The feasibility check
An honest written answer in one week on whether your project fits. Feasibility review
For energy project owners
Build your energy project with money from people who want it built.
A small solar park, rooftop panels on your factory, a small hydro plant, a biogas unit or a battery can be paid for by many investors, so you do not rely on one bank loan alone. Neighbours, customers and investors further away can each take a small share of the project. You run the offering on the Asset Tokenization platform: your own investor portal, your investor register and the payout instructions to your investors. Our team sets it up with you and supports you for as long as it runs.
- Typical time to launch

What this means for your business
Energy projects cost a lot up front and then produce income for many years. That is why banks usually ask for collateral, a long track record and personal security before they lend. Tokenization is a regulated way to offer small shares of the project to many investors online as well. Each investor’s holding is kept in a digital investor register as a digital unit called a token, and payments follow the terms everyone signed.
An energy project earns steadily for many years, so the terms can follow that income. Depending on the structure, investors can share in electricity sales instead of you making fixed monthly loan payments. The people living next to the panels or the turbine can own a piece of it, which often helps local support. Smaller amounts let more people take part, and you keep running the project.
It is still a regulated offering. It needs a proper structure, approved documents, identity checks on every investor and regular reporting. It takes weeks, not days, and money only comes in if investors choose to invest. The platform does the routine work and our team helps with the setup, so it is simpler for you, but we will not pretend it is effortless.
Step by step
Six steps from first call to paying investors
A typical plan for one offering in a jurisdiction we already know. Time for any regulator review comes on top.
- 1Week 1
We check if your project fits
You send us the basics: site, permits, grid connection, costs and who buys the power. Our team gives you a written Go, Conditional Go or No-Go.
- 2Weeks 2–3
We design the structure
Usually a separate project company that owns the panels, turbine or plant. We agree what investors receive, for example a share of electricity sales, and qualified counsel prepares the legal work.
- 3Weeks 3–6
We set the terms and the rules
How long the investment runs, how income is shared and in what order. Who may invest, from which countries and how much. These rules are set in the platform and built into each token, so they are checked on every transfer.
- 4Weeks 6–12
Your investor portal goes live
We configure your portal on the platform, in your brand and on your own web address, where investors register, verify their identity, sign and pay. The offering documents are finalised and filed for approval where that is required.
- 5Around week 12
You open the offering
You tell your neighbours, customers and network. Investors sign up in your portal, pass identity checks and pay. You follow every subscription in your console. We help with the investor story and make introductions where it fits.
- 6Every year
You run it on the platform
Each year you publish measured output and results through your portal. The platform calculates and instructs each investor’s share and keeps the register up to date, and our team is there when you need support.
How it compares with other ways to fund it
A general comparison, not advice for your project. Every route has its place, and many businesses combine them.
| Bank loan | A strategic or fund investor | Offering to many investors (tokenized) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| What you need to qualify | Collateral, credit history and often personal security. | An investor who shares your view of the business and agrees terms with you. | A project with permits, a clear plan and a story people want to back. |
| How money goes back | Fixed repayments, whether the sun shines or not. | A share of profits or value, as agreed. | Depending on the structure, a share of electricity sales or profits under agreed terms. |
| Who takes part | One bank. | One investor or a small group. | Many investors, including neighbours and customers. |
| Control of the project | You keep control within the loan conditions. | Often a board seat or a say in decisions, which many owners value for the experience it brings. | You set what investors receive. Voting rights only if the structure includes them. |
| Local support | Not part of the deal. | Not usually part of the deal. | Local people can own part of the project. |
| Paperwork and time | Familiar process, weeks to months. | Negotiation and legal work with one party. | A regulated offering with approved documents, around 12 weeks plus any regulator review. |
| After the money arrives | Repayments and bank reporting. | Reporting to your investor, who is often an active partner. | Regular reporting and payments to every investor, handled on the platform. |
Every route has its place, and many businesses combine them. General comparison only; actual terms depend on the lender or investor and on the structure, confirmed by qualified local counsel.
Is this right for your project?
A good fit if
- Permits and a grid connection are in place or close to final.
- You know who buys the power or how it will be sold.
- Local people, customers or your network care about the project.
- You are ready to report to investors every year for the life of the project.
- You want to reduce how much you depend on one bank.
Probably not yet if
- The project is still at the idea stage, with no permits or site.
- A bank already covers the whole cost on terms you are happy with.
- Subsidy or licence rules forbid changes in who owns the project.
- You need the money within days.

Questions energy project owners ask
Do I lose control of my project?
Not necessarily. You choose what investors receive. With a share of electricity sales or a note, investors usually have no vote in how you run the project. If you offer shares with voting rights, you decide how many.
What if we do not raise the full amount?
The terms can set a minimum. If it is not reached, investors get their money back as the terms describe, and you can decide whether to try again, build in stages or use other funding.
Is this legal where my project is?
In many countries it is possible as a regulated offering, and some countries have extra rules for community energy. Our own offerings were approved by the Securities Commission of the Republic of Serbia. For yours, the feasibility review tells you what applies to your project. Structures are confirmed and executed by qualified local counsel.
What if the project produces less than planned?
What investors receive follows the terms. If the terms share electricity sales, lower output means lower payments, and the documents say that clearly from the start. We test the terms against a good year and a bad year before launch.
Can we combine this with a bank loan?
Usually, if the bank agrees. The bank typically ranks ahead of investors, and the terms say that clearly so investors know where they stand.
How is this different from crowdfunding?
Crowdfunding runs on someone else's marketplace, under its limits. Here the offering runs on your own investor platform, holdings sit in a digital investor register, and the rules on who may hold and transfer are built into the security. For small amounts, crowdfunding can be the better fit, and we will say so.
What does it cost?
It depends on the project, the structure and the countries involved, so we quote in writing after the one week check. The quote covers the raise and the years after it separately, so you see both before you commit. Legal counsel, audit and identity checks are paid directly to the independent firms that do them, and we do not mark them up. If your raise is small enough that crowdfunding or a bank loan alone would be better, we will tell you in the check, before you have spent anything.
Has the platform been used before?
Yes. We run our own regulated offerings on it, including a hazelnut orchard offering in Serbia that raised more than €1.5 million from more than 140 investors. Our own offerings so far are agricultural. The same platform, investor rules and register apply to an energy project company.
Is this cryptocurrency?
No. What your investors receive is a regulated security, with rights written in the documents, not a coin. Where the law requires it, the offering has to be approved by a financial regulator before anyone pays. The token only describes how ownership is recorded. What a holding is worth depends on your project, not on speculation
Illustrative information only, not an offer of securities or legal advice. Any offering is a regulated offering made by your business, with approved documents, identity checks and ongoing obligations to investors. Asset Tokenization is a technology and advisory provider.
