Debt-Based Crowdfunding

Debt-Based Crowdfunding
Lend with Purpose. Earn with Impact.

Debt-based crowdfunding allows individuals to lend money to businesses or projects in exchange for agreed returns over time. At Initiate PH, we make this process transparent, structured, and accessible—so your capital works while helping Filipino entrepreneurs grow.

What Is Debt-Based Crowdfunding?

Debt-based crowdfunding, also known as crowdlending, is a funding model where backers act as lenders rather than donors or investors. Businesses receive the capital they need, and lenders are repaid based on predefined terms.

Unlike traditional bank loans, debt-based crowdfunding:

  • Opens access to capital for underserved businesses.
  • Allows individuals to participate in lending opportunities.
  • Creates a direct link between capital and real-world growth.
