Envestio informed today that a new investment opportunity is available at the portal to all registered participants.

The project is presented by the Investment Project Owner that is already familiar to Envestio participants – Latvian company NDINAMIKA SIA. By investing in the project “Production of Sawn Timber – part 2” it is possible to participate in the financing round for the production cycle of sawn timber products by a representative of European woodworking industry.

If you invest for the first time at Envestio don’t forget that you can get € 5 and a 0.5% cashback bonus for the investments made in the first nine months (270 days), more details HERE.

Investment opportunity

  • High-yielding investment in woodworking sector, factoring-type financing for a sawn timber production/wood pellets trading company.
  • Secured debt, 20,5% planned annual return.
  • Investment principal buyback is available at 5% penalty rate.

Project description

The company NDINAMIKA SIA is a Latvian company that is successfully acting on the market of production and sale of sawn timber to local and international customers. Established in the year 2013, NDINAMIKA SIA is a well-known and experienced player on the Latvian woodworking market. Besides production of sawn timber, the company is also engaged into sale and delivery of wood pellets/biomass fuel to Latvian households, small agricultural complexes, and other consumers.

Sawn timber is being produced from the raw round timber, purchased directly from the owner of the forest sites. NDINAMIKA SIA has concluded long-term agreements with a number of companies and private individuals that ensures operational flexibility.

A standard production cycle includes:

  • Inspection of the site, marking the trees
  • Cutting down the trees in agreed volume using company’s equipment and vehicles
  • Transportation of the raw round wood to the company’s warehouse, preparation for further processing
  • Production of sawn wood using specialized tools and equipment
  • Post-production treatment, packing, sale

The funds, attracted with the help of Envestio will be used for the purchase of raw round timber, financing the production process, and covering the time gap before the final payment is received from the customers.

Market

In the first half of 2018 the overall situation in the sphere of supply of round timber has continued to improve. At the same time, assortment prices remain high, thus indicating insufficient supply of wood for further processing. As the “Forest and Wood Products Research and Development Institute” notes, the rapid increase in the prices of round wood in ports has reduced the availability of technological wood in the regions of Latvia.

Roundwood prices have risen noticeably not only in Latvia, but also in the Baltic neighbour states and Sweden. It should be noted that the increase in prices for pulpwood and saw logs in Sweden has not been as rapid as, for example, in Latvia.

The limiting supply of round timber and the high demand for wood due to climatic conditions, as a result of the increase in the prices of round timber, has affected the export performance of the industry.

In the 5 months of 2018 the amount of wood products exported from Latvia exceeded the indicator of the previous year by 21%. The value of exports of slab and plywood exceeded last year volumes by 4%, the export sales of sawn timber products remained at the same level, the volume of exported granules decreased by 14%. The export value of round timber climbed by 90%, firewood and chips – increased by 12%.

The loan is fully secured by mixed commercial pledge and personal guarantee of the main beneficiaries of “SRR” JSC.

Investment opportunity

  • High-yielding investment in logistics industry, financing of technical inspection and repair/renewal works for freight containers.
  • Secured debt, 21% planned annual return.
  • Investment principal buyback is available at 5% penalty rate.

Project description

The JSC SRR was established in Riga, Latvia in the year 2007. JSC SRR is a member of FIATA, LAFF, LTBA, CCTP, holds ISO 9001:2008 certificate, and employs 64 people.

Company’s key assets include 950 x 20’ and 450 х 40’ containers as well as 825 railroad platforms.

The main fields of company’s activity are:

  • Multimodal transportation and integrated railway solutions for metallurgical companies and industrial manufacturers
  • Handling of container trains
  • Optimizing use of rolling stock and providing own containers
  • Warehousing of various types of cargo
  • Regular feeder container line Rotterdam-Riga-Ust-Luga-St. Petersburg-Rotterdam

The company is looking to conduct a round of technical inspection and repair/renewal works for all its containers, used for freight operations. The total cost of the project is estimated to be EUR 650,000. Envestio participants will have a chance to finance this project in several tranches of moderate size, according to the number of containers submitted for inspection and further proceedings in a single batch.

Market

Consolidated figures show that during the year 2017 the global market for transportation of goods using freight containers increased by more than 6% in relation to 2016. Last time so high market growth rates were observed more than 6 years ago – in the year 2011. Overall demand for China-Europe-America freight routes in 2017 increased rapidly due to China’s GDP 6,9% growth that was almost 0,5% higher than anticipated growth of 6,5%. At the same time, also the freight rates in 2017 swiftly recovered from downfall, experienced in 2016.

Further development of the global market is largely dependent on the extent at which current expansion plans of the biggest container lines are realized as well as on the development dynamics of the international trade. Bearing in mind increasing ambiguity on the global markets, caused by geopolitical shifts combined with high growth rates the key factor for success is the ability to manage both own and freighted assets in the most efficient and flexible way.

From the regional perspective the biggest increase in volumes was achieved in the North America (+12,6%), followed by Latin America (+11,1%), China (+10,3%), and Europe (+4,4%).

PALLET TIMBER COMPANY SIA uses trademark “Made in Latvia” as an additional competitive advantage for its produce.

Flexibility is another key asset of PALLET TIMBER COMPANY SIA. Dimensional timber it produces has vast amount of different sizes, making it suitable for a wide variety of purposes of use in different markets with diverse standards.

The same refers to the wooden pallets, produced by PALLET TIMBER COMPANY SIA. Depending on specification of cargos and type of transportation and storage, the company offers pallets of different construction, durability, and area.

Market

Wood is the most preferred material for pallets across the globe, as it offers huge advantages in terms of response time and low startup cost for customized designs. Wooden pallets sometimes end up with sharp splinters causing injuries or protruding nails that damage food packaging. But due to the low costs, wood pallets will continue to dominate product sales in most areas across the globe. However, wood pallets these days are largely being replaced with plastic pallets. As food safety compliance and reusability is a growing attraction among manufacturers, they are looking for sustainable material handling options and thus, plastic pallets will continue to gain acceptance in a range of industries including foods & beverage, pharmaceuticals, groceries and automotive.

With a huge incremental opportunity, the global pallets market is projected to grow at more than 5% CAGR during the period of assessment.

During the period 2012 – 2016, the global pallets market expanded at a CAGR of 4.7%. However, during the forecast period – that is between 2017 and 2025 – the market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 5.4% owing to increasing demand for better and safe transportation coupled with the rise in demand for pallets from various industries like food, agriculture, chemicals etc. The global pallets market is projected to represent incremental opportunity of more than US$ 25 Bn between 2017 and 2025.

Project description

Latvian company SIA MERKURS-RIGANTE has been working in the sphere of warehouse services and logistics since 1994. Recently the company launched a new business direction – delivery and wholesale of fresh fruits produced in Spain, Greece, Bulgaria, and Serbia on the market of Baltic states, Russia, Belarus, Kazakstan and other CIS countries. The assortment includes different kinds of stone fruits, strawberries, blueberry, citruses, apples, etc.

The business network is already active since June 2018. Having a number of contracted European suppliers, long-term experience in transportation and warehousing, possibility to use own infrastructure for the trade operations, necessary expertise in importation procedures, and high demand for high-quality product makes this business direction exceptionally promising and high-profitable.

SIA MERKURS-RIGANTE is looking to attract a factoring-type secured funding for the period of 6 months in order to finance additional deliveries of shipments of fruits to its partners within already established trade network.

Market

The market for imported fruits and berries in the Eastern Europe and CIS is still considered fairly underdeveloped and full of opportunities in comparison to Western Europe and US. A lot of people there still do not consider fresh fruits and berries to be an essential part of their food basket as consumption of these products currently is approximately 3,5 times lower than in the West. At the same time, as a result of the latest healthy lifestyle trends, growing personal income, and a number of other factors the demand for qualitative fruits and berries is increasing at a constant rate.

Increasing demand cannot be met with local supply, mainly due to the climate conditions, which are not favourable for growing good-quality fruits and berries as well as weaker and low-automated local farming sector. It provides a lot of opportunities for the companies that are able to import products of a necessary quality from other economic regions.

  • Project launch: 24.10.2018
  • Loan: EUR 100 000;
  • Term: 15-18 months;
  • Fixed interest rate: 17% per year;

Example, if turnover in 2019 is 7 million EUR investors receive 17% base interest rate + 2% bonus interest rate, if turnover in 2019 is 9 million EUR  investors receive 17% base interest rate + 4% bonus interest rate. Success interest is paid in the end of loan term together with principal payment. 

The company was founded by Olga and Edward Peterson. Olga as promising young architect and Edward with an expertise in online marketing started the brand in 2015.

Since day one INCH2 recognized the possibilities of e-commerce and started to look for ways to gather global audience using the latest online marketing technology and combining that with beautifully handcrafted shoe designs. INCH2 digital marketing campaigns reach around 20’000’000 people monthly and since foundation the company has sold more than 22’000 pairs of shoes generating 183’968 EUR in 2016, 1’651’505 EUR in 2017,  2’834’892 EUR by end of September 2018,  and expecting to reach around 5 million in sales by end of 2018  with top markets in the USA, Russia, Germany, UK and France.

These eye-catching, refined designs of INCH2 have propelled the brand to be recognized all around the globe and has achieved support of 700’000+ committed followers on Facebook and Instagram. This analysis-based online exposure combined with unique designs has no limits as to how far the brand can go.

Now INCH2 manufacturing is extended to Europe’s best shoemakers. The brand’s footwear is being produced in Portugal at the same facility as such well-known brands as KENZO, LANVIN, MAISON MARTIN MARGIELA, GIVENCHY and others.

As a rapidly growing start up business INCH2 faced a situation where demand for the shoes out-weighted previous production capacity as a result delivery time is around 2 months.
INCH2 is looking for an investment that would give the brand a possibility to expand their sales offline through the most desired prime shopping venues and to enlarge stock for the existing women’s collection as well as just launched men’s collection and bags. After entering retail channels and reducing delivery time for online orders by having a valid stock, it is predicted to have a huge increase of INCH2 loyal customer orders around the globe.

Grupeer will launch a new type of loan – amortizing loans

Grupeer logo

Grupeer announced that today they will launch a new type of loan for investment! They will introduce amortizing loans by their trusted loan originator SIA Monify. One of Grupeer’s core competencies is diversification tools: geographical, loan type (real estate or business loans), and now loan repayment schedule.

How does it work?

Currently, the principal is returned back to the investor when the maturity date comes, and interest is calculated based on the total loan amount. The key difference of new amortizing loans is that principal repayment will take place over the loan period and interest is calculated from residual loan amount (total loan amount less principal repayments according to schedule).

Why is it good for investors?

Grupeer’s investors will be able to diversify held investment portfolio and considerably reduce credit risk. Credit risk is associated with the failure to return the principal at maturity. All Grupeer loans are protected by BuyBack guarantee- when loan originator is obliged to pay the principal and interest rate in case borrower defaults. However, there is still unlikely scenario that loan originator fails. In that case, Grupeer will facilitate the investment return by hiring a lawyer, who will represent the interest of all investors. However, this will take time and will cause inconvenience. So, with amortization loans, this risk is reduced.

The second benefit is a sooner availability of investment principal, which can be used for reinvestment. Setting up Auto-Invest function will automatically invest all money monthly received and will even further increase the return, as your money (which were sitting in the body of the loan) will be earning in the new project.

Please note, that because amortizing loans are a new product on the platform, auto-invest strategy can’t filter yet the amortizing loans vs. non-amortizing. So, if you do not wish your funds to be invested in the new type of loan, please disable the auto-invest temporarily.
