- Advance rate: 70–85% with haircuts; dynamic based on historic recoveries.
- Collections: lockbox/controlled account; auto-reconcile to pool tape.
- Waterfall: fees → interest → principal → reserve top-up → residual.
Investor Funnel
- Origination: targeted outreach to private-credit funds, family offices, HNW.
- Qualification: investor type & jurisdiction tagging → KYC kick-off.
- Subscription: e-docs; fund via SEPA/SWIFT; allocation on receipt.
- Reporting: monthly pool tape, delinquencies, recoveries, cash-on-cash.
- Re-ups: auto-notify when new window opens; one-click re-allocation.
Key Risks & Mitigations
