Vancouver, BC – CUV Ventures Corp. (TSX-V: CUV) (Berlin: A2JE7L) (the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has formally launched the RevoluFIN factoring and lending platform. The company is very encouraged with the initial interest in the platform, having done very minimal marketing.
RevoluFIN financing platform
The lending platform www.RevoluFIN.com had been active in public beta form since March 8th and has, thus far, garnered interest from 5 separate international entities seeking factoring loans. Several potential lenders have also contacted the company through the website and, are communicating with management. The RevoluFIN proprietary financing platform facilitates short to medium terms loans and factoring for commercial transactions, to both private and corporate businesses, chiefly in the travel and leisure sectors. RevoluFIN obtained its initial seed capital guarantee of up to 40 million Euros (approx 63 million CAD) on the 12th of March from Vesilen Investments. The RevoluFIN finance platform provides payment facilities for commercial Letter of Credit (LC) holders, and secured short term financing requirements. Further, the platform focuses upon stimulating the nascent self employed economies around the world, including travel related services, sold through the company's proprietary and partner websites, giving these entrepreneurs access to much needed capital, while securitizing loans through pre-booking retentions associated with future paid travel service reservations. RevoluFIN has already received multiple requests for loans and, is in the process of studying these opportunities. The company expects to obtain, on average, a 5% gross profit on loans.
CUV Ventures Corp partner Tyrval, a major worldwide supplier to the hospitality industry, has also begun submitting numerous factoring requests, for orders from numerous hotel chains. All loans, linked to Tyrval, hold the secondary advantage of an extra 6% royalty on all sales, over and above the loan interest, as per the exclusive commercial agreement announced on the 22nd March 2017.
