One of the really great things about Crowdcube is its simplicity. To start looking for investment create an online Pitch, promote it to people you think might invest in your business and start seeing the investment money come in. By promoting your Pitch online and encouraging people to spread the word you’ll be able to attract investors from all walks of life, and when you reach your target you'll receive the money to help grow your business. One small business owner that has already seen the benefits of Crowdcube is Bubble & Balm which, after being turned down for investment by banks, has raised £75,000 through the website from 82 different investors.
