Bahrain-based equity crowdfunding platform <\/strong>Beban Crowdfunding<\/a><\/strong> is <\/strong>preparing to launch in Egypt<\/strong>, CEO Karim Saleh tells EnterpriseAM. The move to establish Beban Egypt follows Foras AI \u2014 the shareholder founded by Exits CEO Mohamed Aboulnaga \u2014 increasing its stake in the company to fund the venture.<\/p>\n

Beban? <\/strong>Beban is an equity crowdfunding platform that connects investors with startups and SMEs seeking funding in exchange for ownership stakes starting as low as USD 100. Unlike debt crowdfunding, \u201cBeban connects investors with companies that want to sell equity stakes in exchange for funding,\u201d not debt, Saleh said. What also sets Beban apart is its own Shark Tank-esque TV program<\/a> to showcase the investments.<\/p>\n

But crowdfunding can only get you so far in Bahrain with a population of just 1.7 mn. <\/strong>While keeping Bahrain as its regional hub, Beban is looking to tap Egypt\u2019s 69x larger population, which represents \u201ca far bigger market and stronger growth potential.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trust may be an issue for some Egyptians<\/strong>, as \u201ccrowdfunding in Egypt has often been associated with fraud or informal activity,\u201d Saleh noted. To tackle this, Beban approached the FRA to develop a crowdfunding model that also \u201cincludes safeguards such as due diligence, escrow mechanisms, and tracking of funds from investment through deployment and beyond,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

The company is currently applying for a license for the venture from the FRA<\/strong>, which will be structured around the existing securitization and underwriting framework and an investment fund. The regulator has welcomed the model but mandated additional safeguards, including an independent fund manager to oversee investments, conduct due diligence, and ensure compliance before capital is deployed.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s next? <\/strong>Beban expects to receive a preliminary license after submitting its paperwork, followed by final approval around six months later, Saleh said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
