Every project goes through full due diligence before it reaches your feed

We look at who owns the business, what its accounts actually show, which customers and suppliers it depends on, and how it generates the cash to repay. Then we value the security behind the loan. Only after that does a project get a grade - and the reasoning behind that grade is published with it.

  • Identified borrowers and owners
  • Registered collateral
  • Published risk grade and reasoning
  • FINMA-recognised SRO supervision (VQF)

Security

How your capital is protected

01
Collateral-backed
Every loan is secured against registered collateral — machinery, property or receivables — verified before it is ever listed.
02
Provision Fund
A pooled reserve, funded from platform fees, that can absorb late or missed interest payments - smoothing returns across the whole portfolio.
03
Segregated CHF accounts
Client money is held separately in Swiss accounts — never on our balance sheet, and never lent on.
04
Managed recovery
If a borrower defaults, we pursue collateral recovery on your behalf and report every step transparently.

§ FAQ · CrowdHive

FAQ

Questions, answered

Yes. CrowdHive is operated by BellaVista Invest One AG, a member of SRO VQF - a Self-Regulatory Organisation recognised by FINMA under Article 24 of the Swiss Anti-Money Laundering Act. SRO supervision covers anti-money-laundering compliance; we do not hold a banking licence.

Open projects currently range from roughly 10% to 17% net per annum, depending on grade and term. Interest is paid monthly. Returns are not guaranteed.

You can invest from €50 per project, with no platform fees. Most investors diversify across several projects to spread risk.

Every loan is backed by registered collateral. In the event of default we manage recovery against that collateral on investors' behalf and report transparently throughout.

Loans run to their agreed term - interest is paid monthly and principal is returned at maturity. Funds sitting in your account that are not committed to a loan can be withdrawn at any time.
