Crowdbase fees and charges

1. General Information

The fees and charges associated with investments on Crowdbase vary by campaign.

💡 Important:

• There are no platform-wide fees. Crowdbase does not charge any account opening, maintaining, or closing fees for investors.
• The fees associated with investing in a particular project depend on the terms of that specific campaign.
• Investors must read the Key Investment Information Sheet (KIIS) for each campaign to understand the fees, commissions, and charges that apply.

The Fee Schedule may be updated on a case-by-case basis, depending on the campaign structure and the type of investment offered.

2. Fees for Investors

Campaign-Specific Fees

Each campaign may have different fee structures, including but not limited to:

• Carry Fees on Profits – The carry fee (a percentage charged on investment profits upon a successful exit) is not necessarily 10% across all campaigns. Some campaigns may have a higher or lower carry fee depending on the project's terms.
• Investment Access Fees – Crowdbase may introduce access fees for certain campaigns in the future. These will be clearly disclosed in the KIIS of those campaigns.

💡 Key Takeaway: Before investing in any campaign, always check the KIIS to see the specific fees that apply.

3. Ex-Ante Fee Disclosures

Crowdbase provides full fee transparency before an investment is made, in compliance with Regulation (EU) 2020/1503 (ECSPR).

• All costs and charges are disclosed upfront in the KIIS of each campaign.
• Crowdbase does not charge any upfront platform fees to investors—all fees are linked to specific campaigns.

4. Ex-Post Fee Disclosures

• Investors will receive an annual breakdown of the actual costs incurred for investments made through the platform.
• This report will include all campaign-specific fees, such as carry fees or other investment-related charges.

5. Inducements & Third-Party Payments

Crowdbase complies with Article 8 of ECSPR, ensuring that:

• It does not receive any remuneration, discounts, or non-monetary benefits that create conflicts of interest.
• It only receives fees related to services that enhance the quality of crowdfunding offerings.
• All relevant costs (e.g., custody, regulatory, and payment processing fees) are transparently disclosed in the KIIS of each campaign.

6. Fees for Fundraisers (Companies Raising Capital)

• Commission rates are negotiable based on the campaign structure and fundraising size.
• Due Diligence Fees – A portion of the commission may be payable upfront to cover due diligence costs. This amount will be deducted from the final success-based commission if the campaign is fully funded.

7. Payment Processing Fees

All payment processing fees are borne by the fundraising company, not the investor.

💡 Note: If an investor deposits funds but does not invest, standard payment processing fees will still apply.

8. Right to Modify Fees

Crowdbase reserves the right to revise campaign-specific fees based on the funding structure and investment type.

However, any fee changes will be clearly disclosed in the KIIS of the relevant campaign.
