Three ways to raise: for your company, through a club deal, or via a fund. Each format has its own pricing, with no hidden costs.
You finance your company's activity: startup, buyout or SME growth. Investors come directly into your equity or lend to you: no intermediary vehicle to create.
With equity, your investors become shareholders (dividends, capital gain on exit). With bonds, they are creditors (periodic interest, principal repaid at maturity), and the interest paid is deductible for your company. The two can be combined, including as convertible bonds.
*Public communication of the offer may require an information document (DIS), see the option below.
Your investors co-invest in a specific asset, identified before they subscribe: real estate, company shares, crypto, equipment, listed shares, commodities, all asset types are eligible. Each one chooses which deals to take part in: management stays non-discretionary.
* Bank fees of 0.2% (up to 0.5% on currency exchange) may be charged on transferred amounts, billed by the bank, excluding Overlord fees.
The Mono format covers one to several deals a year, each voted on individually (deal by deal). The Multi format targets several deals at a high pace over the year, or different assets combined in a single investment pocket. The International format spreads investors across several countries, with assets legally ring-fenced. On tickets, a circle of at most 149 addressable people requires no minimum ticket; beyond that, the ticket is at least €100,000.
You decide the investments on behalf of your subscribers: this is discretionary management. Your investors commit to your thesis, not deal by deal.

Other regulated formats (France or Luxembourg) and management company setup: qualification by appointment.
As soon as your community exceeds 149 addressable people or you communicate publicly about the offer (social media, newsletter, website), a simplified information document (DIS) is filed with the AMF. This is the option that gives retail access to most of our formats: club deal, company fundraising or funds. For multi-deal setups, a single DIS covers all your successive issuances.
If the DIS is filed in several countries, including Belgium which keeps its threshold, the cap applying to all countries drops to €5M.
Legal support, a platform and a back-office, brought together in a single offer.
