Crowdfunding comes from the union of the words crowd, in English collective or group, and funding, in English to finance. Therefore, the most accurate translation would be collective or collaborative investment, i.e., many small investors grouping together to launch a project, in our case, a real estate project.

Crowdfunding platforms, such as wecity, are companies authorised by the National Securities Market Commission (CMNV) and dedicated to bringing together a group of individuals or legal entities that offer financing for a specific project in exchange for returns, with individuals or legal entities that request financing to develop a project. These companies are professionally dedicated to this purpose and do it through websites or other electronic channels.

If you want to know how real estate crowdfunding works, click here.

The main difference between crowdequity and crowdlending is the way in which investors participate in the project. In this sense, while in crowdequity the investors are part of the company's shareholding and therefore have the right to dividends, crowdlending is based on a loan to the Sponsor and the investors receive the previously agreed interest, either at a variable or a fixed rate.

Right to decide: In crowdequity, investors participate in the decision-making process through the Annual General Meeting. In crowdfunding, investors accept the conditions and the destination of the loan beforehand and have no decision-making power.

In addition, there is a very important aspect that differentiates the two options: tax benefits. While crowdequity implies a tax credit based on the amount contributed in capital from 5% of the total, in crowdlending there is no such credit.

According to current legislation, “investors are a number of individuals or legal entities that offer financing in exchange for a monetary return and may be both accredited and non-accredited."

This differentiation sets the limits for wecity users. If you are a non-accredited investor, you have an investment limit of 3,000 euros per project and 10,000 euros (including other participatory financing platforms); while if you are an accredited investor, you have no investment limit.

Opportunities" is how we refer to the set of real estate projects in which you can invest.

According to legislation, "an opportunity is synonymous with a crowdfunding project. The project must contain a concise description in non-technical language so that the average investor can judge the project's financing decision on an informed basis".

See wecity opportunities here.

According to Article 57 of the Legal Framework for crowdfunding platforms, in order to be a Sponsor "one must be duly constituted in Spain or in another Member State of the European Union. In the case of natural individuals, their fiscal residence must be in Spain or in another Member State of the European Union".

All the funds allocated to wecity opportunities are safely deposited in a segregated account of Banco Sabadell, opened by the Lemon Way Payment Entity, a company registered as a Community Payment Entity operating in Spain by the Bank of Spain. In other words, each investor's money is segregated both from other investors and from wecity. Furthermore, collections and payments on behalf of investors are supervised by a regulated entity that is independent of wecity.

On the other hand, as an investor you have no liability to third parties and the loss is always limited to the invested capital.

Each Sponsor specifies the minimum investment in each project.

Keep in mind that the maximum investment for non-accredited investors is 3,000 euros and that there is no limit for those who are accredited. If you want to know the differences between investing without limits and investing with limits, do not hesitate to visit the section: Benefits of being an accredited investor

To do this, go to the opportunity where you want to invest and click on the "invest" button, from where you can select the payment method (bank transfer or card).

We remind you that it is not possible to deposit cash into the bank account provided in your private area.

Lemon Way will provide you with an electronic wallet where you will be able to see the status of your capital at any time. This reduces risk as the funds are kept in a safe place while the investment opportunity reaches its funding target. Once the target is reached, the funds are transferred to the Sponsor for execution. See the Investor´s Safety and Protection section for more information on our security measures.

The capital allocated to an opportunity is blocked in your wecity wallet until the financing for the project is completed or the project is rejected.

Log in to your private area, go to "My wallet" section and click on the "withdraw funds" button.

If you want to deposit your capital through a bank transfer, we will send you an email indicating the account number where you should transfer the money and a link to access in order to upload the transfer receipt. Remember that you should not attach the receipt to the email.

Please check that the receipt contains the same information you provided: account holder, IBAN, concept, amount, beneficiary and IBAN of destination.

If the link does not work correctly, you can copy the address and paste it in your web browser. If this does not work either, you must send us the receipt as soon as possible to soporte@wecity.io indicating your name and the name of the opportunity in the CONCEPT field. Please be aware that without this document we will not be able to guarantee your reservation.

If you choose to invest via credit card, the investment process will open a payment gateway to enter your credit or debit card details.

In a nutshell, it is a transaction in which an asset is bought, renovated, rented and sold.

In this type of strategy, priority is given to the rental potential of each property, although it is also taken into account whether the asset is below market price and if it is in an area that offers rental opportunities.

In this regard, a distinction is made between residential rental, which is intended for traditional or holiday rental, and commercial or industrial rental, which is intended for the longer term.

Yes Remember that you have to be an accredited investor to be able to get the 100% of an opportunity. Sponsors can set minimum and maximum limits.

At wecity, we want you to read about the risks that may be associated with an investment before investing.

All the opportunities that are listed on our platform have been analysed in depth by the wecity team, which includes financial and real estate experts. On the page dedicated to each opportunity you will find all the information about the project so that you can analyse it and make an appropriate investment decision.

Please note that until your account is validated, we will not be able to confirm your funds reservation.

When the investment is completed, you will receive the investment agreement. However, it can take up to ninety days between the successful completion of the investment and the investor receiving the legal documents from the Commercial Registry.

The funds are deposited in a segregated account until the opportunity is successfully completed and they are then transferred to the Sponsor. If the project does not reach its target, the funds are transferred back to the investor's bank account.

When 100% of the funding is raised, opportunities remain open until 125% of the target capital is reached, which is when the investment is closed. Once closed, it can take up to seven days before the funds are transferred to the designated project.

You can check your investments in your private area under the "MyCity/My Investments" tab.

Each equity opportunity has a different return which combines the return generated by the rent and the return generated by the increase in the value of the asset, in the Rental opportunities, and the return generated by the increase in the value of the asset in the case of Capital Gain opportunities. In other words, these opportunities offer monthly revenue and a capital gain at the end for the Rental scheme and a capital gain at the end for the Capital Gain (value add) scheme.

Wecity identifies the existence of false, incomplete or outdated data in the investor's registration information available to Wecity at any given time or in the information provided during the registration process of a project.

Overfunding occurs when an opportunity raises more capital than is necessary according to the established target. In these cases, there are two possible solutions:

Partial investment: When part of the investor's contribution goes into the opportunity and another part has been left out (and will be reflected as Available Credit within the Private Area).

Standby/Pending investment: When the investment has not been included in the opportunity and cannot be completed but, if a previous application is rejected, the user is on hold and can enter as an investor in the project.

Investors established in Spain > Legal entities > Equity investment

In Spain, investors will have to pay corporate income tax on the dividends received at a general rate of 25 %. However, dividends will be exempt from corporate income tax if certain requirements are met: mainly, a shareholding of more than 5%, uninterrupted ownership during the year prior to the day on which the profit becomes payable and, in the case of shareholdings in entities not resident in the Spanish territory, that the entity has been subject to and not exempt from a foreign tax similar to corporate income tax at a rate of at least 10% in the year in which the profits to be distributed were obtained. In addition, if such dividends have any connection with a foreign country, they may also be taxed abroad, in which case, provided that the dividends are not exempt in Spain and certain requirements are met, investors may deduct the tax paid abroad from their corporate income tax.

Investors not established in Spain > Individuals or legal entities without a permanent establishment > Lending investment

Investors will only be taxed in Spain on interest received if it has been obtained from individuals or entities which are residents in the Spanish territory or permanently established in Spain, if it rewards the provision of capital used in Spain or if it derives from economic activities carried out in the Spanish territory without the intermediary of a permanent establishment. If such interest is taxed in Spain, investors will be taxed under the Non-Resident Income Tax at a rate of 19%. However, such interest will be exempt if it is earned by residents of a country within the European Union as long as it is not earned through tax havens. Furthermore, such interest could also be taxed in the investor's State of residence, in which case it will be necessary to analyse whether there is any mechanism to avoid double taxation; specifically, whether Spain has signed a Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement with that other State.

Investors not established in Spain > Individuals or legal entities without a permanent establishment > Equity investment

Investors will only be taxed in Spain on dividends received if the entity from which they are derived is resident in Spain or if they derive from economic activities carried out in the Spanish territory without the intermediation of a permanent establishment.

However, such dividends will be exempt if they are distributed by subsidiaries resident in the Spanish territory to their parent companies resident in other Member States of the European Union or to the permanent establishments of the latter located in other Member States. Furthermore, such interest could also be taxed in the investor's State of residence, in which case it will be necessary to analyse whether there is any mechanism to avoid double taxation; specifically, whether Spain has signed a Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement with that other State.

If such dividends are taxed in Spain, investors will be taxed under the Non-Resident Income Tax at a general rate of 25 %. However, such dividends will be exempt if certain requirements for the application of the exemption to avoid double taxation of dividends are met: mainly, a shareholding of more than 5%, uninterrupted ownership during the year prior to the day on which the profit becomes payable and, in the case of shareholdings in entities not resident in the Spanish territory, that the entity has been subject to and not exempt from a foreign tax of an identical or analogous nature to corporate income tax at a nominal rate of at least 10 % in the financial year in which the profits to be distributed were obtained. Additionally, such dividends will also be exempt if they are distributed by subsidiaries resident in the Spanish territory to their parent companies resident in other Member States of the European Union or to the permanent establishments of the latter located in other Member States. Furthermore, such dividends could also be taxed in the investor's State of residence, in which case it will be necessary to analyse whether there is any mechanism to avoid double taxation; specifically, whether Spain has signed a Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement with that other State.

In general, interest and dividends taxed in Spain will be subject to withholding tax provided that the Sponsor is an individual resident in Spain carrying out economic activities, an entity resident in Spain or an entity or individual operating in Spain through a permanent establishment. The withholding rate will be 19%.

In general, the person responsible for withholding tax on interest or dividends subject to taxation in Spain and paying the amount to the Spanish Treasury will be the Sponsor, provided that the latter is an individual resident in Spain carrying out economic activities, an entity resident in Spain or an entity or individual operating in Spain through a permanent establishment.
