Capital raising
In late 2019, Charley’s successfully completed a crowd funding capital raising, adding another 150 shareholders. To support the capital raising, we used an online platform Birchal, an Australian leader in crowd source funding for specialty retail brands. We were a good candidate with our consumer appeal of ‘most people love chocolate’. To reward our investors, we offer discounts on purchases and complimentary access to Charleys tours.
Manufacturing upgrades
On the manufacturing side, we’re using capital raised to increase tree plantings and purchase additional processing and manufacturing facilities. Our pictorial journey below shows the second MMU and the finished manufacturing compound, with a great view of the Crocodile Range
