How anyone can start a crowdfund. Did you know that legally you can get a regulation
crowdfund and raise up to 5 million dollars for your business? Did you know
that I know how to do that and I am going to tell you how in this video? Let's go.
In this video I'm going to share with you how to raise lots of money even during a pandemic like
I did, I'm going to share with you the simple step-by-step process for getting a crowdfund
legally and ethically and last but not least, I'm going to share with you my secret sauce on how you
can get this done for less than a thousand dollars total. So, let's start off with what is a crowdfund?
Before I even can get into telling you how to get five million dollars, there's some of you
that don't even know what a crowdfund is so let me explain that to you really quickly. A crowdfund is
just like what it sounds like. It is a fund raised by a crowd of people but they call it that because
they are unaccredited investors. Basically a crowdfund is a fund that you can create
for your business and whether it be real estate or business or entrepreneurial thing where you are
raising money for this intended purpose and again, it is very specific. You cannot raise money just to
pay your bills, I'm not talking about raising money to pay for your hospital or anything like that. I'm
talking about a regulation CF which is regulated through the Securities and Exchange Commission
otherwise known as the SEC. I'm telling you how you can get a regulation crowdfund legally, have
it set up where you are able to raise money from unaccredited investors, meaning just
anyone in the whole world basically and how they can be a part of your business and how you can
give them shares of your business, whether it's a business that you've had for a long time or if
it's a business that you just created. You can do this. So, this is an amazing opportunity for regular
people to have all of the money that they need for their business by raising money from other regular
people. Brilliant idea so let's get to how you do it. So as many of you guys may know, I raised over a
million dollars during the pandemic for my company, Nuurez incorporated. If you want to check out the
website, you can go to n-u-u-r-e-z.com so basically Nuurez is a short-term rental company. We have lots
of properties, we mostly do short-term rentals and corporate housing. I created this company so that
I could partner with regular individuals. Many people have saw me on YouTube and in my podcast
and my books and they wanted to partner with me but at the time I really just could not partner
individually with all of these people or all of my students so I created this vehicle which I
didn't even know about, it was actually my mentor Kevin Harrington that taught me this and taught me
about crowdfunds and he taught me how to get this in just three weeks and even endorsed the company
and helped me raise money and that's one of the secrets that I'm going to share with you a little
bit later. But basically with Nuurez incorporated, we started the crowd fund, we got it all through
and the minimum investment was just $500. So anyone that wanted to invest in the company, they could
go to this website at the time, I went through a company called Trucrowd which is t-r-u-c-r-o-w-d,
Trucrowd that is where we had our fund and again it is closed at the time of this recording
that fund is closed. We raised the maximum that was allowed at the time which was a little bit
over a million dollars, this was 2020. In March of 2021, the law was actually changed and now
you can raise 5 million on a crowd fund on a regulation CF so this is an amazing opportunity,
this is something that I've done and now again instead of being able to raise just 1 million
70 you know thousand dollars, you can raise up to 5 million dollars from unaccredited investors. Let me
tell you how to do it because Noelle unfortunately is not going to be doing another crowd fun in the
near future. So before I get into that, you need to subscribe to my channel. Make sure you subscribe

so you do not miss any of this content that I'm bringing to you absolutely free and telling all
of my million dollar secrets to you again for free. All right so let's get to this part. So let's talk
about how I did it and I'm going to give you the step-by-step process. Step one, you need to decide
on what it is that your business does. What is it that you are raising money for? This is probably
the hardest part but it is not very difficult but most people actually will tell you that they want
millions of dollars for their business three million, five million which is really a lot of
money for a business. You don't probably need that much. You really could probably raise a hundred
thousand or 250,000. Again, that is the beauty of the crowd fund. Like I said, you can raise up
to five million dollars legally right now at the time of this recording however, you do not have to
raise five million dollars because unfortunately if you raise five million dollars, you're going to
have to invest it in your business and know what to do with it. So in most cases, I'm going to give
you a quick warning, you probably do not need five million dollars to make your business happen. You
probably only need a few hundred thousand. I was able to do a million because I was buying real
estate and I knew exactly how much I needed to buy and of course with short-term rentals,
we have to furnish the entire Airbnb. You have to buy all the furniture, all of the pots, all of the
pans, everything so it does require some money to start up your Airbnb business so that is why
I selected the maximum amount. I already knew so think about that before you actually launch your
Airbnb. Decide what it is that you're going to do in your business and what you're going to use the
money for. You're going to have to think about this. You may have to sit down with a pen and paper by
yourself and really just go through this because this is the exercise that I had to do because
you're going to have to explain to the people that you're raising money from what you're going to do
with the money. They're going to want to know. No one's just going to give you 500, 1000 2000,
they're not going to give you any money unless they are confident that you are going to actually
do what you're saying you're going to do with it and so you have to know what you're going to
do with it, that's step one. Step two, create a new entity. Now, this is a Noelleism. I started a brand
new company and this is what I suggest for you but you do not have to do this step. You may have
a business already with the LLC established, an EIN, a website, a phone number, things like that,
just five or six things to actually establish the business legally and again, I make tons tons
of videos teaching you that. Make sure you watch that whole playlist if you don't know how to set
up a business because I teach you that but it is really simple and in many cases you can do it in
just one day depending on what state you're in, but you have to actually set up a new business.
This is what I suggest. Yes, on a crowdfund you can use a business that's already established so
if you have a trucking company or a video business or hair business, yes, you could use that business,
submit the financials for that business and get a crowdfund but, I do not recommend that. I don't.
Just because your business already has a history, it already has things going on and the more things
you already have going on in your business, the more it's going to be scrutinized but if you start
a brand new entity where you're starting fresh, all right, and you're saying this is what we're going
to do in the business, it gives your investors to a new opportunity and it gives them a clean slate of
what's possible. If you already have a business established, it kind of muddies the
water and you have to submit all of your previous financials of what you've done in the business
previously and sometimes investors are not going to like what they see however, it's ironic because
if you have a brand new business with no history, there's nothing for them to see. Also, it's not much
for the SEC to scrutinize and really all they do is scrutinize you. They want to make sure that you
don't have any financial criminal background and make sure you have no criminal history, make sure
you don't have terrible, terrible credit, you know what I'm saying? You can't have some things on your
credit but make sure that you know you're a sound person and that the business is legally set up
and then you'll have a CPA, I'll get to that in a second, create some financials for you with some
projections of what you're going to do and that is really the easiest way to set up your crowd
fund so that's what you should do. Set up a new entity, that's step two. Let's get to number three.
Step three, sign up with a crowd funding platform. I, Noelle, used trucrowd.com
however I am not going to make a recommendation in this video for any particular platform. There
are companies besides Trucrowd companies for example like start engine and again you can google
crowd funding platforms and a list of different crowdfunding platforms will come up and those
are the companies that will help you set up your crowdfund. You basically create account with them
and they have people on staff that will help walk you through and most of these companies also have
recommendations for the attorney and for the accountant that you will need to help you set
up your crowdfund. Now again, this is super easy because what I'm telling you to do is create a
new entity, create a new business and raise money for that new business. Don't use a business that
you already have, you can use a business that you already have to justify why you are credible
to justify why this is something you've done before in the past and show your history but you
don't want to use your previous business because you already have- that business already has its
thing and when you start this business, you own it essentially with your investors. So it's a much
easier, simpler, cleaner way to do it, additionally this is something that the crowdfunding platform
is probably going to recommend you to do because that's what they recommended me to do but again,
everybody's situation is different. I'm just giving you my experience and my opinion, that's it. Now
once you get with the crowdfunding platform, they are going to get a CPA to drop your financials.
This is step four. The CPA will create financials for your company, how much money you've invested
into it so far and will also give some projections on what you expect to make. This is a very simple
process. You can get this done really simply because again, you don't have a history so they're
not auditing the previous financials or giving you financial statements of what you've already done.
They're basically saying where you are at this point and giving you some projections so this is
a very simple process. It's not difficult and I think this is where most people get scared.
Oh, man, what am I going to do? I'm going to have a certified you know accountant look at my stuff?
CPA stands for certified public accountant and so these are people that are certified to do
accounting on a very public level. They've taken these rigorous standards and testing and things
like that so it can be a little bit intimidating but it's not. Remember, you created a brand new
entity so they're just kind of like oh, I don't have much to look at and this is what the person
said they're going to make so they're going to create financials kind of around that so,
it's nowhere near as difficult as you think and this is why anyone can start a crowdfund.
Step five, you are going to then get it approved through the Securities and Exchange Commission.
So once you have gotten the memorandum done of like okay like I said, you thought about it and
you wrote it out what your business is going to do, you've given that to your crowd funding platform,
okay? Now you've given the financials, you've had a CPA do the financials with, you know the past
you know what's going on, nothing, and then what you project in the future which is what you thought of
you know this is what you project your business to make and this is why this is really amazing.
And then the next thing is it's going to get uploaded to the Securities and Exchange Commission.
It's a separate system where you like upload the memorandum, you upload the financials and then
you wait for your approval. Sometimes they may not approve you on the first step, they may reject it
but many cases is rejected for a few minor things and again, your crowdfunding platform
will help you overcome that. Ours was rejected the first time, again I'm sharing you my real story,
and it was just really something simple that we needed to fix. It wasn't anything I needed to
go back to the accountant for it, wasn't anything I needed to go to an attorney for. It was just
explaining what areas of the country we were going to get you know properties in or something like
that. It was just a really simple thing, nothing crazy, it was not a difficult process. I was almost
shocked at how easy it was and that's what I want to share with you. I cannot believe the opportunity
that exists for business owners, for entrepreneurs to raise five million dollars for their business
and how very few people are taking advantage of this. This is an amazing opportunity, it's not very
expensive, it's not a difficult process and you do not have to raise 5 million. You can raise less
than that and I'm going to share with you a big secret on how you actually raise the money, okay?
I said I would share and I'm going to share the big secret. The big secret on how to raise a lot of
money for your crowd fund is to use an influencer. Yeah, you need to use a celebrity or an influencer,
someone that people already trust, they already know and they already recognize. So big secret
with Nuurez incorporated, Kevin Harrington made a video endorsing the company and I was able to use
that video in all of the marketing so when you went to Nuurez.com to see about the opportunity,
the video with Kevin Harrington was there and then also when you went to the website
to invest, that video was there and that gave people trust and credibility. Kevin Harrington
used to be on the show Shark Tank. He's worth you know 500 million dollars and he's telling
people that yeah, I think Noelle and her company are a good bet and this is what I am saying about that
and you can do the same thing. Here's the big secret. I had to pay him to make the video.
Yeah, big secret. You can pay influencers, celebrities to endorse your business and
make you a video. I'm not going to share with you how much I paid for the video but it was way
less than you're probably thinking because this is something Kevin Harrington does on a regular basis.
He endorses businesses, he either is paid for the endorsement or he takes a share of the company,
things like that. Now again I'm not speaking on him, it's not what this video is about. It's about
teaching you that if you can get a celebrity or an influencer to endorse your business, even
making a video, it is a strong selling point on how people will invest in your company. It worked
miracles for me and it got our thing going and then once people see that there's money in there,
it's really easy to get more people to raise money. Once you get it going, it's like a snowball.
You get that little thing going, people see oh man, somebody already put money in. Oh, I'll put
money in and then after people start putting money in it, it just grows and grows and it's exploded
and grew so fast but again, the big secret is getting an influencer, a celebrity or a
superstar even even an athlete or someone that is influential, someone that is rich, successful,
you get what I'm saying, to endorse your business and make a video endorsing your business and again,
you may have to pay a little bit for it but it's worth it, that's one because again, the
credibility of someone besides yourself endorsing your business will draw other people to it.
Additionally the amount that you pay them, actually you can write off in the business as marketing
expenses so that's a really big secret. So, let me give you one last secret on how to do this. So
another thing that we did to get money into our crowd fund is we would do weekly webinars where
we were explaining the opportunity to people and we would just meet on a Zoom meeting, tell
people I had the same presentation again, that I would run over and over telling people what
the company was about, how much we were needing, tell them how to do it and again raising money
and doing this every single week. It worked and it raised hundreds of thousands of dollars
every single month in combination with the video from the influencer, celebrity. Now if
you want Noelle Randall to endorse your business and create a video for you, that's a service that
I offer depending on your business and if it is something that we feel is aligned. You can go to
noellespodcast.com, that's noelle, n-o-e-l-l-e with an s, podcast p-o-d-c-a-s-t noellespodcast.com. You
can fill out the application and have a interview to see if you can be on my podcast, if you could be
on my show. I'm offering that as an opportunity and once I've interviewed you and I see that your
company is real, you're a person of integrity, I may endorse your business and that is something that
I'm getting into to help other entrepreneurs the same way that successful entrepreneurs
help me. I just want to make sure that you have all of the resources, all of the tools
and all of the knowledge that you need to be successful. This is Noelle, to your success.
