Ardent CrowdFund Documentation
Everything you need to invest in, or raise capital from, Ghana’s regulated crowdfunding market. Step-by-step guides, offer-document templates, the full 2024 Crowdfunding Guidelines, and a platform reference you can trust.
Regulated Platform
Every campaign on Ardent is offered under the Securities Industry Act 2016 (Act 929) and the SEC Ghana Crowdfunding Guidelines 2024. Issuers are vetted before they go live.
Escrow Protected
Investor funds are held in a regulated escrow account until a campaign closes successfully. If the minimum target is missed, every cedi is refunded, no exceptions.
SEC Ghana Licensed
Ardent Africa Technologies Ltd operates as a licensed crowdfunding intermediary supervised by the Securities and Exchange Commission of Ghana. Compliance is a product feature, not a footnote.
