FAQ for Debt Crowdfunding Platform
General Enquiries
Debt Crowdfunding financing platforms provide Small and Medium Enterprise (SME)’s the ability to raise sizable funds for their operations as the financing terms are catered to each of the Borrower’s needs. Debt Crowdfunding financing enables investors to obtain high returns through a diversification approach across multiple borrowing companies.
CapBay connects Investors and SME borrowers without requiring any intermediary entity such as a bank. With CapBay, investors can invest in fractions of a financing (often called as Investment Notes), enabling borrowers to raise funds through crowdfunding.
CapBay sets the rates and terms based on the creditworthiness of the applicant. This transaction is facilitated by CapBay and investors can get more returns on their savings and investments when compared to other fixed income investment products.
In return, CapBay keeps a service fee out of the interest earned by the investor. Historically, CapBay has always focused on Supply Chain Financing, particularly Invoice Financing. In the future, CapBay will be introducing more products that would benefit both borrowers and investors.

Refer to the example scenario below to understand how CapBay improves the Supply Chain Financing ecosystem:
- An SME cleaning servicing company, SmallForce has a THB 1,000,000 cleaning contract with a Government-linked Corporation (GLC), OilNas.
- Once SmallForce has completed its services, it is expected that they would be paid on credit terms of 150 days payment term. However, SmallForce would still continue to issue payments for its employees and suppliers.
- A group of investors on CapBay’s platform will pay SmallForce THB 900,000 today and take over their invoice. In 150 days, CapBay will collect THB 1,000,000 directly from OilNas, for the investor.
