Action checklist
Practical example
Imagine you are comparing two opportunities with similar projected returns. Use this lesson to compare the funding model, tenor, issuer track record, repayment source, documents and downside risks before choosing. A responsible decision is based on the full picture, not only the headline return.
Good sign
Clear use of funds, realistic milestones, consistent reporting and a return model that matches the business activity.
Warning sign
Vague numbers, missing documents, unrealistic growth claims or pressure to invest quickly without reviewing disclosures.
Investor action
Document your reason for investing, set your position size and track expected reporting dates after confirmation.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Choosing an opportunity only because the projected return is high.
- Ignoring tenor, liquidity needs and repayment assumptions.
- Investing too much in one issuer, sector or investment type.
- Skipping risk disclosures and issuer documents before payment.
