Crowdcube’s verification process
Once you’ve submitted your pitch, to help us get to know your business, you'll be asked to provide some basic legal, financial and compliance information. Assuming there are no issues with the information provided, we will begin to review and verify your pitch text. As your pitch is a financial promotion, we will request evidence to verify any material statements included in your pitch text.

Planning your pitch promotion
Effectively promoting your pitch is key to its success so, now’s the time to kick-start your promotional activity.
You can find a host of resources on promoting your pitch, here.
Launching on Crowdcube

Legal submission and review
Once you've raised 75% of your target, you'll be introduced to our legal team who will start preparing for the completion of your round. We will request any further information needed to carry out legal checks in order to make appropriate disclosures to investors.
Completion of your round
Once you've reached your maximum funding target and the pitch has closed to investment, we'll start our completions process. We will complete anti-money laundering checks on your investors, inform them of the cooling off period via email, complete our final legal checks, capture payments and issue share certificates. We will also work with you to complete the necessary tax filings, and provide you with information on the Companies House filings you need to do.
