Lendahand has introduced a new product in 2017: Impact+ Investments. With this, it has become very easy and transparant for wealthy individuals, foundations and funds to invest online and create impact. Now, you can contribute directly to a better world and earn a fair return on your investment. You can choose between diverse, carefully selected local partners in emerging countries, who in their turn provide loans to entrepreneurs. Interest is on average 4% anually on a 24 months investment. Impact+ investments is especially suitable for investments starting at EUR 100,000
How it works
You can easily put together a spread portfolio: online, by telephone or personally. Lendahand will put the orders at the selected partners on your behalf. These partners will accept and the transaction can be completed. After every investment you will receive an overview with all details and a report each quarter. On your personal corner on the Lendahand website, you can find all information you need.

FounderA few years back I traveled through Nepal, India and Bangladesh. I witnessed first hand that entrepreneurship and jobs are the strongest weapons in fighting poverty. Many business owners, however, did not have access to affordable finance. Crowdfunding seemed like a good solution and that is why I founded Lendahand.
