Why no percentage
A platform paid a share of the money raised has a reason to push deals. DoorRaise is paid the same whether a deal raises $1M or $5M, so our only job is to make the raise easy, safe and transparent.

Questions
What do you handle for me?
Formation, filings and tax documents, all included in our fees: the legal company (LLC) for your deal, investor documents from attorney-approved templates, the filings, accreditation checks, the deal’s business bank account, investor payouts and K-1s. DoorRaise isn’t a law firm and can’t give legal advice about your own situation.
How do investors get paid?
At closing we set up a business bank account in your deal’s name with you (we use Mercury, and there’s no DoorRaise fee for it), and each investor adds their own bank details through the bank’s secure page. When the property pays out, we work out every investor’s share, including any preferred return and profit split, and queue a payment to each of them. You approve the batch once and the money goes straight to their accounts by ACH, with an email to each investor and a record in their portal.
Do I need my own followers?
Yes. DoorRaise is built for sponsors who raise from their own friends and followers. We’re not a marketplace and we don’t supply investors, so the people you share your link with are who can invest.
Who pays the fees?
You pay the $500 setup fee when you submit your deal. The deal pays the $5,000 closing fee out of the money raised, and the $3,500 yearly fee out of the property’s income. Every fee is on the deal’s fee card, so investors see exactly what DoorRaise costs before they commit.
What if the raise doesn’t close?
You never pay the closing fee or the yearly fee. The $500 setup fee covers forming your deal’s company and is non-refundable, even if you withdraw the deal or it doesn’t close. Every investor gets their money back from escrow.
Is the closing fee refundable?
Yes. If a closing is unwound or rescinded, DoorRaise refunds the $5,000 closing fee.
Is there a percentage of the raise or of profits?
No. DoorRaise never takes a share of the money raised or of the deal’s profits.
Are there any other fees?
No. State filing fees are included in the $5,000 closing fee, and there are no per-investor, software or seat fees.
Do investors pay anything directly?
No. Investors never get a bill from DoorRaise. Our fees are paid by the sponsor or the deal and shown on its fee card.
