The people were very helpful. However, the system indicated I needed to be verified, and in the end I was already verified.

i have been doing business with Republic for a couple of years and i thought the process for identifying myself was not well done. It gave me a check mark that i had been or my identity had been confirmed, then, at the end, it said it was not confirmed and it might be a week before it was reviewed for confirmation.

Only suitable if looking to invest over 3-5+ years. Investor fees have increased from 1% to 2% of initial investment amount. HMRC don't always issue the tax certificates in the current tax year - it is hard work to claim the reliefs afterwards.

Once we invest very difficult on what we have to do next. Not good communication with the investors

I would give them 5 stars, but they have on couple of occasions left out retail investors on their previous investment rounds. They really don't practice what they preach when comes to their own investments rounds. In addition, their Republic token has been delayed for over 2 years. That's probably why they are way behind Wefunder & StartEngine. At least they practice what they preach by allowing retail investors to participate in their investment rounds.

Compared with the other startup investment aggregation platforms this has the best interface - making it easy to find important information and documentation on each company. However, on two occasions I had investments cancelled as I was not promptly alerted to addition information requests. When I took the necessary action the team mishandled the subsequent follow up communication (different people telling me different things) and the follow-up actions to resolve the issues. Overall, a streamlined platform and process but clearly teething issues.

First of all, I may be a little impatience. However, I did expect by this time that I would have received some kind of paper reports. I do receive plenty of emails and thats fine. I know that I can also log-in and see my investments. It just seems like there should be something coming in. I, also know you have a telephone number I could call, but I haven’t. So, I’m back at the start. Although I am elderly, my daily life is busy, so maybe I just haven’t read enough of your material. Thank you for your time. Coleen Henley Thompson
