BOLDYIELD is a peer-to-business crowdfunding platform, which allows everyone (individuals and institutions) to invest in high-quality real estate and cash-flow projects that are secured by collateral.
Crowdfunding (CF) is the practice of raising funds for business development through the online platform from a large number of people. Crowdfunding becomes more and more popular for companies worldwide as a way of raising capital because it allows companies to reach funding easily and anyone to invest in selected businesses, industries, and regions.
If you are a company that requires funds for the development and are ready to secure the loan, submit your offer to the platform and we will evaluate it, assign an overall risk level, and put it on the platform if it meets the requirements and we consider your project as safe. If you are an investor, you sign-up, login, get verified, and invest. When the project is finished you receive back your principal plus interest earned.
Our focus is on real estate and cash-flow business financing. In future we plan to open the opportunity for the Investors to invest in the alternative investment funds and provide other type of projects.
The status "open" means that at this moment the project is in the process of funding and it is possible to invest in the particular project.
For Investors – the registration and use of our platform are free of charge. Our business model is based on providing intermediation services between Investors and Companies and all costs are imposed on Companies. More detailed fees can be viewed in our Pricing section.
No, the platform does not withhold any taxes on interest pay-outs to the investors. Please note that in most of the countries profits earned at Boldyield are subject to income tax. For more precise information we suggest you contact local tax advisors or revenue service.
Boldyield operations are regulated by general commercial legislation of the Republic of Estonia and the European Union (EU). Our operations will also be guided by the Regulation on European Crowdfunding Service Providers (ECSP), which entered into force in November 2021, but had 1 year transitional period which is now extended until 10 November 2023.
Regulation on European Crowdfunding Service Providers for Businesses (ECSP Regulation) was implemented to protect investors and to harmonise European Crowdfunding market. It came into force on 10 November 2021, however, it had a 1 year transitional period which is now extended until 10 November 2023. The main reason for transitional period extension was that local Financial market supervisors could not issue a licence for all market participants due to a delay of EC and ESMA to provide a guidance (technical standards) on ECSP Regulation, which could result in disruptions in the crowdfunding industry. I.e., the crowdfunding platforms should stop operations if the licence is not obtained until 10 November 2022.
BOLDYIELD from the start have been transparent and working on investor protection. We have been following ECSP Regulation implementation and most of the requirements we have already in place. Currently we have applied for the licence and are working together with FCMC (Financial market supervisor in Latvia) to meet all of the requirements of the ECSP Regulation and to obtain a licence. Based on the current progress we should obtain the licence until the end of 2022.

Our professional team evaluates the project and its applicant, according to the risk level the points are assigned to several indicators in three categories: financial health, creditworthiness and company's record. According to the number of points obtained, the project is given an Overall risk rating from A-D, where A is the group of projects with the lowest risk. Projects with a risk rating D are not published on the platform. More information on risk scoring is available in the project description pages.
The minimum investment amount in BOLDYIELD projects is EUR 100. However, it can vary from project to project. Information in more detail is available in the description of each project.
With the calculator it is possible to determine the provisional return. The calculation is based on your preferred investment term, amount (EUR) and BOLDYIELD historical weighted average interest rate that includes all historical projects.
The weighted average interest rate is calculated based on the interest rate of each historical BOLDYIELD project that has been funded and the money borrowed (project weight). By giving weight (the importance) for each project’s interest rate, the total weighted average interest rate is calculated.
The return is a risk-adjusted interest of the invested capital. It is determined by our risk assessment that consists of three pillars – Company’s financial health, creditworthiness and history. The evaluation takes into account the project, market situation, the borrower, experience of the management of the borrower and other criteria.
The interest is calculated from the outstanding balance of the Loan Amount principal for each day from the disbursement date of the Loan Amount (included) up until the last day of the Loan Period (excluded). Interest calculation is based on the presumption of 365-days a year and the actual number of days a month.
You will receive return according to project details – interest is usually paid on a monthly or quarterly basis or at the end of the term. You will receive the principal at the end of the term, thus granting higher interest income.
