Symbid is a transaction platform, which means we earn money by processing transactions. Investors pay a small transaction fee of 1% on top of their investment (1.21% including VAT). This transaction fee is paid immediately when money is invested or placed into your Symbid Wallet.
An entrepreneur with an equity crowdfunding campaign on Symbid pays a success fee of 5% on the amount raised, once their campaign is successful (excluding VAT). For loan crowdfunding campaigns the entrepreneur pays a fixed 1% success fee on the amount raised, once the campaign is successful (excluding VAT), plus 1% per year of the term of the loan, immidiately payable at successfull closing of the campaign. For more information see Investing in equity or Investing in loan.
Example:
If you invest EUR 100 in an investment opportunity - or place this amount in your wallet - you pay a 1.21% transaction fee, plus a small online payment free.
An entrepreneur receives EUR 100,000 in investments via an equity crowdfunding campaign. As soon as this campaign was successful, the entrepreneur received EUR 95,000 while Symbid retained EUR 5,000 from the total amount raised.
