Equal Access
Equivesto is focused on providing equity for all and giving access to both investors and business owners who were excluded from venture capital before. Learn more about why we do this here.
To do that, we have taken the time to help explain the process, and provide the tools and education necessary to introduce both investors and founders to equity crowdfunding.
Education
If you are looking for a space where you can come to learn more about investing, how to review companies, or how to prepare your own company to raise capital and expand, Equivesto is here to help.
We have a dedicated Learning Centre to help you get quick access to all the information you need. We have simplified the signup process for both companies and investors to help everyone get better access to great opportunities.
If there is a topic you want to learn more about and it isn’t covered, reach out at support@equivesto.com . We would be happy to discuss it with you immediately, and will work to add it to the Learning Centre quickly so it can also help others.
Low Minimum Investment
With our minimum investment of CAD $100 and no fees for investors, our focus is helping more people support and invest in great Canadian companies, while still balancing and minimizing the amount they risk doing so.
Security
We put your security and protection first. Equivesto makes understanding your personal situation our priority to help confirm that equity crowdfunding is right for you. You don’t get access to invest on the platform until both you and the Equivesto team are comfortable that you understand the risks and that equity crowdfunding is right for you.
Even though Equivesto has worked hard to simplify the complex investing process, we have not hidden or obscured important areas of discussion or review, specifically those around legal documents and risk.
Digital Process
Equivesto’s digital process provides all of the company’s information directly to the investor in a simple, straightforward way. With that being said, we still give you access to all of the detailed company documentation so you can truly understand the companies on our platform.
When deciding to invest, we make document signing simple by providing clear digital signing locations, and we keep detailed records that you can access at any time.
To protect investors on our platform, we do not allow investments to be purchased by credit card. This ensures that no one borrows money to buy risky long term investments, and that you do not rack up any credit card bills from investing. We do not let you invest unless you have the money.
To further protect your data, Equivesto does not keep any of your banking information within our system. When you invest, your bank account information is directly sent to our payment processing partner VersaPay, who has bank level security, and simply uses the information to process the fund transfer.
