About this company
Sharesies is a wealth development platform designed with the purpose of creating financial empowerment for everyone
Their mission:
To create equal financial opportunity for those with a lot, or a little to invest.
What makes this business ethical?
According to Sharesies, finances and investing have been exclusive and inaccessible to a large portion of the population. People have been priced out, jargoned out, and left out of the opportunity to develop their wealth. Financial inequalities emphasize disparity within communities.
Sharesies platform gives people the confidence and control to invest with support and learning from the platform itself. By giving everyone the opportunity to invest (without the financial barriers), Sharesies aims to create a community of financially empowered people, helping to develop a sustainable financial future for everyone.
