Crowdfunding for Cattle
Harvest Returns has raised more than $11.5M for cattle operations across the United States.
“We are very pleased with the results of our partnership with Harvest Returns as it provided access to a base of investors outside Blackdirt’s existing network and proved to be an effective platform for raising capital. We look forward to working with the Harvest Returns team again in the future.”
Agricultural Financing in an Evolving Globalized Marketplace
We understand American ranchers need every cutting edge they can get today in every aspect of business - including finance. Increasingly, they’re competing not just with the farm in the next state and county, but with farms in emerging countries. The agricultural industry, especially producers, must evolve to fit with today’s globalized marketplace. And that’s where we come in to help.
A New Way to Raise Capital for Agriculture
Ranchers often need capital to expand their operation or acquire new land. Most ranchers automatically seek ag credit lenders for capital, because it’s what we all know as a traditional funding source. But there are other ways besides bank loans to receive the needed capital. The use of equity partners in crowdfunding is an alternate way to finance land acquisition.
Flexible Funding Options
Our pool of 12,800+ investors can help you expand your herd, fund improvements to your ranch, or help you scale to access new sales channels. We offer both debt or equity options and work within your existing operating model.
Capital Raise Process
1) Application
2) Due Diligence
If your project meets our requirements, we will request additional documents to learn more about your project. A clear and transparent business plan coupled with organized and complete financial projections are the best starting point.
3) Listing Agreement
The agreement lays out the terms of the crowdfunding raise and what you can expect from the process as far as time, effort, and costs to you.
4) Live on Platform
After the project is set up and ready for investors, it goes live on the platform to accept investments from qualified investors. Harvest Returns will work to help you maximize the chances of a successful raise and maintain compliance with U.S. Securities regulations.
5) Close Raise & Receive Funds
You will receive the funds after the raise has successfully closed. You will work with Harvest Returns over the course of the operation to keep investors updated, provide financial statements and tax documents, and make investor distributions.
