WHY IS FCX NEEDED
Global interest in private companies has grown rapidly over the last few years, with fundraising increasing and private capital assets under management hitting new highs.
Of the two and a half million companies trading in Australia, only less than two thousand are listed on the ASX, which means there are many private companies potentially looking for investors and many investors looking for opportunities.
Yet, despite this strong position in the marketplace, many private companies are raising capital, managing their deals, and maintaining their equity registers using manual processes subject to inefficiencies and risk at every point.
The alternative to private capital raising, an IPO, comes with even more risk, increased costs, and a loss of control. It also shifts the focus of founders from long-term development and growth to high pressure short-term earnings cycles.
In Australia alone, private companies contributed $54 billion to the economy in 2022. The continued growth of these companies offers significant opportunities for investors and the Australian economy. They just need a smarter, more efficient way to raise and manage capital.
At FCX we recognise the significance of this huge market and the challenges many growth companies face in managing their capital raisings, investor relations and employee incentivisation schemes.

ASX LISTED COMPANIES LESS THAN 2500Current infrastructure landscape
Listed companies and their investors, brokers, wealth managers and other stakeholders all rely on centralised technologies.
Technology providers, such as FinClear, offer a range of platforms and tools that allow listed companies and their investors to clear and settle trades, operate managed accounts, lend securities, and raise capital efficiently. These tools are backed by comprehensive processes that facilitate ASIC and ASX compliance.
The experience for listed companies is streamlined, automated, transparent, and effective.
If you're an unlisted or private company, day-to-day management of your capital and investors may not be as streamlined as listed markets.
Before you start thinking about cap raising, you need to determine a fair valuation for shares in your company. Without public market benchmarks or consistent valuation, this process has an inherent degree of subjectivity, and negotiating and agreeing on a valuation that satisfies all the interested parties can be challenging.
When trying to find investors, you're faced with several issues centred on how you manage these crucial relationships. New companies may have a limited network of potential investors and often struggle to gain visibility and exposure. If you're an early-stage start-up, you probably won't have the same public presence as a listed company and finding investors might be difficult.
Once you have secured investors, you'll need to manage these relationships and find ways to provide regular updates and address their concerns. Without an efficient, effective process, this can become overwhelming.
Sitting alongside the valuation and investor challenges are all the manual processes that might have worked when you first started but could now stunt your growth.
You're not alone if you're using spreadsheets to track capital and share ownership, including employee equity. Chances are you're among hundreds of thousands of business owners relying on manual spreadsheets that consume hours of labour and are vulnerable to input errors.
Investor information distributed via individual emails might seem personal, but it's wasting valuable time that could be spent developing your company and risking delivery failures and bouncebacks. This same risk applies to issuing share certificates via individual email as well.
Many growth companies use ESOPs to generate capital and a sense of ownership for their employees. It's a win-win for everyone, but these plans need careful management and maintenance and can add to the valuation and administrative challenges if not established correctly.
We know private companies face many challenges. It's one of the reasons we created FCX. We want to support private companies with a comprehensive solution to streamline their capital raising and management and improve their engagement with potential investors and shareholders.
Listed companies generally have in-house legal and compliance teams to help navigate the complex regulatory frameworks when seeking investment. However, as a private company or small-stage start-up, ensuring that you comply with securities laws, investor accreditation requirements, and other regulations is time-consuming and expensive if you're doing it yourself.
