Risk Warning
Should you choose to register an expression of interest in investing in a company that has provided information about that investment on this website, you will have done this of your own volition and without relying on any information on this website, other than the information provided by the relevant company and not by or on behalf of Crowdcube. If you are unsure about any aspect of the information provided by the aforesaid company, you should seek advice from an independent financial adviser.
Potential investors should note that an investment through Crowdcube is subject to market fluctuations and there can be no assurance that any appreciation in value will occur. The value of investments and the income from them, can fluctuate and may fall and there is no certainty that an investor will get back any part of his investment. Investment through Crowdcube should be viewed as a long term and illiquid investment. Investors’ interests are unsecured and rank subordinate to other creditors. In the event that a company becomes unable to meet its debts as they fall due, investors may realise less than their original investment. The price which investors may realise for their investments and the timing of any such realisation may be influenced by a large number of factors, some of which are specific to the investment and others of which are extraneous. The ability of an investor to sell shares will depend on there being a willing buyer for such shares at an acceptable price. Consequently, it might be difficult for a n investor to realise his investment.
Many Crowdcube investee companies are recently formed entities and have no substantive operating history upon which prospective investors can evaluate likely performance.
The success of many Crowdcube investee companies will depend in part upon the ability of their Directors to develop and maintain a strategy that achieves the company's investment objectives.
Shares in Crowdcube investee companies are not and will not be listed on a recognised market in the short to medium term and a secondary market in such shares is not expected to develop. Consequently, it may be difficult for a n investor to sell shares and investors may receive less than the amount invested. Share prices may also be subject to fluctuation.
Investors will not be able to claim under the Financial Services Compensation Scheme established by the Financial Services Authority in the event that any Crowdcube investee companies fails.
The foregoing list of risk factors does not purport to be a complete enumeration or explanation of the risks involved. Prospective investors should read the relevant Crowdcube investee companies' Pitch documents in their entirety and consult with their own advisers before deciding to invest.
