What Investors Say About Beehive

Investing

How does Beehive work? +

Beehive is a peer to peer lending platform. Peer to peer (P2P) lending is a form of crowdfunding and refers to investors providing finance to businesses without the use of a conventional intermediary, such as a bank. Our online platform directly connects creditworthy businesses looking for funding with investors looking to support their growth.

Do you accept investors residing outside the UAE? +

Beehive welcomes all applications from most nationalities even if they are not UAE residents, however certain restrictions apply due to local regulations.

What fees do you charge? +

All fees for Term Finance requests are shown net of our fees and so the rate you see is the rate you will receive (excluding bad debts and defaults).  The only other fee we charge is 0.50% which is applied to any successful transfer facility transactions.

How is the monthly profit calculated? +

Accepted offers are repaid via equal monthly installments and each amount is paid directly into your Beehive account. The profit rate is fixed at the time you make your bid.

Who will run the investment strategy? +

Investors will run the strategy. Beehive does not provide guidance on which business to choose for investment.

How do I become a Professional Investor? +

To be reclassified as a Professional Investor, you must contact [email protected]. You will be invited to meet a Beehive Investment Executive to discuss your understanding of the risks associated with becoming a professional investor and to determine if you have the relevant financial or investment experience. You will also be required to provide proof that you have net assets in excess of $1m excluding your primary residence.

What is the minimum amount required to open an account on Beehive? And what is the minimum/maximum bid? +

You can join Beehive by setting up an account with as little as AED 5,000. The minimum bid on an individual business is AED100.

To comply with DFSA regulations, your maximum exposure to one business on Beehive (across multiple products and requests) as a Retail Investor is AED18,000. See “Are there limits over the amounts I can lend to any one business and the amount of new funds I can add in a 12-month period?” below for more details.
