Investor Success

It’s our mission to find Europe’s hottest high-growth business for you to invest in. However, our job goes far beyond presenting you with exciting investment opportunities, we hold and manage your shareholding and support the businesses you back to deliver long-term investor success.

Stay in control with votes on key decisions

Keep updated on key developments

Access pre-emption and follow on rounds

Ensure your shareholding is maintained securely and accurately

Fully managed service when your shares are acquired or pay a dividend

It pays to do good; over £60m of investor returns

Over 50,000 investors have had the chance to realise returns of over £60m from purpose-led businesses that raised with Crowdcube and have been acquired by global brands like Nestle, Europcar, Diageo, EDF, AB InBev & Compass Group.

We’ll coordinate and manage any financial returns owed to you as a result of an exit, secondary share sale or dividend payment.

Please remember that past performance is not a reliable indicator of future returns and your capital is at risk.

A due diligence process you can trust

You’ll get peace of mind from our rigorous due diligence process for businesses before they’re approved to raise growth funding with Crowdcube. Nonetheless, we strongly recommend you do your own research before investing as your capital is at risk.

Fact checked

Our team of legal and compliance professionals fact check every pitch to ensure it is fair and clear

No smoke and mirrors

Peace of mind from our Due Diligence Charter that clearly explains everything we check before approving a business’s pitch

Reduce your risk with tax relief

Generous Government incentives encourage people to invest in high growth businesses. For example, UK investors in EIS or SEIS qualifying businesses can benefit from significant tax reliefs outlined below. Ensure you research the incentives offered in your home country.

Success Fee

Our success is aligned to yours, so we only charge an exit fee if you make a profit on your investment; there are no annual fees for the ongoing support we provide once you've made an investment. If you make a return on your investment, you'll keep 95% of any profit, and we'll take a 5% fee for managing your investment over the years.

The success fee, which is sometimes also known as ‘carry’, covers everything we do to find Europe’s hottest high-growth businesses for you to invest in, and all the work we undertake holding and managing your shareholding on your behalf over the years.

While it’s free to join our investor community, there is a 2.49% charge applied to the amount you invest, which is subject to a minimum of £2.49/€2.49 and capped at a maximum of £250.00/€250.00.

Crowdcube's success fee only applies to profits made on investments in businesses that opened to investment on or after the 1st of April 2021.
