In Bolsa Social, you can lend money to companies with a positive social impact and obtain up to 8% return, or become a shareholder of social impact startups.
The Law distinguishes between “accredited” and “non-accredited” investors according to their knowledge, experience and aversion to risk. “Non-accredited” investors may not invest more than €3,000 per project or more than €10,000 per year in different Bolsa Social projects. Accredited investors are not limited in the amount or projects in which they can invest.
If the campaign is successful, La Bolsa Social charges the entrepreneur up to 6% of the amount raised, plus 500€ annually during 5 years. This includes transfer fees. If the campaign is not successful, La Bolsa Social only charges a publication fee of 1000 €.
In addition, Bolsa Social has other lines of business independent of participatory financing rounds, such as the private search for impact investors (M&A consultancy), or the search and management of public financing (grants, Enisa …), among others.
