Brickstarter Description
General Information

There is no information about how much has been invested into the projects yet through the platform. Almost all the projects are located in Spain with a minimum investment of EUR 50.
Board & Team
The platform provides information about the management team on their web page.

Financial Analysis

Availability of financial figures, historical loan books bring trust and make the platform more transparent as investors can see the financial health and performance of the platform. Thus, it would help Brickstater to attract investors and build trust if they publish its annual reports and historical loan books.
Platform’s Score and Uniqueness
The platform does not offer a buyback guarantee and personal guarantee to the payment of loans. However, there is collateral to the payment of a loan. Brickstarter does not provide auto-investment and a secondary market. The chance of investment diversification through Brickstarter and the promised return is 5%, which is also justified on their web page. The projects are almost all in Spain, and team members are also from Spain. It can be said that most probably, for some reason, the owners decided to found the platform in Estonia, not in Spain. There is also a conflict of interest between the investment projects and the platform’s owners, as the platform only sells loans issued by subsidiaries. The platform representatives and the company itself can not be found in the registered/stated address, which can be a potential red flag.
