Risks & Protection
How Crowdpear assesses the risk when selecting projects for investment?
Each application and its documentation are evaluated based on internal and risk assessment schemes. Borrower’s reputation is not only assessed based on the real estate and other assets owned that would be used as collateral, but also by checking the creditworthiness, financial liabilities, various registries whether there are or have been any lawsuits/cases/financial crimes, etc. that may have an impact on the financial reliability of the borrower.
Based on the assessment algorithms, any of the following categories may be given to the project owner:
Class 1 (A) (Very good) – low credit risk
Class 2 (B) (Good) – medium credit risk
Class 3 (C) (Average) – higher credit risk
Class 4 (D) (Poor) – high credit risk
Class 5 (E) (Very poor) – credit risk too high
A risk level assigned is indicated in the project details and the project owner’s description.
Crowdpear has a right to decline a funding request if a project is considered too risky, compelling, or for any other reason, that may remain disclosed.

Can my investment become late?
Yes, if the borrower would delay the payments or would be unable to repay the loan on time.
Investors would be informed in case of a non-standard situation of borrowers delaying the payments or not being able to repay the loan on time. For every day of the delay, the initial interest + an additional 5% yearly interest would be applied for each investment, and the legal recovery process following the normative acts valid in the Republic of Lithuania would be initiated.

What happens if the borrower is not able to repay?
In case a borrower would not be able to repay the loan, and no solution would be found directly between the borrower and Crowdpear (for example, refinancing of the loan), the legal recovery process following the normative acts valid in the Republic of Lithuania would be initiated.
For every day of the delay, the initial interest + an additional 5% yearly interest would be applied for each investment.
