SMBX is a helping democratize the financial system in the United States by enabling small businesses to issue bonds and raise capital directly from their customers and local community and by giving people the power to invest in the businesses they love and the world they want to see. In the past, only large corporations and governments were able to raise capital by issuing bonds, and only high net worth individuals and other accredited investors were eligible to invest. In 2016, the Securities and Exchange Commission enacted Title III of the JOBS Act which made it possible for the public to directly support startups and small business through registered investment crowdfunding platforms like SMBX. Many of the new platforms focus on equity investments with unpredictable exits and returns. SMBX small business bonds are available in 10 dollar increments with transparent interest rates and are structured to provide equal monthly payments until the total principal and earned interest are paid. This makes it easier for businesses to engage their community. While anyone with a US credit card or bank account is eligible to invest, the service is explicitly designed to support resilient local economies by connecting local investors with local businesses.
