After registration, it is strongly recommended that you complete your profile before creating offers. Investors review the company profile before investing.

Information to complete​

  • Company logo: upload your logo (image format recommended).
  • Detailed description: present your company in detail.
  • Links and social networks (if applicable).
  • Required documents: some documents are mandatory to pass the audit.

Required documents​

For your company to be audited and validated, you must provide documents. Required document types vary by industry and location, but generally include:

  • Trade register or equivalent
  • Company bylaws
  • ID of the legal representative
  • Proof of address
  • Financial documents (statements, etc.)

Tip: Prepare these documents in advance to speed up the audit process.

Validation process​

After registration, your company account must go through an audit process before you can publish investment offers:

  1. Registration → account created
  2. Profile completion → information and documents
  3. Audit request → you request validation
  4. Administrator audit → the Genkibo team verifies your information
  5. Validation → your account is approved
  6. Offer publication → you can raise funds

For more details on the audit process, see Module 7 — The audit process.
