Beehive is the UAE’s first online marketplace for peer to peer lending

Beehive is an online peer to peer lending platform that directly connects businesses looking for finance with investors that can invest and support their growth.

We apply the innovative technology of crowdfunding, connecting a business with a crowd of investors, to eliminate the cost and complexity of conventional finance.

The result is a more efficient, streamlined process that gives UAE businesses faster access to lower cost loans and investors better returns on their money.

Beehive in the media

Peer to peer finance has been around for roughly a decade, but it hadn’t existed in the Middle East until the launch of Beehive, a new business that aims at securing financing for small businesses in the UAE.

Across the world, fintech has attracted large amounts of investment and even more attention. Craig Moore started his P2P lender in Dubai in 2014. Beehive lends to small businesses and has lent $13m to-date.

Beehive has quickly become the UAE’s leading online marketplace for P2P finance. Platforms such as Beehive have an important role to play in shaping the future.

Peer to Peer lending platforms (like Beehive) have emerged as a potential “game-changer” for regional SMEs

Enerwhere raised AED 1 million on Beehive in just 5 days!

“Beehive do all the things that you would expect the bank to do, the big difference is speed. We had the money in the bank 2 days after the auction closed. We did one of the largest transactions on the platform, it was successful, and we believe we can raise more this way.”

The experienced credit team at Beehive rigorously assesses every application and only lists creditworthy, established businesses on the platform. Whilst we typically list established businesses, we may also list some early-stage businesses and lending to these may involve higher risks. You are lending to SMEs and need to be aware of the risk of default which could result in the loss of all or part of your investment. You may also experience delays in being repaid. As a lender, you should decide on your own risk parameters and diversify investments to limit risk. Find out more about our risk assessment here.

The risk band classification we provide on a business finance request is only a guideline and you will need to evaluate the creditworthiness of a Business. Read more here. The financing contract will be directly between you and the Business. Beehive is not party to the contract and you make bids and financing on Beehive entirely at your own risk. Any bid you place will be final and binding unless certain conditions are met as set out in paragraph 6.3.6 in the Terms and Conditions for Investors. If in doubt, you should seek independent financial advice before placing any bid. In the unlikely event that Beehive ceases to exist, lenders may lose part or all of their money, incur costs or experience delays in being repaid.
