Freetrade's crowdfunding round 📈

Ways to get your investment back are probably:

  • company A is bought by company B, and then your shares will be sold to B
  • the company A floats on a market, and then you can sell your shares whenever you want
  • you find a private buyer for your shares in company A eg here maybe
  • company A decides to pay a dividend to its shareholders (nb FT has never said they’d do this!)

But yes, it’s harder to get a good liquidity event when investing in private companies, compared to ones that are already public.
