New Investment Opportunities New doors open for New Jersey residents looking for high-growth, high-return investments

For New Jersey residents looking for investment opportunities, intrastate equity crowdfunding opens up a new world of investment prospects, according to Christopher Frey, founder and president of the state’s first and only authorized and registered equity crowdfunding portal Crowd Funding NJ Inc.

“Angel investors, VC’s and other wealthy 1 percenters have been investing like this for a long time. Now, the 99% of Americans who had previously been excluded from these types of high-growth, high-return investments can participate, investing in the small and midsized businesses that are the growth engine of our economy. An equity crowdfunding investment can be an important part of a well-balanced investment portfolio.”

With equity crowdfunding, small, individual investors can fill the “Funding Gap” left by traditional funding sources. Investors can review each company’s disclosure information and the specific opportunity on the crowdfunding portal and then choose the company or companies in which they want to invest. Their reward is that they get

to participate in the growth of the company. The company receives a long-term investment of needed growth capital without the requirements and processes of a bank loan; or without having to give up a significant stake in the company and a management role that private equity sources require.

Frey said the Crowd Funding NJ Inc. business model recognizes the significant demands on company owners, including their time. “Every successful entrepreneur and business owner I’ve met has been hyper-focused on growing sales and running the day-to-day operations of their business,” he said. “They simply don’t have the time or internal resources to effectively raise capital. That’s why we offer a complete turn-key solution. We handle everything from disclosure package preparation to investor documents to managing the crowdfunding campaign and our costs are comparable to that of obtaining a bank loan.”

While intrastate equity crowdfunding is available in several states across the country, New Jersey offers a unique opportunity, according to Frey. “From high-tech start-ups, to pharmaceutical and biotech entrepreneurs, to established second- and third-generation family businesses, the potential for crowdfunding investments and investment opportunities is great.”
