Can I increase my investment after it is finalized during a rolling close?

[Hariton Vladimirovich]

Can I increase my investment after it is finalized during a rolling close?

Yes you can increase your investment, however this will effectively be made as a new investment.

Because of this, you can only later cancel or amend this part of the investment.

[Heddion]

For example, you had a $1,000 investment finalized and you later invested an additional $600. You can now:

increase your total investment to $1,800 ($1,000 finalized + $600 new + $200 increase),
decrease your total investment to $1,200 ($1,200 locked + $200 new),
cancel your $600 investment (prior to the cancellation deadline) and be left with the original $1,000 investment
but you could not reduce your total investment below $1,000.

Form C: $1,500
The SEC requires fundraising companies to provide certain information on Form C.  This disclosure informs prospective investors and is provided to the SEC.  iDisclose, a third party service provider, helps you complete a Form C in about 9 hours when it would normally take over 4 weeks manually. We also have inhouse staff to help you along the way. You are required to pay this cost up-front when you start using the service.

Financials: $1,000–$4,000
If your financials are not complex, you have been diligent with bookkeeping and you are organized expect this cost to be in the middle to lower range. If you already have GAAP converted financials your costs will be lower. If you have a licensed CPA on the team your costs can be $0. If you use professionals expect the bill to be sent once services are complete.
Video: $0
Spend as little or as much as you want. It’s up to you. Already have a video? Chances are you can use that for your campaign.

Marketing budget: $0
We highly recommend, but do not require, you to spend money on marketing, social media or otherwise. There might be a live event you want to attend, you might decide to have a party. These costs are optional and you decide on the total costs, but can have major impact on how much you raise.

[VincentoDoraimon]

Credit Card: ~3.5%
If you would like your investors to have the convenience of using a credit or debit card for investment a ~3.5% fee is charged by the service provider. For example if an investor uses their card for a $100 investment your fee would be $3.50. This would only apply to investments made with a credit or debit card, and only if the campaign is successful. Please note, currently Token DPA offerings cannot utilize credit card processing.

How is my investment limit calculated on a 12 month rolling basis?

For compliance purposes, we use each offering's closure date to select investments in the rolling 12-month calculation, and not the investment commitment date.

Investment limits are calculated as (Investment commitments as of the date of the campaign they are associated's closing for the next 365 days + any disclosed Title III investments made on other portals).

For example, an investment commitment of $100 made on 1/1/17 for a campaign that closed successfully on 2/1/18, would count as being made and going against an investor's investment limit from 2/1/18 to 2/1/19.

This means that an investment made during a campaign can count against your 12 month rolling investment limit for more than 12 months depending on when the campaign closes. Please consult your investor profile to see your current limit.

Canadian investors should consult with their local regulators and each company's Form C before investing.

What fees does Republic charge?

Investing on Republic is free for Investors.

Companies pay only if they successfully reach their funding goal: 6% of the total funds raised in cash, and 2% as a Crowd Safe.

Companies raising on Republic may also use the proceeds of their successful
financing to pay for the escrow agent and other transaction-related fees. Related: how much does it cost to launch a campaign?

Example using a Crowd Safe: Equity Startup, Inc. raises $100,000 at $10M valuation and hits its funding goal, effectively selling an equivalent of 1% of its equity. Republic takes $6,000 and Crowd Safe with a $2,000 face value (0.02% in an equity equivalent).

Example using a Token DPA: Blockchain Startup, Inc. raises $100,000 
and hits its funding goal, effectively selling $100,000 plus interest in tokens. Republic takes $6,000 and Token DPA with a $2,000 face value (later equivalent for cash or tokens).

Example using a Revenue Share: Revenue Startup, Inc. raises $100,000  and hits its funding goal, effectively selling $100,000 in debt with a revenue right. Republic takes $6,000 and a revenue right with a $2,000 face value (which will entitle Republic to payments as if Republic had put $2,000 into the offering).
