For business owners
Raise growth capital from the people who already know your business — your customers, your neighbors, your regulars — without giving up ownership and without a bank.
Takes about 15 minutes. No commitment, and nothing to pay to find out if you qualify.
Free
to list
No signup fee, no listing fee, no monthly fee. You pay nothing to apply, to be reviewed, or to run your campaign.
7.4%
only if you succeed
Taken from the total you raise, at close. If your raise doesn't reach its minimum, you owe FAME nothing — we absorb the costs.
At cost
third-party costs
Escrow, identity checks and bank transfers are performed by a regulated custodian. Those are passed through at exactly what they cost — itemized, no markup.
Investors separately pay a 2.5% transaction fee on their own investment. It is never deducted from your proceeds. Full pricing
1.Get Raise-Ready — about 15 minutes
Three steps: who you are and your team, your financials, and what you’ll do with the money. Supporting documents are recommended, not required, to start.
2.FAME review — 2 to 3 business days
A real person reviews your business. We’ll come back with an approval, or with exactly what we need from you. Review time does not come out of your campaign window.
3.Your raise runs 45 days
Starting the day you’re approved. You set both a target and a minimum — if you hit the minimum, the raise succeeds. Reach it early and you can close early, with notice to your investors.
4.Close and funds released
Investor money sits with a regulated escrow agent the whole time — never with FAME. At a successful close it’s released to you, net of the success fee and the at-cost third-party costs.
P&L statements and tax returns earn you a FAME Certified badge — recommended, because investors trust it, but not required to begin.
Worth knowing early: you can certify your own financials up to $124,000. Above that, federal rules require an independent accountant to review them — real cost and weeks of lead time. Most first raises are sized to stay under it.
No equity
You keep 100% ownership. Investors are paid back — they don’t become part-owners.
No board seats
No governance rights, no votes, no one telling you how to run your shop.
No personal guarantee
Revenue share flexes with your business. A slow month is a smaller payment, not a default.
Fifteen minutes, free, and no obligation. You'll know where you stand and exactly what a raise on FAME would look like for your business.
