How Basic Capital makes money

If you’re reading this, hopefully you’ve had a chance to read our earlier posts. If you haven’t yet, we recommend starting here.

So far, we’ve gone over whether Basic Capital is too good to be true, why we started it, how it works, and why anyone would lend to everyday people to invest in the stock market.

Now, you might be wondering: “How does Basic Capital make money?”

Basic Capital makes money by licensing technology

We are in the business of developing a novel solution for individuals, employers, and financial advisors. For all three types of customers, we make money by charging a set up fee and a monthly account service fee. That’s it.

For individuals, Basic Capital is $10/mo. For employers, $25/mo per employee. And for financial advisors, we have a set up fee and a monthly fee that varies depending on the assets under management invested into Basic Capital on behalf of their client base.

Our mission is to give as many Americans as possible greater exposure to the stock market. We are obsessed with the concept of Universal Basic Capital.

Today, the bottom 50% of the United States population holds less than 1% of the total stocks owned by Americans. Our vision to dramatically increase that number by making it even more rewarding to invest in the stock market: by giving every American the ability to get an endowment into the stock market. If over one hundred million Americans own such a small piece of the market, we believe that we stand to make a lot of money by facilitating a steep increase in ownership, even if we just charge $10/mo to make it happen.

If you’re with us this far, hopefully you feel like you have a better understanding of what Basic Capital is. We hope you’ll join the waitlist, and take part in what we believe is a game changer for the average American worker looking to improve their financial future.
