Primarily four different forms of crowdfunding can be distinguished, namely donation-based, reward-based, lending-based and equity-based crowdfunding. These forms differ significantly in terms of requirements, costs, return and legal restrictions. Each form also entails its benefits, challenges and risks. Entrepreneurs can benefit from a large pool of potential capital, easy access, a reduction of geographical barriers, low costs and a huge support network. However, they need to keep administrative and marketing challenges as well as the exposure of intellectual property in mind. Investors are able to diversify their investment within a large amount of business opportunities and concurrently minimize their default risk through several small contributions. Nevertheless, investors should be aware of the high risks involved in investing in start-up businesses, such as information asymmetries, business failure and fulfillment risks as well as potential fraud.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46496850509975,"sku":"9783639724066","price":3041.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783639724066.webp?v=1769188419","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/crowdfunding-9783639724066","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
