Crowdlending Real Estate Luxembourg
What is crowdlending?
Crowdlending is one form of participatory financing (also known as crowdfunding). Crowdlending consists of collecting "interest-bearing loans for businesses, to finance their development or carry out specific operations".
Like crowdfunding, crowdlending is a business financing mechanism that allows citizen savings to be mobilised.
In practice, crowdlending enables investors to make a financial investment in the form of a loan to a company.
In the real estate sector, crowdlending makes it possible to finance real estate promotion activities or the development of real estate projects by making a public appeal to savings via a crowdlending platform, and not just to banks.

Who is property crowdlending for?
All players in the real estate sector can use real estate crowdlending. The size, financing structure and risks of the project are important criteria. In general, it will be easier to finance a project via a crowdfunding platform if it is combined with a bank loan (or a firm commitment from the bank).
As far as investors are concerned, property crowdlending is a form of investment open to the widest possible range of people. Depending on the type of project and the platform you choose, you can invest in property via a crowdfunding campaign from as little as a few hundred euros.
The advantage is that individuals do not need to be investment professionals to invest and benefit from a good return.
