Why Crowdfunding?

Crowdfunding has traditionally been associated with small-scale charity drives or creative projects, but its core concept—raising small amounts of money from a wide base of people—has long been a vital tool in business financing.

Major companies, as well as the Nigerian government, have leveraged crowd funding (through commercial papers and bonds) to fuel growth with minimal risk. This shows that the public ("crowd") is an efficient, reliable, and cost-effective source of capital.

In 2021, new SEC regulations in Nigeria opened the door for small economic actors to tap into this funding model. SMEs can now raise up to NGN100 million through licensed platforms like Growth Boosters, while individual investors can participate with as little as a few thousand naira. These regulations ensure transparency, investor protection, and build greater trust in the crowdfunding space.

About Us

At Growth Boosters, we are leading this movement, changing how SMEs access capital and how individual investors grow their income. As a SEC-licensed, pioneering crowdfunding platform, we connect businesses in need of financing with everyday investors seeking attractive returns.

Our platform allows SMEs to raise funds on their terms, tailored to their operational cycles, while offering investors the chance to contribute to Nigeria’s growing economy. We utilize AI technology and human expertise to vet all investment opportunities, focusing on high-growth, responsible local businesses. At our core, we are driven by financial inclusion, aligned with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 1, 7, 8, and 9.

OUR MISSION
- Sustainable Wealth Creation For All
OUR VISION
- Wealth creation using optimal technologies deployed by competent professionals
exercising the utmost due diligence

How We Do It

We identify, vet and showcase exciting businesses—like local bakeries, restaurants, schools, and logistics provider—whose funding campaigns go live on our platform. Each campaign provides details about the business, use of funds, rates, and tenures. A group of investors then contributes small amounts of capital to support these businesses' growth, earning returns and principal after a few months.

We connect investors with businesses, creating a digital marketplace where mutual value and wealth creation thrive.
