Did you see our invitation in your in-box? No, it’s not YFC’s birthday… Rather than an invitation to party with us, we sent an invitation for you to grow with us, as a company. And quite frankly, we are just as excited as if it were our birthday party!
The invitation is an opportunity for you to invest money in YFC - so we can take the business to the next level, and beyond. We have BIG dreams, and we need help to realise them. We’ve chosen to raise capital through crowdfunding.
Umm… What is crowdfunding, exactly?
Crowdfunding refers to the use of small amounts of capital (e.g. money) from a large number of individuals (like a crowd, that’s you) to finance a new business venture (like YFC, that’s us). And when we say ‘small amounts of capital’ we mean just that - you can invest with as little as $250.
For more info, check out The Complete Guide to Equity Crowdfunding.
Return on Your Investment
Once you own a stake in a business via equity crowdfunding, you could get returns when the business:
- Is acquired by another company
- Pays dividends to shareholders
- Floats or lists on the stock exchange
But I’m not an investor, I’m just a customer or producer…
Firstly, you’re neverjust a customer to us! But really, our loyal customers are exactly the people we want to have onTeam YFC. You already know us, our products and what we do. Better still, we reckon that you’ve likely hung around us as a customer for long enough to be on the same page with our big, hairy audacious WHY we do what we do (saving the planet, no biggie). So it’s peopleexactlylike you we want on board.

Remember, It’s a Risky Business
Full disclosure - like any investment, Crowd-Sourced Funding (CSF) is risky. Investors (that’s you) may lose their money and the business (that’s us) may not achieve its objectives. You should consider the CSF offer document and the general CSF risk warning contained in the offer document in deciding whether to apply under the offer.
So Excited, We Just Can’t Hide It
We are pumped to invite you along for the next part of our journey, should you wish to join us. But whether you decide to grow with us or not, we are excited about the future and so grateful to all the YFC friends (like you) that support us by buying local week in and week out. :)
