Project Description

The company requests 200. 000 € with 3 months of deferred repayment to finance the further development of the software. This project will be realised by the end of the year.

This project is a medium-term loan with a capital amortisation deferment and as such presents a different method of capital repayment than standard projects. The first 3 months, the lenders will only receive interest; the following 45 months, the lenders will receive interest and principal amortization. This principal repayment profile matches the borrower’s financing needs while allowing lenders to earn a higher amount of interest.

As part of their future investment plan, the borrower may come back to the October platform within the coming quarter, up to a maximum exposure of 240000 €. Our analysis takes this into account; the rating of the borrower would not be affected, while the FCCR would become 1,22.

The amount offered on the platform is limited to 98000€, which is in line with the regulatory limits.
