# Fractional

> Fractional is a San Francisco company that lets groups of friends, followers, or strangers co-own investment properties and other assets together through member-run investment clubs. Instead of raising money as a securities offering, each club is a member-owned LLC where everyone is an active participant with voting rights, sidestepping the expensive PPMs and accredited-only rules of traditional syndications. Fractional handles the back office - LLC formation, compliance, bookkeeping, distributions, and K-1 tax filings - so ordinary people can pool small checks into real estate, private lending, and even the occasional laundromat or candy store.

## Products & services

- **Investment Clubs** — Member-owned LLCs where a group pools capital and votes on deals together. Because clubs aren't structured as securities offerings, they avoid PPMs, 506(b)/(c) filings, and accredited-only restrictions - every member is an active participant with voting rights.
- **Back-Office Services** — Fractional handles LLC formation and compliance, bookkeeping, distribution handling, tax filings, and K-1 preparation so clubs can operate without hiring their own administrators or lawyers.
- **Voting & Consensus Tools** — In-app tools for proposing deals and reaching group consensus; most clubs finalize important votes within a day.
- **Community & Sourcing Platform** — A social platform where capital raisers recruit members from their trusted networks and source opportunities across real estate, private lending, and alternative assets.
