Nor is that necessary.
We have made sure that the application and subscription fees are as low as possible.
The fee grows with you as you accumulate more capital.

With this, we want to give every entrepreneur the access to this financing tool that has been used for years by large companies and governments.
At the same time, the low entry level implies that we cannot accept payments after the fact.
We have also deliberately chosen not to charge a separate success fee, for example a percentage of the money you raise from the crowdfunding proceeds.
This means that all proceeds from the sale of your bonds directly and completely benefit your company.
