SUMMARY OF THE FUNCTIONING OF THE "INVESTMENT SLOVAKIA" PLATFORM IN 2020

New The year 2021 is around the corner and so it is time to take stock. It is us a look back to 2020, where we will summarize what we have brought you, what we've been through and where we want to go. The article includes statistics, investment opportunities and project updates.

Investment Slovakia - crowdfunding platform in numbers

In October, we celebrated our 1st birthday as a newly launched platform that brings real estate investment opportunities to small investors. To date, we have registered in the INVESTORS CLUB 2 472 members. The positive thing is that we are still growing.

The platform offered members of the INVESTORS CLUB for 2020 four investment opportunitiesthat have undergone thorough due diligence and have found their supporters.

In total, the following were collected EUR 1 038 697.

As of 31 December, the platform has paid out revenues from four projects in the amount of EUR 60 767,45.

The start of the new year was challenging and we made some changes in the company, project managers were given an important task - to focus on profitable projects, which helped us to set a precise work plan and send to the trash a number of ineffective projects that had been on the table for a long time. Thus, we managed to "put the first project out there" only in March. Despite the beginning of the coronacrisis, we in the INVESTORS CLUB published the first project of the year and believed in its success.

JIŘÍHO WOLKER RESIDENCY - Poprad

Fundraising has been running since March 20. The intention of the developer CP MERCURIUS TRADE, s.r.o. was to buy and renovate an older family house in the wider centre of Poprad, subsequently to carry out the redevelopment and to start the construction of 11 separate residential units with 17x parking spaces.

Members of the INVESTORS CLUB had the opportunity to participate in this investment project with maximum an amount of EUR 300 000 and thus obtain a fair return of 14,07% p.a.

We are giving more and more assurances to developers that we can co-finance investment projects, even in the substandard times caused by the coronavirus. And once again, investors have shown why they are investors. It is the non-standard and unexpected market situations that give great opportunities to invest with interesting returns.

During the campaign we had to solve technical problems that delayed the end of the campaign and so the project ran for almost a whole month (usually a campaign runs for 21 days max). We reinforced the IT department to fix the problem as soon as possible and by staying up late every day they managed to do so.

From that point on, we focused on the new platform and started working on it intensively. We realised that if we wanted to do projects worth e.g. EUR 3 million a year, the system had to work without limitations and on a single unit.

But let's go to the statistics achieved by the 1st project of 2020 - Jiří Wolker Residence:

What are our plans and what can you look forward to?

As we mentioned above, since March this year our IT department has been working on the development of a new platform, which will change both the branding and the domain.

European Union: We do not hide the fact that we are preparing a portal and INVESTORS CLUB for all residents of the European Union. We would like to spread awareness about us, our projects and our brand. Anyone from abroad who wants to, can participate in investment opportunities from which the money collected will flow to the Slovak Republic.

️ Location: Our goal is to "spread out" across the country. This is not easy, as it takes several months to thoroughly prepare an investment project. But our ambition is to look from the west to the east of our country.

️ Developers: We fully understand that every single developer or major investor protects its know-how, practices and strategies on how it builds its investment projects. Therefore, we believe that by being more open with you - whether or not the projects are going as expected or going better than anticipated, the trust between both parties, investor vs. developer, will increase. In addition, we want to run some projects under the supervision of our parent company to give us more control over the projects and to provide you with the most accurate information possible.

Thank you all for your trust and investment in 2020. Thank you for your suggestions that make us think in the right direction. Thank you for supporting and contributing to our projects, each to the best of your ability.

We wish you every success, happiness, health and love in 2021.
