What is crowdlending?
Crowdlending is a regulated financial product and a subtype of crowdfunding that facilitates loans through digital platforms like Goparity.
For investors, it’s a way to directly finance projects they believe in while earning returns that are often more attractive than other financial products. However, crowdlending involves risks, including the potential loss of the invested capital.
For project promoters, it offers an alternative to bank loans or other forms of capitalization.
Goparity operates on a peer-to-business lending model, facilitating loan agreements between:
- Investors – who lend money to fund projects.
- Project promoters – who borrow funds for sustainable initiatives

When a project promoter raises funds via Goparity, they enter into a loan agreement with all investors, committing to repay the loan with interest as outlined in the agreement. Investors must accept the contract before investing.
At Goparity, every campaign undergoes a thorough risk assessment, includes a loan agreement and a Key Investment Information Sheet (KIIS), and is supported by a debt recovery protocol in case of promoter default.
