Birchal

Making it easier to

raise capital

Why let your community invest?

Community investing through the Crowd-sourced funding (CSF) regime provides a fantastic way to raise capital for your business while broadening your pool of potential investors. While raising from a large number of retail and wholesale investors, you are also able to build a community of brand ambassadors who have a vested interest in your success.

The Birchal platform offers dedicated support, a market-leading team of experts, and an unmatched investor community ready to back you. From zero waste products to flying taxis, we're here to propel your business to the next level, no matter your current stage or mission.
