How can we help you?

To fill out a selling or buying application, navigate to your investor account on CrowdedHero to the section Secondary market. From there, compose a listing indicating whether you wish to sell or buy shares from a specific company, number of shares and price of one share. Your order will then be displayed on the Secondary Market for other users to view.

The secondary market is a platform or space where investors can buy or sell previously issued securities, such as shares of a company. In the context of CrowdedHero, it is a dashboard-style marketplace where investors can either advertise their intention to sell company shares they've previously purchased or express their interest in buying shares from other investors.

According to the legal enactments of the Republic of Latvia, a capital company registered in Latvia pays corporate income tax (CIT) on distributed dividends at the rate of 20%. When determining the base subject to corporate income tax, the value of the taxable object is divided by a coefficient of 0.8. Residents of Latvia - natural persons, when receiving dividends, shall not pay personal income tax, because the CIT paid by the capital company also includes this tax.

Non-residents - natural persons may be obliged to pay personal income tax on dividends paid by a capital company registered in Latvia at the rate and in accordance with the procedure stipulated in the legal enactments of the country of residence.
For non-resident legal entities, even if the country of registration has a lower CIT tax rate, a tax rate of 20% will be applied when paying dividends from a capital company registered in Latvia.

Investing in shares is possible in two different ways - using the direct investment model or the indirect investment model (SPV). As you can guess from the name, the direct investment model assumes becoming a shareholder without intermediaries, in return receiving dividend payments or earning through an increase in the value of shares or capital at the time when the company is bought by the investor.

The indirect investment model assumes that a company specially established for this purpose (SPV) becomes a participant in the company in which the funds will be invested. Each of the investors registers in the register of shareholders of the SPV, and the SPV distributes dividends and will also act as a representative of the investors if the shares of the project owner's company are sold.

Despite the fact that CrowdedHero can offer investments in companies" equity from almost all of Europe, we pay special attention to new and growing Latvian companies that stand out with innovative and potentially profitable ideas. Why make investments in Latvia and invest in shares in companies registered here? There are several reasons for this:

• supporting local business - investing money in one of the local companies means that local entrepreneurs receive support, and financial resources continue to circulate in the local economy;
• better known market – in most cases we are better acquainted with local cultural, legal, political, social and other nuances, which are not unimportant to understand the long-term potential of a business idea;
• the opportunity to earn significantly - regardless of where the investment projects are located, with crowdfunding there is a opportunity to increase your capital, and the Latvian market is no exception. True, it should be taken into account that there is always a risk of partially or even completely losing the investment.

In summary - buying shares of Latvian companies is definitely the right thought to consider, only before that we recommend that you familiarize yourself with the specific business idea.

We offer to invest money not only in Latvian, Lithuanian and Estonian companies, but also in many other countries. Companies registered and operating in the European Union (EU) or the European Economic Area (EEA) can apply for investment on CrowdedHero.
