This award is testament to the hard work our team has put in not just over the last six months, but since we started the business more than two years ago.”

Last month, Wealthify launched an equity crowdfunding round on Seedrs to raise £1,000,000 and revealed that more than 500 investors had pre-registered for early access to the initiative on September 9th. The company is described as an affordable and easy-to-use online investment service.
