Business Term Financing
Term Financing are paid in monthly instalments, which are due on either the 1st or 15th of the month to allow for GIRO deductions from the SME's bank account. 

Term financing repayments are updated to your available account balance within 1 working day of the notes being repaid during the grace period of 7 days. 

The 7 days between the due date and actual repayment date into investors account balance is the grace period we offer to SMEs. This accommodates for bank transaction delays and offers a small buffer due to unforeseen circumstances on the SMEs end.  

The monthly amount is calculated by the formula:

[(principal invested + simple interest earned) / number of months in tenor] - 18% of interest component of instalment as service fees

Invoice Financing
Invoice Financing are repaid in bullet form (i.e. one-off full payment at the end of contract), which may be 30 days, 45 days, 60 days, 90 days, 120 days or 150 days after the funds have been disbursed. These repayments do not follow the 1st or 15th due dates that Term Financing instalments do. These are usually reflected in your available account balance the next business day from when we receive the SME's repayments. 

The repayment amount is calculated by the formula:

(principal invested + simple interest earned) - 18% of interest component as service fees

Property-backed Secured Notes

Property-Backed Secured Notes are typically repaid as such: the interest follows a monthly repayment schedule, while the principal is being repaid at the end of the note tenor, with the last monthly instalment of interest.

Similar to Term Financing, the monthly instalments are due on either the 1st or 15th of the month to allow for GIRO deductions from the SME's bank account.

Property-Backed Secured Note repayments are updated to your available account balance on either of these 2 dates in a month: the 8th of the month (or next business day if it falls on a weekend) for all notes due on 1st of the month, or the 23rd of the month (or next business day if it falls on a weekend) for all notes due on the 15th of the month. This follows the same grace period as Term Financing above. 

The monthly amount is calculated by the formula:

monthly instalment for all months before the last month: [(simple interest earned) / number of months in tenor] - 18% of interest component of instalment as service fees

last monthly instalment:
principal invested + [(simple interest earned) / number of months in tenor] - 18% of interest component of instalment as service fees
