Why Leasing?

Leasing is a simple contractual arrangement calling for the lessee (user) to pay the lessor (owner) regular payments in exchange for use of an asset over an agreed period of time. Buildings, vehicles and equipment are among the most common assets that are leased.

For instance, imagine that you and 5 of your friends (owners/lessors) were to co-invest in bikes that were then leased to a restaurant (users/lessee) to use for delivery and pay all of you a monthly rental. It is as simple as that.

Through RIOFIN’s fractional investment this handicap is no longer an obstruction. We list such properties in our  platform, once funding through multiple investors  gets completed the property is purchased and sold off in the market with a higher profit , that profit will be shared to all invested partners.
