is then traded on Credebt Exchange®. Hundreds of these ETR are bought, sold and settled on a daily basis. All ETR are purchased at a discount that generates the investors’ return.

Investor purchases EUR 100,000 of Investabill® where their investment intermediary negotiates the rate and fixed term with an Exchange Specialist and agrees a buy rate, or yield of 3.000%. If the funds are invested for the full period and all ETR are fully paid, net of all costs and fees, the Investor would receive EUR 103,000 in a
12 month period. Reinvestment can be renegotiated. The following are three recent investment results. Investabill® does not deduct any tax from investments in ETR. Investors are advised to consult a qualified tax advisor or accountant in the country where they are a permanent resident.

HOW RETURNS ARE GENERATED FROM INVESTABILL®

Originator businesses issue invoices every day. Many of these invoices are payable by large Investment Quality companies. Time to payment can be an issue. To improve cash flow, Originators may choose to discount and sell their payables and receivables to Credebt Exchange®. It is through these invoices that Investors make their return.

YIELD

The Investors’ yield is achieved by purchasing ETR at a discount. The Credebt Exchange® Master Agreement ensures credit liability is with the Investabill® debtor company. This is the payor of the invoice. Typically these are bluechip, household name companies or government organisations. †Investment Quality is a combination of Investment Grade [IG] organisations and other creditworthy organisations, as determined by AIG and other credit rating agencies that are approved and authorised by the Credebt® Team.

Ownership & Control

Credebt Exchange® buys and owns large plant and machinery. Typically, Credebt® pays c.50.00% to purchase these assets. However, it owns them 100.0% outright. The remaining 50.00% is paid by the operator that rents the machinery from Credebt®.
