The Framework Agreement is a contract for the provision of investments in real estate projects between INVEST IN SLOVAKIA and you, concluded on the basis of the Investor Account activation process.

You will receive an email and SMS confirmation that your Investor Account is active.

Please use your variable symbol in the payment order to the INVEST IN SLOVAKIA bank account. The variable symbol in this case is your unique investor ID (investor account), which you will receive by registering for INVEST CLUB. The funds are credited to the Invest in Slovakia account within working days, usually within 24 hours. Once credited, the funds are immediately transferred to your active Investor Account in the section 'available funds'. You can dispose of the available funds as you wish.

Your first bank transfer is also a verification bank transfer, which serves to complete the validity of the Framework Agreement between you and INVEST IN SLOVAKIA.

The transfer can be made from a European Union bank account only. In the case of a transfer in a currency other than EUR, the investor bears the risk associated with the exchange rate.

Do not worry! Enter your unique variable symbol (identification code) in the reference field and our system will automatically match your payment with your investor account.

Investori na našej platforme môžu získať aj DARČEK. Je to samostatná transakcia, ktorú Investor získa po zrealizovaní alebo schválení investície do 24 hodín priamo do disponibilných prostriedkov. Túto čiastku môže Investor použiť na ďalšiu investíciu samostatne alebo spolu s ďalšími finančnými prostriedkami, ktoré si vloží na svoj Investorský účet.

Example:
Ak je nastavený DARČEK v hodnote 100 € pri investícii nad 2 000 €, tak Investor, ktorý zainvestuje do ľubovoľného projektu aspoň 2 000 €, získa 100 € po zrealizovaní alebo schválení investície priamo do disponibilných prostriedkov.

Investori na našej platforme môžu získať dva druhy BONUSOV – predrezervačný a last-minute bonus. Bonusy využívajú vlastníci projektov, aby zatraktívnili financovanie ich projektov. Bonus predstavuje 0,5 % až 2 % z výšky istiny a je limitovaný časom. Pripisuje sa okamžite ako samostatná transakcia, neúročí sa a vypláca sa na konci investičného obdobia projektu spolu s istinou.
Aktuálne bonusy nájdete v ponuke kampaní a taktiež o nich informujeme aj emailom. Preto ak nechcete nič zmeškať, nezabudnite sa prihlásiť na odber noviniek emailom.

Example:
Ak je nastavený predrezervačný bonus 1 % a Investor zainvestuje sumu 1 000 €, pripíše sa mu k investícii samostatná transakcia predrezervačný bonus vo výške 10 €. Bonus sa vyplatí v deň, kedy je splatná aj istina (zainvestovaných 1 000 €).

You invest in a participation in an investment project by means of a special-purpose loan, which is granted to the Main Investor following the investment project presented. This is arranged by INVEST IN SLOVAKIA, which concludes the Loan Agreement on your behalf and with your consent, subject to compliance with all the terms and conditions set out.

INVEST IN SLOVAKIA actively searches, performs legal, technical, and economic due diligence for financing investment projects. It provides credit and protection processes for all creditors (investors) who have the opportunity to participate in investment projects with various attributes under pre-agreed conditions, starting from a minimum investment amount of 100 €.

The participation gives the investor the right to participate in the profits and losses arising from the Loan Agreement concluded by INVEST IN SLOVAKIA with the Project Owner. The share in the profits and losses arising from the Loan Agreement is directly proportional to the amount of the participation received by the investor for its investment. 

Ak investor investuje 1 000 EUR formou úveru a spolupodieľa sa na úvere v celkovej výške 100 000 EUR, to znamená, že dostane 1 % z celkových výnosov.

The owner of the project can be the developer or the main investor of the project, who submits a loan application to the INVEST IN SLOVAKIA portal.

Investing is only for investors for whom the potential loss of part or all of their investment will not mean a significant deterioration in their economic situation.

You need to have an activated Investor Account and sufficient available funds in the amount of the planned investment. You will be signing the Investment Order via SMS code, so you will also need to enter your phone number.

An investment order is a document that creates a commitment to provide you with an investment after you select a specific investment project from the current INVEST IN SLOVAKIA offer and confirm it with your electronic signature, SMS code. The investment order forms an integral part of the Framework Agreement.

The details of the individual risks of participation in an investment project are reflected in the details of each investment opportunity. You can always familiarise yourself with the possible risks of participation in a given investment project before the investment itself.

You need to log in to the INVEST IN SLOVAKIA platform and access your active Investor account. To invest, you need to have enough available (free) funds in your account, which you can top up by transferring to INVEST IN SLOVAKIA's bank account. When making the transfer, do not forget to indicate your unique variable symbol. 

You then select the investment opportunity and press the Invest button. You will be taken to the Investment Order where you will select the amount to invest. 

After pressing the Order Investment button, a document will be generated for you to sign. 

You sign the investment with the SMS code that was delivered to the phone number you entered. Finally, you confirm it with the Finish button. 

Once the investment is complete, your available funds are reserved until the fundraising (investment opportunity campaign) closes. If this happens, you will receive information via email and SMS. 

From the date of the successful fundraising, your investment amount will be appreciated according to the agreed terms of the specific investment project. 

If the fundraising is not successful, your invested amount will be credited back to your available funds, the money becomes free from that moment on and you can dispose of it as you wish.

A campaign for a specific investment project that runs for a period of time in order to raise sufficient funds to provide a special purpose loan to the Project Owner.

The amount invested must be between the minimum and maximum investment amount. This information is given in the specific parameters of the investment project. As a general rule, the minimum amount is 100 EUR and the maximum amount that an investor can invest in one project is 30,000 EUR.

For investments over EUR 30 000, please contact us directly by phone or email. These details can be found on the website in the Contact section.

Po investovaní ľubovoľnej čiastky v rozmedziach minimálnej a maximálnej sa  táto časť Vašich disponibilných prostriedkov stáva rezervovaná až do úspešného naplnenia fundraisingu (kampane investičnej príležitosti), resp. do termínu uzatvorenia fundraisingu.

If the fundraising was successful, the amount you invested is invested and you receive a return on that investment as agreed. 

If the fundraising is not successful, the invested amount will be credited back to your available funds, the money becomes free and you can dispose of it as you wish.

The funds raised from each campaign are banked so that they cannot be tampered with. The funds will only be released to the project owner's account if the project owner has fulfilled all the conditions beforehand. All the conditions set by the Project Owner for the disbursement of the investment are detailed in the details of the individual investment campaigns.

A Reserved Investment is created at the time of the Investment Order and expires at: 

- successful fundraising, where the reserved investment becomes an investment and you get a participation in the investment project. 

- unsuccessful fundraising, when the reserved investment is returned to your available funds.

Kampaň bez stanovenej minimálnej potrebnej sumy sa uzavrie a investuje podľa vopred stanovených podmienok. Projekt sa následne dofinancuje v nasledujúcej kampani. 

Ak je na kampani stanovená minimálna potrebná suma a tá sa nenaplní, všetky rezervované prostriedky sa Vám vrátia do disponibilných prostriedkov. Odtiaľ ich môžete ľubovoľne investovať inam, počkať, či bezplatne vybrať.

An investment made or reserved can no longer be revoked. The invested or reserved funds will be returned to you based on the terms of the specific investment project with the proceeds, or in the case of unsuccessful fundraising when they will be sent back to you among your available funds.

No later than the second business day after the day on which the payment from the Main Investor (debtor) has been credited to our account. We will inform you by email and SMS when the proceeds have been credited to your investor account. The proceeds will be credited to your available funds from where you can dispose of the funds as you wish.

Throughout the term of the loan, we are in close contact with the Project Owner and monitor compliance with the terms and conditions agreed in the loan agreement. If a situation arises where the Project Owner fails to repay any portion of the loan, we have the right to intervene and exercise the rights and penalty mechanisms of the Intermediary Agreement, designed to compel the Project Owner to properly perform its obligations. We have legal mechanisms in place to ensure proper repayment of the loan. In the event that there is a default in repayment or non-payment of any part of the loan, we endeavour to resolve the existing situation without delay in the interest of all investors involved in the investment project. We will review the situation of the Project Owner within a short period of time and together with the legal team we will propose possible procedures for the recovery of the outstanding debt.

As a first step, we will try to reach an out-of-court settlement and find a solution that satisfies all investors with a stake in the investment project in the shortest possible time. At this point, we may attempt to reach an agreement with a third party that will purchase the outstanding debt owed by the Project Owner and secure a quick recovery of the amount owed to all investors. 

If we determine that the reason for non-payment of any portion of the loan is due to the Project Owner's uncooperative attitude and the Project Owner's breach of the terms of the Loan Agreement, we will proceed to court and assert claims to the property rights that were part of the Loan Agreement. In extreme situations, we also take up the matter with the law enforcement authorities of the Slovak Republic. 

Whenever possible, we have mechanisms in place where, together with our team of lawyers, we can react promptly and do our best to compensate creditors for their participation in a given investment project.

Na základe Nariadenia Európskeho parlamentu a Rady (EÚ) 2020/ zo 7. októbra 2020 o európskych poskytovateľoch služieb hromadného financovania pre podnikanie a o zmene nariadenia (EÚ) 2017/1129 a smernice (EÚ) 2019/1937) môžu crowdfundingové platformy vykonávať svoju činnosť len na základe povolenia oprávneného poskytovateľa služieb hromadného financovania.

Pre už existujúce crowdfundingové platformy bolo stanovené prechodné obdobie do 10. novembra 2023 dokedy musia získať oprávnenie poskytovateľa služieb hromadného financovania. Túto iniciatívu Európskeho parlamentu a Rady EU sme uvítali a v súčasnosti sa nachádzame v procese prípravy, aby sme mohli toto povolenie získať. Udeľovanie povolení na výkon činnosti poskytovateľa zabezpečuje regulačný a kontrolný orgán, ktorým je Národná banka Slovenska v spolupráci s Európskym orgánom dohľadu (Európsky orgán pre cenné papiere a trhy).

Following the credit crunch and subsequent recession, banks' risk appetite has been significantly reduced, meaning that banks have tightened their lending criteria. Banks have strict criteria that are not borrower-friendly and therefore many loan applications are rejected. INVEST IN SLOVAKIA is a small and flexible organization that is willing to help companies that have been refused funding by banks despite their strong business plan and solid collateral.

INVEST IN SLOVAKIA is an intermediary of real investments, we do not offer asset management. All investment contracts are signed between the borrower and the investor, INVEST IN SLOVAKIA only mediates the transaction. All client funds are segregated from INVEST IN SLOVAKIA's operating funds. Should INVEST IN SLOVAKIA experience financial difficulties or go bankrupt, client funds are safe and still available. In such an unlikely event, a contracting entity will be appointed to take over INVEST IN SLOVAKIA's role and service all investments.

In principle, there is only one legal route in case of death = inheritance proceedings. If the client would like to give someone a power of attorney to dispose of the account during his/her lifetime - this is possible, a notarized power of attorney. 

According to §33b of the Civil Code, the power of attorney (authorized person, dispossessor) expires upon the death of the principal. If the principal dies, the attorney is still obliged to do everything that cannot be delayed so that the principal or his heirs do not suffer damage to their rights. On the death of the client, his property becomes subject to inheritance proceedings. Withdrawal and termination of the investment by the principal are not possible. A power of attorney cannot avoid succession proceedings, nor can the money be obtained earlier. Whoever acts after death under a power of attorney may be guilty of a criminal offense. 

What is the procedure in the event of a client's death?

1. O úmrtí by pozostalí klienta mali čo najskôr informovať Ci investment s.r.o., resp. nahlásiť v rámci dedičského konania príslušnému notárovi, že klient mal aj takýto majetok. 

2. The death certificate of the deceased must be attached to the notification to us. 

3. Ci investment s.r.o. zablokuje účet až do momentu vysporiadania dedičského konania. 

4. The heirs notify the notary to whom the succession proceedings will be assigned that the deceased had an investment with us. The notary, as the legally authorized person, will contact us and make all necessary arrangements for the pending succession proceedings. 

5. Ci investment s.r.o.  v rámci takéhoto dedičského konania poskytne notárovi všetku potrebnú súčinnosť, najmä mu potvrdí majetok zosnulého klienta, ktorý má ku dňu smrti v Ci investment s.r.o. a ktorý bude predmetom dedičského konania.
