What’s Covered?

Your investment is now risk-free, up to 500 euros. Should any business you’ve invested in from your first order be unable to repay you, we’ve got your back.

Here are two examples of how your investment is covered:

Example 1: Julia makes a first-time investment of EUR 1,000 in Project A. This means that Project A is guaranteed for EUR 500.

Scenario 1.1: Project A defaults after EUR 200 has been paid back (excluding interest). Julia gets EUR 300 back from the Guarantee Program.
Scenario 1.2: Project A defaults after EUR 500 has been paid back (excluding interest). Julia gets EUR 0 back from the Guarantee Program.

Example 2: Julia makes a first-time investment of EUR 1,000 in 2 projects, Project A and Project B. She invests EUR 600 in Project A and EUR 400 in Project B. This means that Project A is guaranteed for EUR 300 and project B for EUR 200.

Scenario 2.1: Project A defaults after EUR 100 has been paid back (excluding interest). Julia gets EUR 200 back from the Guarantee Program.
Scenario 2.2: Project A defaults after EUR 300 has been paid back (excluding interest). Julia gets EUR 0 back from the Guarantee Program.

This offer is only valid for first-time investors. The guarantee can be claimed after (1) Lendahand notifies the investor that the investment has been written off, OR (2) A payment is overdue by more than 365 days, and no subsequent payments have been received since that delay.
