Recent legislative changes mean Danish private limited companies (ApS) can now fundraise on Republic Europe, opening up investment opportunities for all.
For the “first time” in history, Danish ApS companies (Anpartsselskaber) can tap into the power of community fundraising to fuel their growth.
A noteworthy legislative change, officially coming into effect on Jan 1, 2025, has now reportedly removed restrictions that previously “prevented ApS companies from publicly raising funds.”
This opens the door for businesses to gain access to everyday investors and smaller ticket investments, creating new “opportunities for entrepreneurs and communities alike.”
Traditionally, ApS companies had typically faced various barriers / challenges when it came “to raising public funds.”
But now, these private limited companies are reportedly able to share their vision with a broader audience and potentially acquire investment from “individuals who believe in their mission.”
According to the announcement, this marks a significant shift in Denmark’s investment landscape and provides “a springboard for innovation and growth.”
At Republic Europe, they are pleased to embrace this transformative change as we enter 2025.
This new opportunity not only aims to democratizes access to early-stage investments but also enables them to effectively support high-potential deals with firms that were not previously able to work with them.
To mark this pivotal change, they are now kicking off 2025 with the launch of some innovative businesses from the ApS Cohort.
Within the coming weeks, they will reportedly introduce these companies to the Republic Europe platform.
Whether you are currently an investor looking to further diversify your investment portfolio or a founder seeking to explore what’s possible at the moment, Republic Europe claims it can help clients access various high-potential opportunities.
Republic Europe is the European branch of the online investment platform “Republic”, which allows individuals to invest in startups and growth companies “through equity crowdfunding.”
Essentially, it’s the European version of the Republic platform, previously known as Seedrs, where users can “access investment opportunities in European companies.”
