Start private. Go public if you need more.

Peer-to-peer lending, structured your way.

Every business starts with a private IOU on terms you set. Need more capital than one lender can provide? Open the same agreement to public investors for additional funding — without losing the original terms or record.

Built around the relationship

A private IOU that can grow into public funding.

Realfund starts every deal as a private agreement. If a business needs more capital than one lender can provide, that same IOU can be opened to the public marketplace for additional funding — the original private terms stay in place.

For lending between friends, family, customers, or business partners on terms you define together.

  • Custom rates, dates, and repayment schedules
