Must have a minimum of $50,000 in "ready" funds 2. Can only receive a withdrawal once weekly ## What about your "Ready" funds? On your withdrawals page, funds are categorized as "pending" or "ready." Only "ready" funds are available to withdraw. For your first withdrawal, you need to have "ready" funds at or above your campaign minimum funding goal. Pending funds do not count towards this. For subsequent withdrawals, you must have at least $50,000 in "ready" funds available, and you can receive a withdrawal once a week. ## How to request your withdrawal **Step 1: Go to your withdrawals page.** Visit https://wefunder.com/[your-company]/withdrawals with your company URL slug. **Step 2: Check your "ready" balance.** Review the "Ready" section for the total funds you can withdraw. **Step 3: Click the "Request Funds" button.** Click this to initiate your withdrawal request. If this button is not clickable, it usually means one or more prerequisites are incomplete, or insufficient "ready" funds are available. ## What happens after you request - Your request will be reviewed (We review fund requests weekly on every Monday and Tuesday). - You will be asked to e-sign contracts related to your withdrawal. - After signing, your disbursement will move to the "withdrawn" stage - In the "withdrawn" stage, we are queuing up the funds for wire, which will typically arrive in your bank account within one or two business days. ## Common Issues and Blockers If you cannot click the "Request Funds" button, check: - Have you raised at least your minimum funding goal? - Have you saved your wire information correctly in your withdrawals dashboard? - Do you have enough "ready" funds? For the first withdrawal, ready funds must meet or exceed your campaign minimum; for subsequent withdrawals, you need at least $50,000 ready. Tracking your progress and reviewing all these statuses on the withdrawals page will usually highlight what is blocking your withdrawal request. ## FAQs - **"What if some of my investors are still pending?"** Pending funds do not count towards your "ready" balance. Once those funds clear, they move to "ready" and can be withdrawn. - **"Can I request multiple withdrawals?"** Yes, after your first withdrawal, you can request additional withdrawals as long as you have $50,000 or more in ready funds, with a minimum interval of 1 week between requests. - **"What if my wire information is rejected?"** You will be notified to fix inaccuracies. Common issues are typos or submitting a personal account instead of a business account. Regularly checking your withdrawals dashboard helps you track your eligibility and resolve blockers early.
