Based on innovative and successful models from the UK and Australia, the Trustees of the Hutt Community Radio and Audio Archives Charitable Trust intend to make a public investment offering via equity crowdfunding. With businesses seeking cost effective advertising and the ability to reach a local audience; and with the public increasingly looking for information on what's happening in their own community, there's never been a more exciting time for community radio in New Zealand. We need a team who can help us put together documentation which both meets the statutory requirements (Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013) and is effective at attracting investors. That encompasses legal, accounting, financial planning, community engagement and marketing skills. If you think you have skills and experience which would be useful on such a project, we'd love to hear from you. If you're unsure and would like more information, we're happy to have an obligation-free chat. Wellington or virtual.
Working location
Proposed project steps with time estimates
1. Ensure the legal framework is understood, and prepare a compliance checklist (1 week)
2. Develop budgets (1 month)
3. Develop advertising materials and detailed documentation to send to prospective investors (1 month, concurrent with budgetary work)
4. Open and manage the equity offer (1 - 2 months).
Ideally steps 1 - 3 will take place in 2020, with step 4 in early 2021.
What We Have In Place
We have the basis of the offer; draft budgets; documentation from a similar exercise undertaken by a community station in the UK; expertise in website front and back end; expertise in marketing (though not specifically financial marketing) and PR; skills in publication design and writing; an established Trust structure since 2011; people with a range of experience in the professional radio industry; a qualified company director as General Manager / Managing Director.
