Risk Warning

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 funding to these may involve higher risks. You are funding 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 or may not be able to sell your loan using the transfer facility if you wish to do so. As an investor, you should decide on your own risk parameters and diversify investments to limit risk.
