In comparison to long-term investments, short-term investments provide little or no interest aging. However, our returns are higher than Traditional Financial Service products with similar tenures. Our rates average 7% per annum.

This feature gives you accessibility to your account statistics.
- Available Funds - the investor's balance available for investment/pledge.
- On Hold Funds - are proceeds from loan application on hold for admin approval and funds that will be requested for withdrawal.
- Invested Funds - funds that are invested through the SeedIn Platform (amount of total invested funds since you joined SeedIn).
- Total Net Payout - the receivable balance of ongoing investments (principal plus interest)
The minimum investment amount will differ depending on the size of the project. You can invest as low as Php 1,000.00 for every project.
The amount you've credited will be placed on hold until the subscription period for the project you've invested in has ended. It cannot be used to invest in another project unless it is transferred back to your available funds.
Your funds will be invested for the term of your specific funding. The business funding terms usually range from one to twelve months. Seedin's average funding term is between three to six months.
Each of Seedin's Participation Contract states clearly that monthly interest distributions occur on a fixed day of each month. This fixed day is based on the date of maturity of the Participation Contract. If the investor subscribes to a product offering after the start of the funding date, the first month's interest distribution will be pro-rated.
For example, Seedin places a product offering online whereby the subscription period is for a maximum of 30 days from June 1 to 30. If your funds are cleared into our accounts and you invest in the product offering anytime between the subscription period, you will receive the interest distributions made on the succeeding months of each month until maturity.
Yes, you can participate in more than one project as long as you have sufficient credits in your SeedIn account.
No, when a project is fully subscribed, it will no longer be available for subscriptions.
If the project is still in the “midst of crowdfunding” you can email us at
info@seedinph.tech and provide the project investment ID number for the Admin team’s verification to cancel your investment.
SeedIn is committed to building wealth through passive income investing and providing better access to investment opportunity. Currently, we are only accepting accredited, institutional investors and private investors with relevant investment experience.
When you invest in a SeedIn product offering, you are investing through our Participation Contract. The contract states that the investor will receive a declared interest rate for a declared term that is reliant on the underlying funding between SeedIn and the SME issuer. Therefore, the Participation Contract is a contract between the investor and SeedIn.
While the investor does not have any ownership on the said funding or its security, the Participation Contract gives the investor an interest, shared with other investors who have funded the offering. Therefore, the investor obtains a right to receive monthly interest disbursements as well as the return of the principal sum when the SME issuer makes full payment on the funding.
Interest rates will differ from offering to offering but generally range from 7% to 10% per annum. As each funding is different, the interest rate is determined by a multitude of factors, inclusive of risk. SeedIn focuses mainly on funding for short-term working capital; therefore they are able to carry higher interest rates compared to other financing options.
An online contract will be generated and emailed to your registered email immediately upon subscription. Alternatively, you may log in to your user dashboard to view and download your contract.
The contract shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of Republic of the Philippines and the parties to the contract shall submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Courts of the Philippines.
The contract will be reassigned to SeedIn in the Event of Default, i.e. when the repayments have not been fulfilled or made in full by the sellers, and SeedIn, with the Power of Attorney to act on behalf of both principal parties, will take over as the legal principal of the assigned invoices.
The contract agreement is non-transferrable and is strictly between you and the issuer.
All members' monies are held in a segregated account with our Partner Bank(s) Trust Group. Other than the minimum balance funded by SeedIn to avoid unnecessary bank charges, at no time will the funds of SeedIn co-mingle with members' monies.
We do not use members' monies for any daily operations.
Audits will be performed by appointed 3rd party auditors at the end of each calendar year.
You can log on to your registered account to view your statement of account under your “Transaction History” tab.
No. As we are not a deposit-taking institution, the funds are held in a non-interest bearing bank account.
Yes, you may request to cancel your investment as long as the project is still in the “midst of crowdfunding”. You may email us at
info@seedinph.tech and provide the investment id # of the project for processing.
Types of Repayment
This type of repayment will put your principal funds on hold for the duration of the loan. For example: You have invested in a 5 months project, only the interest earned will be paid out on the 1st to 4th month and the principal will be released on the last month of the project.
A monthly repayment loan is one in which both principal and interest are spread over the term of the loan and paid on a monthly basis.

Other
A rise in interest rates will have a negative effect on the business market, as it will make funding more expensive for SME issuers. We are not able to predict or confirm if or when main interest rates will rise and how it might affect the sentiment for business expansion and working capital.
SeedIn is of the opinion that businesses must continue to thrive in both good and bad times. Funding is necessary for both business expansion and cash flow conservation; opportunities for business funding will therefore still be available. Nevertheless, SeedIn will constantly monitor the economy and interest rate movement as necessary to provide synergy between investors and issuers.
SeedIn is not able to predict trends in the economic cycle but opportunity exists in every business industry in different points of the economic cycle. During a market downturn, particular industries will continue to thrive and provide a suitable return in return for your investment.
It is our intention to ensure that funding opportunities that are well suited in particular points of the economic cycle is made accessible to our investors.
Yes, business funding investments are similar to investing in stock markets. It is difficult to know how and when the market conditions will change and affect the underlying funding in the product offering.
Retail/Qualified Investors are reminded to review the due diligence of each product offering, terms of use and Participation Contract to gain a full understanding of the product characteristics.
No. However, SeedIn has a set of legal mechanisms and contingency plans in place to mitigate such risks. In a worst case scenario, we are able to liquidate the asset and have reasonable expectation of being able to return most or our investors' entire principal.
SeedIn is one of the first debt crowd funding platforms in Asia to pioneer the use of "pre-funding" by investing its own money into the business financing. Every project we pre-fund proves our confidence in the business funding request, our risk assessment methods and due diligence methodology.
By way of pre-funding, we are able to secure higher interest rates and still retain issuers because of the speed and efficiency we provide in each offering we fund. Pre-funding also allows us to accelerate deal closing so that investors are able to earn their interest more quickly.
Traditional crowd funding requires all investors to wait until full funding is committed before a funding can be syndicated. Often, the time taken for full funding could be up to a month or even not occur at all.
Currently, SeedIn does not maintain a consistent position across each of its funding. We allow our investors to fill up 100% of the financing we pre-fund. However, we reserve the right to retain a position for each funding and may do so in the future. If an offering is not fully funded by investors, we will retain a position in the offering because we have already pre-funded it.
Although SeedIn makes a significant effort in keeping the risk of funding default to a minimum, all funding have an inherent amount of risk; investors may lose their entire investment.
SeedIn has a issuer default process in place to manage the situation as soon as possible by working with the SME issuer to understand the reason behind the default. Primarily, we would like to reach to an amicable solution with the issuer to protect the interests of the investors.
That withstanding, SeedIn has a set of legal mechanisms and contingency plans in place to mitigate such risks. We highly encourage our investors to understand each product offering clearly to understand the investment better.
During the course of our due diligence, apart from reviewing the SME ability to repay the funding, we also look into the capacity for the business to take on extra debt. This is necessary in the event of a possible default.
Generally, SeedIn would review the SME funding request and fund only as much as necessary for its working capital needs. Thus investors might see a funding request being separated into tranches to ensure the SME has the capability to repay.
Yes. Investments beyond traditional stocks, bonds, and cash are known as alternative asset classes. Alternative asset classes can include anything from commercial real estate and private equity to luxury watches and antiques.
Be advised that alternative asset classes are not appropriate for everyone. SeedIn investors must verify their investor status. SeedIn is not a registered financial advisor and does not make any financial recommendations. You should always consult a qualified financial or investment professional knowledgeable about your risk tolerance and objectives before investing in new opportunities.
Risk assessment is one of our highest priorities. High quality SMEs and good business operators are fundamental to the success of our platform. We employ a rigorous traditional underwriting process to craft detailed due diligence on prospective SME issuers.
The conditions of the local market, performance of the particular industry and risk profile of the SME issuer are reviewed so that we only curate professional and/or experienced businesses onto our platform for investor review.
We have an independent panel of experienced business professionals and investors on our Credit Risk Committee to advise on the risks involved across industries to give a better assessment of the funding.
Generally, we arrange secured lending and third party guarantee so that in a worst case scenario, we are able to liquidate the asset and have reasonable expectation of being able to recover most of our exposure.
