Common questions

How much can I invest?
Retail investors can invest up to $10,000 per company in any 12 months in a crowd-sourced funding offer. Sophisticated investors (certificate required) aren't capped.
Where does my money go?
Into a trust account, never to the platform or the broker, until the raise completes.
Can I sell my shares later?
A secondary market is planned within regulatory limits, but liquidity is never guaranteed.
Is this financial advice?
No. Information on SME-SX is general in nature. Read the offer document and the risk warnings.
