- What Fees Do PleaseFund.Us Take?
We take a flat 5% fee, but only if the project is successful. If the project is unsuccessful all the money is returned to the people that have pledged towards the project and we take no fee at all (there are sometimes paypal costs when a refund is issued). If you are a project owner you should budget about 8% for the PleaseFund.Us fees and the Paypal (payment processor) fees. If you have any questions about this or the process to receive your payment just drop us a message to hi@PleaseFund.Us.

- Why should I use PleaseFund.Us?
PleaseFund.Us is the leading UK based crowdfunding platform. Our unique ability to get projects funded in an incredibly short time span has meant that hundreds of people have come to us to get their brilliant ideas funded.
The platform is really simple and secure to use. We use Paypal to process all the funding transactions and we do not keep the money in our bank account, it is held separately from us and the project owners until the day that they achieve the full funding. If a project fails to achieve the full funding, then all the money (minus the tiny paypal commission) is returned to the people that have supported the project.
Already, PleaseFund.Us have the largest social network following for all of our projects, we have the strongest community and we are always investing in new technology to make your fundraising efforts easier, more efficient and more effective. For more information on how PleaseFund.Us works, please go to How We Work.
- When was PleaseFund.Us started?
PleaseFund.Us got started in 2011 as the brainchild of two frustrated entrepreneurs that had done the rounds trying to raise money for their ideas and come up against the difficulties that all young startups come across. Since its inception the company has gone from strength to strength, helping creative ideas get the funding that they deserve.
