Foxtrader is a startup that intends to securitize small businesses by allowing them to launch security tokens which will be tradable on the Foxtrader platform.

Allowing any business that is not on the stock market to issue shares to their community and IPO.

The Problem we intend to solve:

Although there are 32.5 million businesses in America, there are only 12,000 public companies on the American Stock Exchanges.
Yes, many small businesses do fail, which makes them a speculative asset, however, if we target the top 10% of businesses and allow them to go public, we should have 3.25 Million Businesses public in America.
This unlocks trillions of dollars in value for both business owners and investors.
The stock market hasn’t been disrupted in decades, this needs to change!

In order to achieve this vision, we have created a simple 4 step plan.

PART ONE: Build a platform that has two types of users

Investors – People looking to invest in businesses that have not yet IPO’d.
Investees – People looking to IPO their businesses.

PART TWO: Allow Investees to IPO in a few simple steps:

Perform Identity Verification
Connect their bank account to our platform via secure API
Our Algorithm will judge a fair value of their business based on several factors
Investee’s will IPO notifying their community to invest
Once Investee’s go public, Foxtrader will automatically create a fractionalized investment token for the Investee under their desired $ticker symbol.

PART THREE: Allow Investors to Buy/Sell & Trade $tickers pegged to Investee’s small businesses.

As the value of the Investee’s business grows, the value of each token will grow.

PART FOUR: Ensure Safety:

As our platform grows with investors & investees, we plan to create an environment based on honesty & integrity. We plan to take all the initiatives to prevent fraud and illegal schemes from occurring on our platform. Down in the FAQs is where we consider some questions we want to answer for ourselves.

How secure will these tokens be?
Which attributes will the $token page have? What will it look like?
