Setting up a Crowfunding application

Crowdfunding is an increasingly popular financing solution in Switzerland for entrepreneurs, startups and innovative projects. Thanks to participatory financing platforms, it is possible to raise funds from a broad public without going through traditional banking channels. Although crowdfunding is not Prestaflex Fribourg's specialty, we can also help you find conventional financing to structure your project in the best possible way.

1. Clearly defining your project

A well-structured project is essential to attract investors and contributors:

Define a precise objective: How much money do you want to raise, and for what purpose?
Identify the project's added value: Why is this project unique, and why should investors believe in it?
Develop an engaging story to capture the public's attention.

2. Choosing the right crowdfunding platform

In Switzerland, there are several platforms for raising funds, depending on the nature of the project:

Kickstarter & Indiegogo: For innovative and creative projects.
WeMakeIt: Swiss platform specializing in culture and innovation.
GoFundMe: Ideal for social and personal projects.
Raizers & BeeBonds: For entrepreneurial fundraising.

3. Structuring a solid dossier

A good crowdfunding dossier should include :

A punchy pitch that summarizes the project in a few lines.
A video presentation to engage investors.
A detailed business plan with profitability forecasts.
Counterparts offered to contributors, if applicable.

4. Develop an effective communications strategy

A successful campaign relies on good communication:

Presence on social networks (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, etc.).
Creation of a dedicated website or landing page.
Mobilization of an existing network (friends, family, potential customers).
Press relations and influencers to maximize visibility.

5. Legal and tax aspects of crowdfunding in Switzerland

Crowdfunding is subject to certain rules in Switzerland:

Tax declaration of funds raised, depending on the nature of the financing.
Regulations governing consideration and contractual terms.
Compliance with the legal framework for fundraising and investment.
