Risk scoring

Credit history10 / 10

Collateral typeCompany Assets

Rating A (the third tier) reflects a long-established retailer with steady growth — turnover rose from €360,000 in 2021 to €726,000 in 2023 — and a clean repayment record: loans of €185,000 in 2023 and €584,000 in 2024 were repaid in full with interest.

D/E (Debt-to-equity) of 1.89 is moderate;
LTV of 56% means the pledged stock is worth well above the loan;
Credit history score of 10/10.

Keep in mind:

the collateral is wine stock, whose price and resale speed depend on demand for premium labels;
the projected 25–30% annual appreciation of the stock is the company’s own estimate;
repayment relies on selling the additional stock within the 9-month term.
