How are risks managed in Profitus, and how is it different from other platforms?

We have a professional team that undertakes risk analysis. RE evaluation and business analytics experts evaluate each funded project individually to set a risk rating ranging from A+ to D. We have also developed a unique risk assessment algorithm to determine the rating of the project. This algorithm consists of a wide range of individual indicators and evaluations which not only focus on funding requirements and an appraisal of the property by an independent appraiser, but also the project owner and the final beneficiary, their financial indicators, credit rating, experience and reputation. We furthermore evaluate the project, its potential and concept, business plans, both those presented by the project owner, and the pessimistic scenario plans prepared by us, which incorporate possible market developments and the risks that could affect the project.

Tell us about the Profitus concept, as well as the project's background.

Profitus selects and places on the website projects to which investors are invited to invest according to the terms and conditions set out in the description. Investors are pledged real estate, other property or a surety as security for the return of their investment. During the project period, investors are paid the interest provided for in the project. Profitus oversees the borrower’s timely settlement with investors and fully represents the interests of investors. On the other hand, Profitus is a great help for business as it mobilizes funding from a wide range of investors, manages paperwork, and provides a platform for easy reporting to investors.
