How to use crowdfunding in lockdown
November 2020
Crowdfunding is often used to pay for one off projects, like a new product or service, but you can also use it to cover running costs.
You can use our crowdfunding app to help you and your business get through lockdown.

-
Cover your cash flow if your business has to close or is suffering a drop in income
