HeavyFinance investing platform overview

The HeavyFinance platform works through crowdfunding, where agricultural loans are financed by many different investors from all over Europe. All the loans offered by this investment platform are secured by collateral for heavy machinery or by a personal guarantee from the farm owner. It is important to note that the HeavyFinance platform acts as an intermediary between farmers and investors and does not issue loans itself. HeavyFinance has a historical return on investment of around 12% and the average term of loans financed is 28 months. The platform has opened offices in Poland, Portugal and Bulgaria.

HeavyFinance buyback guarantee

The HeavyFinance investment platform does not provide a Buyback Guarantee for loans in arrears. On the other hand, all loans financed on this platform are secured by a pledge of heavy machinery or a personal guarantee from the farmer. Therefore, even if the borrower defaults on the loan, the investors' interests are sufficiently protected. Heavy machinery is a highly liquid asset on the market and in the event of the borrower's insolvency, the pledged assets can be sold quickly.

HeavyFinance secondary market

The HeavyFinance platform has a secondary market where investors can sell their investments or buy them from other investors. When investments are sold, the seller is charged a fee of 1% of the value of the investment sold. The services of the secondary market are free of charge for buyers. Liquidity on the secondary market depends on the activity of the investors registered on the platform, so selling an investment may sometimes have to wait for other investors to show interest.
