During this challenging period, we’ve been busy making some essential developments to enhance the capabilities of the platform. For investors and businesses alike are the new financial products planned to launch soon, as we help Reboot Britain.
We will continue to offer higher risk venture debt loans at 15%, however, also launch CBILS government-guaranteed loans at 9.5% and Future Fund opportunities, which are convertible interest-only loans at around 4%- 8% APR where the debt investment can be converted into company equity at a discounted valuation for investors. All returns shown are before fees and bad debt.
From the very start of the pandemic, we have maintained a strong relationship with HM Treasury and the British Business Bank. With our recent CBILS accreditation, we plan to be lending CBILS, government-guaranteed capital to investible entrepreneurs alongside private investments. With the proven technology and talent at Crowd2Fund, we’re well equipped and extremely excited to play our part in the post-lockdown COVID19 recovery.
The new CBILS loan product will see interest rates of around 9.5% APR for borrowers. This is competitive with current market rates. Furthermore, businesses will become part of our community, where they can gain access to additional benefits. Our platform allows entrepreneurs to build their private community of investors to help accelerate their business growth.
We will re-launch the platform spearheaded with the Reboot Britain campaign. This is in collaboration with the HM Treasury’s Future Fund – an exciting new opportunity for innovative businesses to receive government-matched investments. Our Crowd2Fund Reboot Britain campaign hopes to give interest-only returns on investment of around 4% - 8% APR, with the added option of converting the investment to company equity later.
Interest earnings could be higher because these loans are not amortising and will see a different profile of businesses that offer significant benefits over the long-term with equity ownership.
These products offer a truly unique opportunity to secure the success of the very best British entrepreneurs, who are building the future of the economy and stimulating job creation. Crowd2Fund will be using this as an opportunity to grow into a global operation, while also providing an international launch-pad to the forward-thinking global entrepreneurs, in the most future-focused sectors.
