Nusa Kapital Investors have a right to the returns or profits depending on the agreement within the contract. Payout occurs when the Issuer makes the relevant payment.
The general process is that Nusa Kapital Investors enter into a profit-sharing or revenue-sharing agreement with the Issuer of the project they choose to invest in. These sharing ratios are fixed, and the actual realised profits will thus depend on the sales and performance of the project the campaign is funding.
Nusa Kapital encourages the Investors to spread their investments into several campaigns concurrently. This will create a diversified portfolio with minimum risk and a healthy rate of return.
The attractive projected returns are based on conservative projections and are according to the returns as per presented for the respective campaigns hosted on Nusa Kapital.
The projected timeframes published have already factored in a buffer for delays but payouts may at times be delayed further due to business and external circumstances.
An Issuer is permitted to keep any amount which was raised through a hosting on a P2P platform provided that the Issuer must have at least raised 80 per cent of the target amount.
