Hi forum members,

I'm not sure if anyone will be able to help me, but I thought it's worth a try given the amount of resourceful business people on this forum.

I'm located in Namibia, and want to start a Crowdfunding platform - equity funding - entering the real-estate sector. After a few frustrating Google searches, I was unable to really understand what needs to be done before setting up this kind of platform.

Where would I start, with regards to legal hurdles & financial protection?
Would this be a very costly exercise to get off the ground?

Anyone with some expertise in this area in SA, please do offer your knowledge. Namibia has a similar legal environment so it will at least give me an idea of what needs to be checked first.

Best regards
Ruan
