used for Small & Mid-Size Entreprise Financing
DREAM, FINANCE & SUCCEED
Despite playing a major role in the economy, small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) still suffer from a deep funding shortfall. Traditional finance does not offer appropriate answer to small and mid-cap market. Access to finance appears to be the largest challenge for SMEs.
The combination of non-reliable public information and complex share transferability mechanisms does not attract investors because of the illiquid nature of investments. Investors are looking for safe corporate values and sufficient liquidity to swap shares. For SMEs, time to market is often a major milestone. Financing deadlines must follow the rhythm of strategic companies' decisions.
SMEs had so far only few financing tools at their disposal until the emergence of token based fundraising mechanism, most well known as Initial Token Offering. This new method is an important step for the global finance ecosystem towards the decentralization of finance.
In 2018, almost 21 billions of dollars have been raised to finance up to 900 projects. Although this fundraising method still remains marginal compared to other traditional methods but represents an important development potential because of its own innovative characteristics. Indeed, token based fundraising mechanism offers a way to attract, during any life cycle company stages, every kind of investors at global scale 24/7/365 (institutional, corporate and retail) by offering an easily transferable asset capability. Besides, it allows to dissociate financing and control of the company and ability to make known a company before its success. We are deeply convinced that it's a financing game changer.
However, current access to this new powerful fundraising way remains very scattered, costly and opaque between service providers (token design providers and crypto asset exchange platforms) and key stakeholders (entrepreneurs, investors and traders). Those obstacles prevent mass adoption of this new fundraising method directly offered to SMEs.
Our primary goal is to bring a turnkey solution by providing more trust and transparency in this field allowing entrepreneurs to fund their entrepreneurial dream through a set of token based fundraising campaign (ICO*, STO* or BRO*). We will modernize raising capital by facilitating its access and upgrading a traditionally illiquid and costly process.

TOZEX is a unique gateway between the primary and the secondary market. It removes all the existing barriers of managing the token life cycle relative to the fundraising campaign (issuing, financing, and trading) within one unique automated and fully regulated platform.
Our open source smart contract library allows entrepreneurs to select the most adapted token based fundraising mechanism to their project and needs (ICO*, STO* or BRO*). In addition, for the more experienced users, they will be able to choose their own Blockchain network between Ethereum, Ethereum Classic, RSK or Credits to deploy their newly issued cryptoasset.
Once, the fundraising stage is successfully completed, tokens are going to be traded on the secondary market. In this purpose, the project will be first submitted to our internal Committee of Control and then to the community through a voting phase.
TOZEX platform is the perfect place to exchange them on the secondary market through an auditable decentralized order book avoiding market manipulation and ensuring the liquidity demand.
