Let me clarify why. 

Up to now, Seedrs has needed to work in particular person European markets on a rustic by nation foundation. Working on this vogue concerned advanced and restrictive guidelines round advertising and gross sales (particularly when speaking on to traders) which meant that it was usually an inefficient and difficult course of.
