Assetz Capital
Assetz Capital is a peer-to-peer lending platform connecting investors with small businesses and property developers who are looking to borrow money. They have created four different accounts 30 Day Access, 90 Day Access, Manual Lending and Quick Access to suit different lender’s needs. All of their terms are 1- 60 months with estimated interest rates from 5.10% - 8.07% p.a
The platform helps reduce risk by holding all borrowers assets as security, with the majority of loans being secured against, property, land, equipment, stock machinery, debtors and other assets. Therefore if the borrower fails to pay back the loan Assetz Capital can use the assets to get back some or all of the money owed. Although it is worth noting that the values of assets can vary over the lifetime of the loan and therefore do not lend what you can’t afford to lose. They also asses the borrower on their experience in the industry, an appropriate level of security for the deal proposed, the borrower's ability to repay the loan, and if the exit plans are deemed realistic.
If circumstances change during the life of a loan Assetz Capital may change the interest rate paid by the borrower, for example, if a loan falls into default the platform will charge a default interest rate to the borrower which, if paid, leads to an enhanced interest rates for the lender (excluding investment and Access Account holders) reflecting the increased perceived risk. All of this information will be displayed on the lender dashboard either as a credit event or monitoring event.
In order to reduce the risk of a borrower defaulting Asstez Capital monitor their loan portfolios closely and allow 7 days before they deem any payments to be late. If the payment is still late after 7 days the loan can be deemed as a monitoring event, where the breach of the loan terms can be redeemed easily and the platform will keep a close eye on events by the borrower. If the platform deems a borrower loan as a Credit Event this is treated more seriously and any trading of the loan will be suspended. All information is displayed on the lender dashboard.
What happens if the platform becomes insolvent or stops trading?
The platform has devised a series of plans called the “Standby Plan” which is in place to ensure the investments which have been made are not impacted. There is three points they will look at; firstly to possible transfer the entire platform to another business, secondly to sell the loan book to another lending company or thirdly to wind-down the loan book over the normal terms of the loans and close to any new business.
