OWN A PIECE OF ROLEY’S
We’re opening ROLEY’s for investment through a crowdfunding campaign on Republic. This page explains how it works, what to expect, and how to get ready.
What is crowdfunding?
Crowdfunding allows a group of people to invest in an early stage privately owned business and become shareholders.
Instead of a small number of investors, companies like ROLEY’S can open up ownership to their wider community.
Our campaign will be hosted on Republic, a global platform that enables individuals to invest in private companies.
Should you decide to invest, your shares will be held in a nominee structure with Republic, making it easier for us to manage communication and voting, and easier for you to manage your investment, see your investment status and share price, and potentially even sell your shares on their secondary market (subject to platform approval and company status).
Why we’re doing this
We’ve built a strong foundation.
Now we’re ready to grow.
This raise will allow us to:
- Expand internationally alongside partners like HYROX
- Increase distribution across the UK
- Grow into gyms, health clubs, events and retail
- Develop new products beyond lager
- Continue building our brewing technology
We’re opening this up to our community because we believe in the power of networks, and we believe an invested community is more likely to help drive the success of their investments by sharing ROLEY’S products with their friends.
What you receive
If you invest, you become a shareholder in ROLEY’S.
This means:
- You share in the future value of the company
- You are part of our long-term journey
We will also offer a number of community benefits, including:
- Discounts on ROLEY’S products
- Early access to new releases
- Invitations to events
- Access to community experiences
The risks (important)
Investing in early-stage companies is high risk.
You should only invest money you are prepared to lose.
- You may lose all of your investment
- Returns are not guaranteed
- Shares are not easily sold
- This is a long-term investment
Don’t invest unless you’re prepared to lose all the money you invest.
How to invest (step-by-step)
The process is simple and handled through Republic.
Step 1 — Register your interest
The process is simple and handled through Republic.
Step 1 — Register your interest
Sign up to receive early access. Priority access will be given to those who register first.
Step 2 — Create a Republic account
Set up your account on Republic ahead of the launch. KYC checks can take a couple of days, so it’s best to do this early rather than wait until the campaign goes live.
Step 3 — Complete KYC (identity checks)
You’ll be asked to verify your identity. This is a regulatory requirement and helps keep the platform secure. This usually involves:
- Uploading ID (passport or driving licence)
- Providing basic personal details
Step 4 — Choose your investment amount
Once verified, you can decide how much to invest. If you pre-register you’ll be given access to our campaign before it goes live to the general public.
Step 5 — Confirm your investment
Review the details and complete your investment through Republic.
EIS Disclaimer
Investing in ROLEY’S may qualify for EIS (Enterprise Investment Scheme) tax relief.
EIS is a UK government scheme designed to encourage investment in early-stage businesses.
ROLEY’S has received advance assurance from HMRC, which means eligible UK investors may benefit from EIS tax relief.
EIS in simple terms
If you are a UK taxpayer, EIS can offer:
30% income tax relief
You can claim back 30% of your investment against your income tax bill.
No capital gains tax (CGT)
If you hold your shares for at least three years, you won’t pay CGT on any gains.
Loss protection
If the investment doesn’t perform, you may be able to offset losses against your tax.
Carry back
You may be able to apply the relief to the previous tax year.
How to claim your relief
If you complete a tax return you can simply include details of your investment or losses in your return. Otherwise you will receive an EIS certificate from Republic within a few months of making the investment. You can complete this form and return it to HMRC and they will refund you the money via cheque or bank transfer.
Important notes
- You must hold shares for at least three years to benefit from the capital gains tax relief (i.e. you won’t benefit from CGT relief if we sell ROLEY’S within three years, which we don’t currently plan to do)
-Tax treatment depends on your individual circumstances
- Tax rules may change in the future
- We recommend seeking independent tax advice before investing.
EIS Examples
Case 1 — The company performs well
Investment = £10,000
Income Tax relief = £3,000
Shares sold for £20,000
Capital Gains Tax = £0
Total gain = £13,000
Case 2 — The company stays flat
Investment = £10,000
Income Tax relief = £3,000
Shares sold for £10,000
Total gain = £3,000
Case 3 — The company fails (assuming you pay most of your tax at the 40% rate)
Investment = £10,000
Income Tax relief = £3,000
Remaining at risk = £7,000
Loss relief (40%) = £2,800
Actual loss = £4,200
EIS Disclaimer
The availability of EIS tax relief depends on your individual circumstances and may be subject to change.
ROLEY’S has received advance assurance from HMRC, but this does not guarantee that EIS relief will be available to all investors.
Investing involves risks, including loss of capital, illiquidity, lack of dividends and dilution, and should be done only as part of a diversified portfolio. Please read the Risk Warnings before investing. Investments should only be made by investors who understand these risks.
