Browsing campaigns

The Ardent CrowdFund campaign directory is where every live, upcoming, and closed offering is published. Each campaign page carries the same SEC Ghana–approved disclosure set so you can compare opportunities on an apples-to-apples basis. This guide walks you through the /campaigns index, the filters that narrow it down, how to read a campaign card at a glance, and what every section of a full campaign page is telling you.

The campaigns page at a glance

The directory is a scrollable grid of live offerings, newest first by default. Above the grid you'll find three controls:

• Search: free-text lookup that matches company names, tickers, and sector tags.
• Filter panel: opens a drawer with every structured filter listed below.
• Sort order: toggle between Newest, Closing soon, Most funded, Largest raise, and Smallest minimum ticket.

Campaigns that have closed move to the archived tab and remain publicly viewable for record-keeping, but their Invest button is disabled.

Filtering the directory

Filters stack; so you can ask, for example, for debt raises over GHS 500,000 in the agriculture sector that are closing in the next 14 days. Every filter you apply is reflected in the URL, so you can bookmark or share a filtered view.

Instrument type

See Crowdfunding types for the full mechanics of each instrument.

Sector

Sectors follow the Ghana Statistical Service classification so they line up with national data. The most frequently used tags are:

• Agriculture & agro-processing
• Financial services & fintech
• Consumer & retail
• Health, education & social infrastructure
• Energy, utilities & cleantech
• Creative & media

Raise size

A range slider in thousands of Ghana cedis (e.g. GHS 100k – GHS 5M). This is the target raise, not the minimum ticket, use the next filter for that.

Minimum ticket

Caps the campaigns shown to those whose minimum subscription is at or below your selected value. Defaults to any; useful if you are investing under a Tier 1 limit.

Status

• Open: accepting subscriptions right now.
• Upcoming: disclosure pack published; subscriptions open at the listed kickoff date.
• Reserved: fully subscribed, pending close; you can join the over-subscription waitlist.
• Closed: historical record only.

Reading a campaign card

Each card in the directory summarises the offer with seven signals. The diagram below shows where each one sits on the card.

What the funding progress bar means

The bar fills against the target raise, not against the issuer's hard cap. A 100% bar means the campaign has hit its minimum successful close amount, but subscriptions may remain open up to the hard cap (usually 120–150% of target) if the issuer opted into an over-allotment. Once the bar reaches 100%:

• New subscriptions go onto the reserve waitlist in order of receipt.
• If the issuer closes early, waitlisted investors are refunded automatically.
• If the issuer accepts over-allotment, waitlist positions are converted into full subscriptions.

Opening a full campaign page

Clicking anywhere on a card opens the campaign detail page at /campaigns/{slug}. The page is organised as a sticky left nav with the following sections, each of which is required by SEC Ghana's crowdfunding framework:

Overview

A one-screen summary: elevator pitch, what the money will be used for ("use of funds"), headline deal terms, and the core financial highlights.

Financials

Three statements (profit & loss, balance sheet, cash flow) covering the last two audited years where available, plus unaudited management accounts for the current year. Where the issuer has fewer than two years of history, a founders' bootstrap summary is shown instead.

Team

Short bios, role, equity held pre-raise, and any disqualifying events disclosed by each director. Identity of each listed director has been verified by Ardent during the application stage.

Deal terms

The full instrument description: share class (equity), coupon and repayment schedule (debt), conversion cap and discount (convertible). This section mirrors the offer document's legal terms verbatim.

Risks

Issuer-specific risks (sector, concentration, regulatory) plus the standard Ardent risk disclosure. You must tick the risk acknowledgement here before any subscription can be submitted.

Documents

PDF downloads of the offer document, subscription agreement template, audited financials, and the SEC Ghana filing confirmation. Every document is watermarked with your investor ID when downloaded.

Updates

Issuer-posted updates appear here during the live campaign and throughout the investment's lifetime. Updates you would receive by email under Investor reporting are mirrored here for historical reference.

Q&A

A moderated question board. Any investor can post a question; issuers have five business days to respond and all answers are public.

Watchlists and alerts

Click the bookmark icon on any card or detail page to add a campaign to your Watchlist. Watchlisted campaigns appear on your dashboard and trigger push / email notifications for:

• Any new issuer update or Q&A answer.
• 72-hour closing reminder.
• Crossing the 80% funded milestone (signals likely early close).

Doing your own research

Before committing funds, Ardent recommends the following quick checklist:

• Read the full offer document, not just the campaign page summary.
• Cross-reference every unfamiliar term in our Glossary.
• Check how this campaign fits inside your Investor category limits.
• Confirm you understand the illiquidity profile, see Secondary market.
• Post any unresolved questions in the campaign's Q&A tab and wait for the issuer's response.
