At SmartFunding, we employ both quantitative and qualitative analysis to assess the Borrower’s ability to fulfill debt obligations.
The scope of our credit assessment and due diligence typically include:
- Financial analysis on the Borrower’s financials, with an emphasis on the Borrower’s capability to generate cash flow and their existing debt obligations;
- Site visits for physical verification of the Borrower’s business;
- Interviewing the Borrower and its management to understand the purpose of borrowing and assessing the viability of their business plan;
- Conducting credit bureau checks on the Borrower and their shareholders/directors/guarantors to understand their credit history and repayment record, as well as whether there are any outstanding litigations; and
- KYC and AML checks on the Borrower and their shareholders/directors/guarantors.
Hi team,
I am currently considering investing with your platform and I had a question that I could not solve by reading the FAQs. How are the investments structured legally? Are they considered simple loans or debt securities? I am trying to ascertain whether the interests paid would be considered taxable or non-taxable under the current IRAS regulations.
Thanks in advance.
