Invest In Fussy And The Planet šŸ’ŖšŸŒ

Thatā€™s right, Fussy is offering the opportunity for our community (not just the bankers) to invest in Fussy from as little as Ā£10. But why? What does it all mean? And how do you do it? If you are new to investing we hope this post will help. Please note we are in no way financial advisors and capital is at risk.

What is equity crowdfunding?

Equity crowdfunding offers the chance for investors (referred to as the crowd) to invest funds into a business in exchange for shares in that business. We think itā€™s great because it levels the playing field and allows lots of different people to invest what they can afford, rather than just the big banks and investment funds.Ā 

Why are you crowdfunding?

It was always part of the plan! We believe that it is only with consumers and brands working together that we can make a real difference in the world. And a crowdfund is exactly that. In fact Fussy started as a crowdfunding project so this is a natural evolution for us.

How has it been going so far?

Thanks to you, Fussy has been doing great. We now have 200,000 armpits in our Fussy family, have stopped over 100,000kg of single-use plastic and have grown a fantastic teamĀ in just 12 months. We are so thankful for all the support and we hope that by offering you the chance to own part of the company goes a small way in saying thanks.

Why are we raising money?

Truth be told we donā€™t need to at the moment. We raised an investment round earlier this year and some of you might have seen us on Dragonsā€™ Den where we secured Ā£50,000. But the plan was always to keep a small number of shares aside for our community and so here we are.

How much do I have to invest?

You canĀ invest as little as Ā£10. In fact if all our customers invested Ā£10 weā€™d hit our target straight away! Of course you can also invest more. Itā€™s really up to you, what you can afford and what you feel comfortable with.Ā 

How will the money be used?

It will go towards launching new products, entering new markets and expanding upon our distribution channels such as retail. This expansion is core to our belief that to create mass environmental impact we need as many armpits as possible to join us in our mission to banish single-use plastic.Ā 

Who are Seedrs?

Seedrs is the platform we use to raise the money. They are an independent third party regulated by the FCA and they ensure all the information we provide is factual and correct. They have helped lots of amazing company's raise money including Cheeky Panda, Lick, Heights, THIS! and lots lots more.

How do IĀ sign up?

    @MB Yes we are sorry! We will make this clearer.

    @PAUL GREENWOOD Yes itā€™s fully EIS! šŸ‘

    @VIV Donā€™t worry itā€™s not a donation. You own shares in the company so itā€™s an investment that we hope would return positively for you.


  • Paul Greenwood

    Does investment in Fussy quailify as a EIS investment?

    I signed up on Seedrs, but according to them I canā€™t invest because I live in the US. Didni click a wrong button, or should all your non-UK backers be aware they may not be able to invest?
