What is a NPEX Growth bond?
NPEX Growth is an NPEX label especially for young (fast) growing companies with a financing need between € 500.000 and € 1.500.000.
The bonds have a nominal value of €100 and can be traded on the NPEX platform. The Bondholder Interest Foundation is also involved in these bonds.
The company will be tested and expertly assessed by an independent Corporate Finance party. We call this the Limited Sanity Check. The nature and size of the company will be taken into account.
In addition to the formal NPEX information memorandum, the company makes the well-known AFM information document or EBI document available to investors. The two documents are drawn up together with a securities lawyer and registered by them with the AFM.
An online company page will also be created for the company on the NPEX website. All documents including the latest annual accounts are available via the company profile page.
What is a Limited Sanity Check?
A Limited Sanity Check is a Corporate Finance office specialized in corporate finance that analyzes the company and the associated risks of the entrepreneur. Their findings will be summarized in a report submitted to NPEX. Both the results of the Limited Sanity Check and other financial data are processed in an official document by a lawyer.
