Heavyfinance Risk Management

All operations in HeavyFinance are covered by heavy machinery,which means in case there are problems in the repayment of a specific loan, HeavyFinance will proceed to the sale of the mortgaged assets to ensure the collection thereof.

Comparing HeavyFinance with other secured lending companies such as Estateguru, it must be taken into account that agricultural machinery is more liquid and can better preserve its value in times of crisis than real estate.

 Heavy Finance has the authorization and direct supervision of the Central Bank of Lithuania, and is subject to strict regulations that include, for example, the segregation of funds from its investor users. In this sense – like the rest of the Lithuanian platforms – it has a robust regulatory framework unlike most Latvian and Estonian platforms.

It has personalities with a long history and reputation. Its CEO and founder, Laimonas Noreika has previously been the CEO of a veteran in the sector like Finbee for 4 years.

It has minimum investment requirement of 100 Euro which is good enough for maximum diversification.
