What are the fees associated with a Reg CF campaign?

It can be hard for startups and small companies to pay the large fees sometimes required to raise capital. However, in the case of Regulation Crowdfunding offerings, there is a way to raise up to $5M within a 12 month period with very little out-of-pocket costs.

As of October 1, 2021, all new Regulation CF campaigns on StartEngine will have the following fees:

• 7% of the amount raised via domestic ACH transfers and Wires taken out at the time of the disbursement(s) and 11% of the amount raised via domestic credit cards.

• 9% of the amount raised at the time of the disbursement(s) for international investors via ACH transfers and Wires (outside of the United States) and 13% for international credit cards.

• 2% commission paid in the form of securities being offered in the offering.

• 50 basis points of funds committed as a cash management fee taken by the escrow agent, not to exceed $4,000.

• $10,000 Service Fee, which includes Account Management and Campaign Strategist support, deferred and taken out of the campaign's first disbursement.

StartEngine covers all of the remaining escrow fees, accounting fees, Anti-Money Laundering checks, transaction fees, and disbursement fees.

These fees do not include Bad Actor Checks or special exceptions such as check returns for non sufficient funds, or credit card chargebacks.
