More and more entrepreneurs are choosing to invest with money from their company. Are you looking for a sustainable or socially responsible investment? At Lendahand, it is possible to invest with a focus on both financial and social returns.
With every business investment via Lendahand, you as an entrepreneur support other entrepreneurs in emerging countries.
Why choose business investing?
Business investing can be done through a company, foundation, or LLC, and offers several advantages. First, there are tax benefits. When you invest from your company, such as from an LLC the costs of investing can often be deducted from profits. Investing through a Limited Liability Company (LLC) is attractive due to potential returns and tax advantages.
Business or private investing? What are the differences?
If you're considering investing, it's important to understand the difference between private investing and investing from a company. Private investments fall under income tax, where interest income is taxed. On the other hand, investing through an LLC often offers tax benefits, such as a lower corporate tax rate and the ability to offset losses. Additionally, when investing from an LLC, you are not personally liable as an entrepreneur, meaning your personal assets are protected against potential losses.
Although investing through an LLC involves more administrative obligations, it can be attractive for larger investments due to the flexibility of reinvestment and the deferral of tax payments. Private investing is simpler and gives you direct access to your returns without additional tax on dividend payouts. The choice between private or business investing depends on your investment goals, the size of your assets, and how complex you want your investment strategy to be. Of course, choosing a combination of both is also possible, often even with the same investment provider.
Why invest at Lendahand?
At Lendahand, you can easily invest from your company in crowdfunding projects that support entrepreneurs in developing countries with financing. As an entrepreneur, you help other entrepreneurs far beyond Europe to achieve their business dreams. In emerging markets, the entrepreneurial climate is not as favorable as in Europe. Often, local entrepreneurs do not have the same access to bank financing. A lack of financing hinders the growth of their business and their ability to increase their income.
