Promoting Your Business
What do I need?
Simply put, we look at “People, Plan, and Pro Forma (financial projections)”. First, you need to be able to tell your story. This will be the basis of your campaign page.
Before you can raise funds with us, you will need to file a Form C with the SEC. This includes at least a 2-year independent financial review.
For more details on financials or our Legal Primer, contact us at help@vicinitycapital.com.
Advertising Your Raise
Crowdfunding cannot be done offline. All Reg CF investments are required to be made through a funding portal or a broker-dealer.
Using a “testing the waters” provision, you can start gauging interest in your offering. You can advertise through any means – newsletters, social media, Vicinity events, even smoke signals.
