Which to choose

  • First come is the simplest for small raises: whoever is first gets in, and the progress bar is always accurate.
  • Pro rata at close is fair when demand is uncertain, because timing does not matter. Clients commit during the window and you allocate once.
  • Manual suits relationship-led raises where you want to pick the investors or allocate different amounts.

Note: Concurrent orders are safe: EasyHaus locks the listing while it checks, so two clients can never take the same fraction. In testing, 100 simultaneous orders over 50 fractions accepted exactly 50.

After the decision

In every method an approved order moves to awaiting payment, the client gets the payment instructions, and the deadline starts. See The order lifecycle.
