better­vest is a German crowd­fun­ding debt plat­form for sustainable projects. From as little as € 50 onwards, ordi­nary citi­zens can jointly invest in future-orien­ted projects across the globe. As such, better­vest opens up the market for ecolo­gi­cally and econo­mic­ally impactful invest­ments to retail inves­tors while giving them the oppor­tu­nity to shape the energy tran­si­tion and combat climate change.
Each project under­goes a project selec­tion process in which, depen­ding on the project, an exter­nal energy consul­tant asses­ses the energy measure. Throug­hout the fixed loan period, borro­wers are contrac­tually obli­ga­ted to devote the majo­rity of the resul­ting reve­nue or the annual cost savings to the repay­ment of the loan until the prin­ci­pal invest­ments, as well as annual returns, have been paid out.
