2.5% when you initially invest* (min.£/€5.00 and max.£/€ 250) into a primary or a secondary campaign through the Seedrs Nominee. On a primary campaign, the business is running an investment opportunity to raise capital as part of a funding round. A secondary campaign offers equity from existing shareholder(s) (sellers), differing from a primary where equity is issued by the business by issuing new shares.

It is also possible to invest into a business by buying the shares from an existing investor (also called a 'secondary sale') through the Republic Europe Secondary Market., From the 23rd March 2023, the transaction fee for Buyers and Sellers using the Republic Europe Secondary Market will change to a 2%** transaction fee - more information about this can be found below.

*From the 26th March 2024. Before and on the 25th of March 2024, the fee to make an Investment will remain 2% of the amount invested

** Before and on the 23rd of March 2023, the fee to buy/sell shares on the Secondary Market will remain at 1.5% of the total share purchase price

0% periodic holding fees (no annual fees). We will not charge you fees simply for holding your investment.

Fees charged on exit. We align our success with your own, and only charge for providing nominee services if you have made a profit when you exit. This is sometimes called a 'carry' fee or a 'success' fee. The fees charged will depend on which type of exit is available to you (note an exit is not guaranteed):
​

Investing in early stage businesses has traditionally been an illiquid asset class, meaning opportunities to sell are generally few and far between. An opportunity to sell is called an exit event and is so called because it provides investors and/or Founders an opportunity to 'exit' their investment. These can come in the form of an IPO (moving shares from a private holding to a public market), a buyout/takeover/sale (an offer is made to buy a large number of shares thereby taking control of the company) - or when any other transaction is contemplated that would enable you to sell your shares.

In the case of a company exit, it is possible that there may be administration fees incurred as part of the exit. Of the six company exits (not via the Secondary Market) we have completed (as of August '19 and dating back to 2012), we have had one where investors were given the option to transfer their shares into a public market (an IPO). In this case investors were responsible for paying fees to third party brokers (which we facilitated) to enable them to be traded in that marketplace.

Our current broker fees are set out below:

Augmentum Fintech, Chapel Down & Coinsilium – held through Canaccord Genuity Wealth Limited: £30 administration charge plus commission of 0.75% on consideration. For sales of consideration over £10,000, there is a £1 Panel of Takeovers and Mergers (PTM) levy fee.

With the introduction of the Republic Europe Secondary Market (a marketplace where you can sell your share holdings to other investors), we now provide investors an opportunity to sell early and not have to wait for an exit event. The vast majority of investor exits occur through this method today (>99%); the Republic Europe Secondary Market has been hugely successful and is a revolution in the industry. You can find out more about this market in the link above.

To use the Republic Europe Secondary Market:

*Before and on the 23rd of March 2023, the fee to buy/sell shares on the Secondary Market will remain at 1.5% of the total share purchase price.
​
​**Please find a full breakdown of the carry fees at Secondary​ Market fees.

Note that not all shares will be eligible for the Secondary Market and, even if they are, the ability to buy and sell shares will depend on demand. It can be difficult to find a buyer or seller, and investors should not assume that an early exit will be available just because a secondary market exists.
