“When I founded PeerRealty last year, I wanted to give ordinary investors the opportunity to participate in the types of large-scale commercial and residential real estate deals that had previously been reserved for institutional investors,” says PeerRealty CEO Jordan Fishfeld. “I also wanted to give Midwest real estate investors the chance to invest close to home, so I’m thrilled that we’re able to bring real estate crowdfunding opportunities to this largely untapped market.”

Investors had previously been able to make non-binding investment reservations while the due diligence process was being completed. Accredited investors now have the opportunity to participate in an equity investment in Riverside Plaza, a 62,538-square ft shopping center located in the heart of downtown Belvidere, Illinois, one hour northwest of Chicago.

The minimum investment in the offering is $5,000. The deal is sponsored by Crosstown Capital Partners, LLC, a Chicago-based real estate investment firm with over 20 years of experience investing in and managing commercial property.

PeerRealty.com is a streamlined, online portal that allows any accredited investor to participate in high-quality real estate deals. A strong team and advisers with institutional backgrounds review and select deals. The founding team has over 10 years of real estate investing experience, and includes M.B.A.’s from Northwestern University’s Kellogg School of Management, the University of Chicago Booth School of Business, and the University of Miami (FL).

“Exceeding $50 million in purchased invoices in 10 months is a huge achievement for us. It speaks volumes about the market demand for our product and the hard work of our amazing team,” said Krista Morgan, P2Bi CEO and cofounder. “I am confident our rapid growth will continue in 2015 as we launch new products; I’m especially excited about the first revolving line of credit for SaaS companies and a free-fill loan product for our natural foods customers,” Morgan added.

P2Bi’s crowdsourced funding model reduces its effective cost of capital, creating room for more flexible rates and terms for its clients. A crowd of accredited investors participates in funding each credit line, and investors earn a fair return on the platform in exchange for supporting P2Bi’s clients.

“The last year has been about proving we can underwrite effectively and be a good partner to the great companies we are funding,” said Bruce Morgan, executive vice chairman and cofounder of P2Bi. “Our innovative crowdfunding model has enabled us to achieve in a short amount of time what a traditional alternative finance company would take years to accomplish,” Morgan continued.

P2Bi can provide working capital financing of up to $5 million per client—normally secured by accounts receivable, future contractual revenue flows or other assets. The company’s aim is to improve access to working capital for growing businesses with a new generation of financing products.
