The platform combines equity crowdfunding and digital banking services to provide a full suite of financial services to entrepreneurs on the African continent and investors around the world. With its competitive advantage over other equity crowdfunding platforms, low overhead costs, lack of SEC regulations, and the upcoming launch of ‘IA54 Secondary’, Invest Africa 54 is poised to revolutionize the African financial industry.
02
Equity Crowdfunding
Invest Africa 54 operates as an equity crowdfunding platform, a security-based form of crowdfunding where securities are issued to the general public in exchange for an investment. This form of financing gives startups the opportunity to raise capital quickly and gives investors the opportunity to invest in a startup's passion project or area of interest. With investments ranging from a few thousand dollars to millions of dollars, the company has successfully raised funds for a variety of businesses.
03
Banking-as-a-Service (BaaS)
Invest Africa 54 also operates as a non-bank entity, using its partner bank's digital infrastructure through a Banking-as-a-Service (BaaS) model. This allows Invest Africa 54 to offer financial services without obtaining a banking license and opens up new revenue streams for banks. The BaaS model also means that Invest Africa 54 can provide a full suite of financial services, including lending, payments, and savings, to entrepreneurs and investors.
04
Competitive Advantage over Other Equity Crowdfunding Platforms
Invest Africa 54's competitive advantage over other equity crowdfunding platforms lies in its operation in a region with a lower cost of doing business and is based on entrepreneurship, which translates to lower overhead costs and lower fees for investors and entrepreneurs. Additionally, Invest Africa 54 operates with greater flexibility, as it lacks SEC regulations, making it easier for entrepreneurs to access funding and for investors to access investment opportunities. Finally, Invest Africa 54's unique combination of equity crowdfunding and digital banking services makes it a one-stop-shop for bot entrepreneurs and investors, providing convenience and accessibility unmatched by other equity crowdfunding platforms.

Invest Africa 54 and the Bank of Ghana's Fintech Sandbox
The Bank of Ghana recently announced that its Regulatory Sandbox is open to admit the first cohort of participants from February 2023 to March 14, 2023. The Sandbox will support innovations in new digital business models, new and immature digital financial service technology, and innovative and disruptive digital financial service products that have the potential of addressing present financial inclusion challenges. The first cohort window will largely accept innovations from priority areas such as payments, remittances, crowdfunding, and micro-lending.
This announcement is an amazingly positive development for Invest Africa 54, as it has worked on the creation of its platform for 2 years, and will be ready to launch in less than a month. The company is well-positioned to leverage this new development and offer its services to the first cohort of participants in the Sandbox.
IA54 Secondary
Invest Africa 54 is also developing a part of the platform called IA54 Secondary, which is one of the first marketplaces of its kind that enables companies that have raised capital on the platform to give their investors potential access to liquidity. The platform is working towards the launch of this secondary marketplace and hopes to launch this trading platform in the fall of 2024.
Invest Africa 54 is proud to be a platform that not only supports your funding rounds but also provides potential access to liquidity for your shareholders.

Incredible Growth of Certain Sectors in the African Business Landscape
The African business landscape is experiencing incredible growth in certain sectors, including technology, agriculture, and tourism. The technology sector, in particular is growing at a rapid pace, with the number of internet users in Africa predicted to reach 1 billion by 2025. The agriculture sector is also experiencing growth, with the African Development Bank estimating that agriculture could contribute up to $1 trillion to Africa's GDP by 2030. Finally, the tourism sector is booming, with the World Travel and Tourism Council predicting that the tourism industry in Africa will generate over $180 billion by 2023.
08
Revenue Model
Invest Africa 54's revenue model is based on commission fees, carried interest, value-added services, subscription fees, Banking-as-a-Service (BAAS), and campaign fees. The company generates a steady stream of income by charging a commission fee on the funds raised by companies through its platform. It also earns a portion of the profits generated by successful investments through carried interest.
In addition to these revenue streams, IA54 offers a variety of value-added services, such as investment consultation, market research, and financial analysis, to help its clients make informed decisions. Its subscription fee for access to these services, as well as exclusive investment opportunities and special deals, provides yet another source of income for the company.
As a Banking-as-a-Service (BAAS) company, IA54 partners with banks to provide them with the technology and services they need to remain competitive. This generates significant revenue for the company through subscription fees, loyalty programs, referral fees, and more. And with the launch of IA54 Secondary, the company's secondary market platform, IA54 is poised to earn even more revenue from fees charged to investors who want to sell their shares through the platform. With the campaign fee, IA54 makes money when companies successfully raise money through its platform. The company charges companies a percentage of what they raise, part of which it may take in equity. This provides yet another source of income for IA54 and ensures that its platform remains a lucrative investment opportunity for its clients.
