Fast Payouts and Robust Security

What sets Crowdhive apart is its robust security and fast payout system. Once our campaign concluded successfully, the funds were processed without any unexpected delays. A stellar platform!

Fantastic Page Customization for Creators

The page customization options allowed me to showcase my art project exactly how I envisioned it. Crowdhive gives creators the flexibility they actually need to stand out.

Flawless Experience for Both Creators and Backers

I've backed several projects on Crowdhive and recently launched my own. Both the backer and creator experiences are flawless. The platform feels very community-driven and trustworthy.

Perfect for Non-Profit Campaigns

Our environmental non-profit raised over $50,000 on Crowdhive. The platform's built-in sharing features allowed our campaign to go viral locally. We couldn't be happier with the results.

Crowdhive

As a creator, finding a platform that doesn't bury you in hidden fees is rare. Crowdhive is transparent, reliable, and has an amazing community base. I reached my funding goal 5 days early!

Generous bonuses to get started

I signed up via the waiting list and immediately got a €100 welcome bonus on my first €500 deposit! A great incentive to get started. The dashboard is very convenient; spreading my portfolio across different loans is a pleasure.

Entrepreneur: Launched our project without the red tape

Thanks to CrowdHive, we were able to raise financing to scale our business in Europe. Traditional banks put us through checks for months, but here the assessment process is transparent and fast. The platform really does help the real economy.

Investor: Excellent transparency and risk management

Very happy with CrowdHive. The platform provides detailed analytics on every European business loan. 'The CrowdHive Review' reports lay out all the credit risks and collateral clearly. You can feel the Swiss approach to reliability and oversight!

How it works

From €100 to monthly interest

What investing through CrowdHive looks like, step by step — useful context for reading the reviews above.

Step 1

Pick a business loan

Browse private European business loans, each with a risk rating and term. Invest from €100 per project, with no investor fees.

Every month

Receive interest

Interest is paid monthly. The target return is 10–17% a year net, depending on rating and term.

At maturity

Get your capital back

When the borrower repays, your principal returns to your account — ready to reinvest or withdraw.

Our take
“Simple, investor-friendly terms — €100 entry, no fees, monthly interest and a 10–17% target from a Swiss operator. Spread your money across several loans and let the reviews show how payouts hold up.”

What investors like

No platform fees for investors
Interest paid out every month
Start from €100 per project — easy to diversify
Target 10–17% a year net
Swiss operator, member of SRO VQF

What to watch

Target returns are not guaranteed; business loans can be late or default
Not a bank: no deposit protection on invested money
VQF oversight covers anti-money-laundering, not the loans themselves
Capital is usually tied up until each loan matures

Good questions, straight answers

CrowdHive is operated by BellaVista Invest One AG, a Swiss company that is a member of SRO VQF, a self-regulatory organisation recognised by FINMA for anti-money-laundering supervision. It is not a bank. Membership of VQF means the operator follows Swiss anti-money-laundering rules; it is not a guarantee of returns or of loan repayment.

CrowdHive targets 10–17% a year net, depending on the risk rating and term of each loan. Interest is paid monthly. A target return is not guaranteed: a business loan can be repaid late or default.

The minimum is €100 per project, so you can spread a small amount across several business loans instead of putting it all into one.

No. According to CrowdHive, the platform does not charge investors any fees. Check the current terms on crowdhive.com before you invest, as terms can change.

Private European business loans. Investors fund loans to companies directly through the platform and receive monthly interest until the loan is repaid.
