Republic Europe

Republic Europe is an equity crowdfunding platform where businesses raise money from the public by selling shares in the company. Applicants must be based full time in the UK, the EU, the EEA or Switzerland. Its UK platform is run by Seedrs Limited, an FCA-regulated firm, and investors from the EU have historically opened accounts through it.

What Republic Europe offers

• Equity crowdfunding: public campaigns in which investors buy shares in the company.
• Campaign management: after approval, a dedicated campaign manager helps the business run its raise.
• Campaign length: campaigns run for up to 30 days, though successful ones often fund sooner.
• Community check: the size of the business's community and its pre-commitments must suit the amount it wants to raise.

Who it works with
