Why tokenize?
Find out how an STO helps business owners
Why an STO?
Companies in each phase have their own challenges when it comes to accessing capital markets and financial growth.
Traditional solutions may feel safe because they are familiar, but they can have major drawbacks. Digital technology offers cost-effective, flexible solutions that are just as safe (if not safer).
The technology used may be new for you and the jargon may seem complex, but that’s why we’re here to help.
Tokenization of shares frees new routes to increased liquidity and business growth. It’s innovative, future-oriented, and secure. Since it’s also cost-effective and flexible, the tokenization of your company enables you to easily share profits with employees, suppliers, and other stakeholders you wish to include in your organization.
ICO
Utility Token Offering- Enables funding of start-ups and new projects.
- Ownership of the asset is not distributed. You keep full ownership.
- The token holder has very limited rights if any.
- Investors are financially motivated.
STO
Security Token Offering- Fit for scale-ups and established businesses.
- The token holder has legal rights derived from the financial instrument, including dividend and voting rights, which is not the case for utility coins.
- Investors are co-owners expressing a more long-term engagement.
- Security tokens can be transferred freely peer-to-peer between white-listed participants without a notarial deed.
- The underlying blockchain technology provides transparency and security.
- New to many people, so may require more explanation.
IPO
Initial Public Offering- Fit for established businesses.
- The shareholder has legal rights, including dividend and voting rights.
- Familiarity with a traditional method.
- Expensive (requires either listing on a stock exchange or paying a notary fee upon every transfer).
- Transactions can take about 30 days whereas STO transactions are executed in less than 3 minutes.
Other
Venture capital- Involvement of one big stakeholder that provides knowledge, funds, and contacts.
- Involvement of one big stakeholder.

Why Liqwith?
Our name is the result of combining two words that represent our philosophy: ‘Liquid’ as in transforming value into liquid assets to be used for continued business growth, and ‘With’ as in inviting participants to share ownership and profits with.
Before founding Liqwith, we ate our own dog food. The very first company for which we organized a Security Token Offering (STO) was Byelex, the IT company of one of our shareholders. Liqwith successfully organized this STO, realizing huge cost savings and proving the low barrier possibilities in attracting funding.
We have scaled up to help dozens of companies to do an STO following our proven process.
Liqwith is co-founder of Dutch Crypto Delta, a multidisciplinary collaborative partnership between notary, accountancy, banks, marketing, trading houses and exchanges with the aim of facilitating all elements of STOs.
