Selling your shares

Seedrs facilitates a Secondary Market whereby investors can buy and sell shares from each other online. 

Here's how you can submit a request to sell your shares:

  1. Hover your cursor over the Me drop down menu and then, select Portfolio. In My Portfolio, select 'Sell shares' tab.

2. Choose the business, choose how many shares you want to sell and click the Request to sell button. 


Note that not all shares are eligible for the Seedrs Secondary Market and, even if they are, the ability to buy and sell shares will depend on demand - a more comprehensive rundown of what makes a business ineligible to be traded on the Secondary Market can be found in our article 'Why are businesses / share lots ineligible?'. It is also important to note that it can be difficult to find a buyer or seller, and investors should not assume that an early exit will be available just because a secondary market exists.

Investing in the types of businesses hosting campaigns on Seedrs should be seen as a long-term investment activity. It’s also worth noting that you may lose all associated SEIS or EIS tax if you sell your shares within three years of investing.

Publicly listed shares

If you'd like to sell shares from businesses listed on a public market you can also submit your request through the 'Sell shares' tab - our team will then proceed to list the shares for sale on the public exchange market through our broker, Canaccord.

Fees apply - for more information please read find our Help Centre article about fees.
