Please describe the team behind CIVISLEND?

14 people with strong background in analytics in real estate, marketing, investment relationships and financing.

How does the platform help manage and minimise risk after a funding round?

Financed projects are typically secured by first-rank mortgage guarantees over the asset, parent-company guarantees, and/or pledges over SPV shares, depending on the project.

Ongoing monitoring is carried out through independent project/construction monitoring, with disbursements released according to certified work progress.

 

What are the costs for investors when using the platform?

No cost. Is free of charge.

What is the CIVISLEND project selection process?

Before publishing any project, Civislend carries out a thorough feasibility and due diligence analysis covering the developer's track record, the underlying asset, and the project's financial structure.

A key metric used is the Loan-to-Value (LTV) ratio: the loan granted to the developer typically represents around half of the asset's appraisal value, providing a margin of security for investors.

Financing is disbursed in tranches according to certified construction progress, verified through independent project monitoring, to ensure funds are used as intended throughout the build.
