Frequently Asked Questions – For Companies Seeking Funding
Would you like to finance your company – without a bank and without detours? Here you’ll find clear answers to the most frequently asked questions by entrepreneurs looking to raise capital through CONDA Capital Market.
Learn how alternative financing works, what requirements you need to meet, and how we support you in reaching the right investors.
What financing options do I have besides the bank?
In addition to traditional bank loans, a wide range of alternative financing solutions is available today. These include crowdinvesting – for example, through subordinated loans – as well as the issuance of securities such as bonds, shares, or profit participation rights.
Platforms like CONDA Capital Market allow you to raise capital directly from private and institutional investors – digitally, transparently, and without the need for collateral or going through a bank.
How does financing through CONDA Capital Market work in practice?
In short: You apply with your company, we review your documents, and together we structure the right financing product. After that, your digital offering goes live on CONDA Capital Market. Investors can invest directly – and you receive the capital once the funding is successfully completed.
How quickly can I receive funding?
The duration of the financing process can vary and typically ranges from a few weeks to several months.
Once you’ve submitted all required documents, it usually takes around 4 to 8 weeks until your offering goes live. From that point, the speed of funding depends on investor interest. Many projects reach their funding target within just a few weeks.
The exact timeline depends on several factors, including the type of financing, the complexity of your project, the completeness of your documents, and any specific requirements from involved parties. We recommend discussing your individual case in advance to define a realistic timeframe and ensure that all steps are handled efficiently and transparently.
What requirements does my company need to meet?
To be eligible for financing on CONDA Capital Market, your company should meet the following key criteria:
- It must be registered as a limited liability company (GmbH) or a stock corporation (AG) within the EU.
- The company’s headquarters must be located within the EU.
- You should be able to demonstrate market potential (proof of market).
- There must be visible growth opportunities.
Additionally, your accounting should comply with national or European standards.
Business experience is also an advantage – ideally, your company is in its third or later fiscal year.
These criteria help ensure that financing opportunities on CONDA Capital Market come from established and stable companies. We’re here to support you on your financing journey and work toward success together.
What does financing through CONDA cost me?
The fees and costs associated with financing via CONDA Capital Market may vary depending on several factors, such as the type of financing, your company’s specific needs, and the structure of the financing process.
In general, the costs consist of a fixed setup fee and a performance-based success fee. These depend on the selected financial instrument and the funding volume. A detailed overview is provided during our initial consultation to ensure that all financial aspects align with your expectations.
Our transparent approach allows us to create tailored financing solutions that meet the needs of your business and the expectations of investors. After a successful initial discussion, all applicable fees and costs are clearly and transparently communicated. We are committed to fair and customized terms to ensure a trustworthy and successful financing partnership.
How much capital can I raise through CONDA?
Through CONDA Capital Market, you can raise up to 5 million euros per year and per issuer in accordance with the European Crowdfunding Service Provider Regulation (ECSP). This limit applies uniformly across the EU and enables larger financing rounds to be carried out efficiently and independently of banks via the platform.
Depending on your company’s size, business model, and target audience, we support you in defining the right funding structure – from six-figure amounts all the way up to the full 5-million-euro threshold.
Do I have to give up shares in my company?
No – when financing through bonds or profit participation rights, you remain the full owner of your company.
Only in the case of an actual equity offering (e.g., a share issuance) would you give up shares – and that happens voluntarily and under clearly defined, transparent conditions.
Who are the typical investors on CONDA?
CONDA investors are primarily experienced private investors, as well as business owners, family offices, and institutional investors who actively seek out companies with strong potential – often driven by personal conviction and long-term interest.
How will my campaign gain visibility?
Our marketing and PR experts support you in making your financing campaign visible through our platform, newsletters, social media, and targeted advertising. You benefit from CONDA’s established community and broad reach across investor networks.
