CrowdfundUP is Australia's first Real Estate Crowdfunding platform. We introduce Investors to our premium Property Group Partners looking to raise capital for their next real estate project. Investors can easily browse investment opportunities, explore background information about Property Group Partners and communicate directly with key personnel responsible for the project. The best part? You can invest in property investment opportunities entirely online!

Once you have registered your account on CrowdfundUP, you will be able to view investment opportunities on the CrowdfundUP platform and discover our Property Partners. When you are ready, you can invest in your preferred amount into any investment opportunity, entirely online.

There are various reasons for this. Some projects are only open to Wholesale/Sophisticated Investors and before you can invest in these projects, you must first register as a Wholesale/Sophisticated investor and fulfil all requirements of the definition. Alternatively, the project may have already reached it's limit for retail investors, as per the Australian law. CrowdfundUP takes every step to ensure it is compliant with Australian legal framework.

A retail investor means a ‘retail client’ as defined in the Corporations Act 2001 (the Corporations Act).

All persons (whether a natural person or a legal person) are ‘retail clients’ unless provided otherwise in the Corporations Act. E.g. A person may have ‘Wholesale’, ‘Wholesale’ or ‘Professional Investor’ status if they meet the relevant requirements in the Corporations Act for claiming that status.

CrowdfundUP does not certify users or potential investors as to their investor ‘status’. Potential investors are encouraged to seek their own legal advice if they are uncertain of their investor status.

Some of the investment opportunities listed on CrowdfundUP will be open to retail investors, subject to any limitations in the Corporations Act or other applicable law in relation to the number of permitted retail investments (usually up to 20 in any 12-month period).

You are a wholesale or sophisticated investor if you can provide a copy of a certificate given within the preceding 6 months by a qualified accountant that states that you have either:

Net assets of no less than A$2,500,000, or

A gross income for each of the last 2 financial years of at least A$250,000 per annum (the amount specified under Regulations 6D.2.03 and 7.1.28 of the Corporations Regulations 2001).

If you meet these requirements, you may be able to register as a wholesale or sophisticated investor. Registering as a wholesale or sophisticated investor is a simple process. We will send an email to your accountant who can certify you online. Wholesale investors have access to a wider range of investment opportunities on CrowdfundUP.

Generally, investors are offered either shares in a company or units in a unit trust. The Information Memorandum for the particular project will fully explain the structure of the investment.

No, each project listed on CrowdfundUP is unique. Projects may offer different classes of interest (shares or units).

The rate of return offered by individual projects will differ depending on a variety of factors such as the risk profile of the project. Projects may offer different investment return models such as a set rate of return or a return relying on capital appreciation of the project.

Potential investors should read the Information Memorandum for the relevant project to understand the specific risks of investing in that project. In general, any project listed on CrowdfundUP may be subject to substantial investment risks, including possible loss of income and capital invested. Investors should consider investments in projects to be speculative and should obtain their own legal and financial advice in relation to investing in any project listed on CrowdfundUP.

No, your name will not appear on the title of the property. The name of the entity purchasing and developing the property will normally be included on the property’s title. Your name will be listed on the ownership documents of the entity that develops the property (i.e. in the share register or unit trust register, depending on the nature of your investment).

No, CrowdfundUP does not issue any interests in the projects listed on our platform. Our Development Partners are responsible for issuing the specific interests in their projects.

Once you have created your account on the CrowdfundUP platform, you will be able to access and view Investment opportunities. Upon browsing and reviewing the investments and deciding you would like to make an investment, click the 'Invest Now' button and you will be directed to acknowledge CrowdfundUP's Terms and Conditions. Once acknowledged, you will be asked how many shares or units you would like to purchase, and then be asked to deposit funds into your Digital Wallet. From here, we will help you draft your formal 'Expression of Interest' letter to the Property Partner entity indicating your interest in the project.

You are able to sign this letter once we have verified your identity using our ID partners, Green ID. Once this verification has been completed, you will then be able to send your Expression of Interest documentation to the Property Group, who will review your letter and then send you a formal 'Offer' document to invest in the project. Upon this, if you decide to accept their offer, we will then help you prepare an 'Acceptance' letter and provide you with a payment link.

The profile page of a project and its attached information will detail when returns will be paid.

Returns will be paid directly into your nominated bank account or otherwise as agreed between you and the project owner.

No, once a project has gone live then it must only accept the funding that it originally sought.

Yes. You can nominate an SMSF or Company when you are drafting your formal letter to one of our Development Partners.

Our Property Groups set the minimum amount that can be invested by an individual Investor. The minimum investment amount ranges from $1,000 (AUD) upwards.

Once you have set up your CrowdfundUP account and invested in projects, you can see and manage all your investment information through the Account Dashboard, including your portfolio performance, distributions and reporting.

You can withdraw funds from your Wallet at any time by logging into your CrowdfundUP account and making a withdraw request.

There are no fees for Investors to invest via the CrowdfundUP platform.

CrowdfundUP only partner with premium property groups after a detailed due diligence process is conducted. Additionally, each investment opportunity from our property partners is selected based on a number of factors, including property characteristics, suburb growth, yield returns, market conditions and independent data.
