Life has patterns and it’s enormously important to find yours. Everything will fall into place once you do. My mission in life over the last six years has been to help entrepreneurs who own small and medium-sized companies to realize their plans and allow people to gain financial freedom by investing in property-backed loans.

There’s no doubt that life on the planet will change and we will do our best to ensure that it changes for the better.

Unfortunately, due to tensions in international trade and structural changes in the economy, the growth pace of the economy is below 1% and this is not expected to change in the coming years. Unemployment has remained at low levels throughout the last years (3,4% in 2019). In light of the shortage of skills in the labour force and programmes to support flexible working hours, worsening conditions in the labour market are not expected.
Even though weak world trade growth has contributed to further reduction of industrial production and a slowdown in the German economy, the expansionary monetary and fiscal policy will continue to support the growth. At the same time, the weaker external demands are supported by domestic forces. Private consumption is supported by the growth of household disposable income due to fiscal policy measures and growth in wages. Therefore, despite the slowdown in the economy, German Consumer confidence remained high throughout 2019. The construction sector has remained robust and business confidence in the sector is strong.

Our investors come from many countries that have very different regulations for protecting private investors and requirements for payment service providers. Although crowdfunding does not yet have pan-European regulation in place, we have a fairly good idea of what constitutes best practise and what requirements will emerge:
