To take less risk, it is better to choose projects with score a. for return more attractive but also a little more risky, but choose projects rated B. And finally for lenders wishing to potentially face a higher defect rate, he must choose C rated projects. These three notes (A, B and C) allow for an appreciation of the level of risk of a project.

These marks are awarded through the eligibility criteria that are rated according to three criteria: financial performance of the company, its history and that of its leaders and its sector of activity. For lenders, it is better to diversify lending because better pay 20 euros to 100 companies that 1000 euros to 2 companies. Indeed, lenders can invest between 20 and 1,000 euros.

However, the Lendix platform comes with established companies, who realize a minimum turnover of 400,000 euros and are profitable, with sufficient repayment capacity. To borrow on this platform, it is not required to open an account, simply to test eligibility. The analysis of your application for funding is done in two parts. The first, an eligibility test that allows to have an immediate response. To do this, simply the SIREN number, amount, and time desired. Then a personalities of records is conducted by a credit analyst. A telephone exchange will take place, with the basis of the information provided. The response and the firm offer is available within 48 hours. A company can borrow party of 30 000 euros, within the limits of its ability to refund and up to 1 500 000 euros. Finally, the interest rate is the price of risk. So, it takes into account the term of the loan and the degree of risk posed by the project.

The loan offer

When a company has received an offer of loan Lendix, different steps and important elements are taken into account in the implementation of the credit. First of all, Lendix loan offer is firm, that is, the platform agrees on the amount, rate and duration. A guarantee of success of the operation is present for borrowers, so once the offer accepted loan, they are certain to borrow the world indicated with the defined conditions so the rate and term. So the loan offer is irrevocable once signed, because the acceptance of the offer of the loan Lendix requires only a signature. The company is so committed to borrow the amount specified and Lendix is committed to maintaining the condition proposed. Once the contract is signed, the project is presented on the platform for about three days. But this duration is decided with the borrower. Then five days after the end of this period, the borrower receives the diminished amount borrowed from the file origination fees, to his bank account current.

When the loan offer is received, the schedule in the appendix is based on a provisional date of provision funds. Maos this date may change depending on the time taken to sign the contract, the duration of the launch of the project, time to lenders to join the latter. The company then receives a final version when funds are paid and which takes into account the date payments.

The presentation of the project

A business project is funded by lenders, not Lendix, so it must be presented all the information possible so that potential lenders can discover the activities of the company. In addition, all the information provided on the Lendix platform, constitute an appendix to the loan agreement. In addition, the duration of participation in a project varies according to the wishes of the borrower. The average duration is two days but the borrower can address this issue with caller Lendix during a telephone exchange for the implementation of the funding. Finally, from the outset, the company Lendix guarantees the success of financing for borrowers because it has to a wide community of lenders. Thus, when a loan offer is published, the amount granted will be reached.

A loan refunds

When a loan is set up, Lendix is responsible for all the samples, each month, since the borrower's bank account. Deadlines are indicated in the schedule. But the borrower has no transfer or check to perform. Of course, it is possible to repay a loan in advance, once the term of the loan is halfway through, with compensation for early repayment of 4% of the principal outstanding. So for example, for a loan of EUR 100 000 over 48 months at 5% a prepayment of can be done only after 24 months. Principal outstanding is 52 493 euros and the IRA (compensation for early repayment) 2,100 euros. The latter is of course distributed similarly between the lenders and Lendix. Finally, each month, the monthly change because it include management fees of flows that they depend on the principal outstanding. Thus, the latter every month so flow management fees also decreases. The monthly decreases then monthly also.

The difficulties of payment.

When repayments on a loan, a borrower may have difficulties of payment deadlines. First, it may be late, the Lendix company takes directly contact him in order to understand the reason and assist in the resolution of this incident to help find a solution. Most of the time, it's just a technical problem, the refund is made within two days after the telephone contact or email. If there is no place of reimbursement, Lendix sends a letter of recovery accompanied by interest on late payments. If this isn't always the case at the end of 8 working days, a demand letter is sent and the Lendix experts can help you on a daily basis to cover the funds and change the loan if necessary. Finally, after 20 days, Lendix notifies you the forfeiture of the term by a registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt. The borrower must make a prepayment of the amount remaining due, with interest, the interests of delay and cost recovery fees. If the borrower can't repay, Lendix may institute proceedings for judicial recovery, always on behalf of lenders.

How much does it cost?

The funding request is free, with the analysis by the credit Lendix team phase. However the implementation of the loan costs including 3% for the Assembly of the file and 1 / 12% for the management of flows, which are detailed in the offer of a loan but in a transparent manner. These fees are financial charges accounted for in the income statement of the borrowing company to reduce the taxable income. So the editing of records commission is equal to 3% of the amount borrowed. Indeed, this fee is deducted directly from the amount paid to your bank account. For example, if the loan is 100,000 euros, the editing of draft commission is 3% or 3 thousand euros on the EUR 100 000. So the borrower is credited with 97 000 euros. In addition, the flow management commission is equal to 1 / 12% of the amount remaining due. Here, the commission is charged on a monthly basis and covers expenses related to the treatment of many financial flows such as the sampling of a deadline on the account of a borrower and the allocation of the amount between all lenders. For example, on a loan of 100,000 euros to 5% for 48 months, costs are 83 euros the first month and 44 euros the 24th month. The borrower can find the details in the schedule that is passed with the supply of credit.

Charges related to exceptional events may occur. For example, when a refund anticipated loan or late payments will result in additional fees. In the case of early repayment, the fee of 4% of the principal outstanding. For late payments, the payment of interest on arrears is calculated monthly and amounting to 1.5% of each unpaid monthly due.
