429advisory.jpg) #### The Untapped Potential Despite being available for seven years, CSF is vastly underutilised. ✅ On average, fewer than **70 companies** per year raise capital through CSF. ✅ One intermediary, **Equitise**, reported turning away **95% of applicants** due to poor preparation. That’s hundreds of companies every year missing out – and a **huge opportunity** for accountants to step in and help them meet the standard. Imagine if every licensed intermediary was working with 49 companies annually (the current Birchal volume). That would be **784 businesses** - and hundreds more still in need of advisory support. #### The Opportunity for Your Firm If your firm wants to move **beyond compliance** and deliver **Financial, Commercial, and Management Accounting Advisory Services**, this is your moment. ![am429csfadvisory](https://www.essbiztools.com.au/images/zoo/blogs/2025/am429csfadvisory.jpg) Many firms say: *“We don’t know much about Crowd Sourced Funding.”* *“We haven’t done much advisory yet.”* *“Where will we get the resources to support these clients?”* That’s where **ESS BIZTOOLS** comes in.
