Compliant Investment at Beehive

Beehive has worked with prominent Islamic legal advisors, and Islamic finance industry experts to develop a structure that allows us to process investments in a Sharia compliant way. All businesses applying for finance are meticulously checked to ensure that the business activity and use of funds comply with the principles of Sharia. If the business activity and use of funds comply, Beehive identifies the request as “Sharia Processing” and Islamic investors are able to place bids on the marketplace. Any finance requests that do not comply with the principles of Sharia are processed as a conventional finance structure, restricting Islamic investors from bidding on the request.

Islamic investors can benefit from P2P finance and have complete confidence their values are respected

P2P & Islamic Finance

Peer-to-peer finance (P2P) aims to build a community of investors and businesses where risks are shared and capital is channelled into real economic activity that benefits the community. Essentially, P2P follows the basic Islamic principle of sharing risk for profit rather than the model used by banks which is transferring risk for profit. Islamic finance complies with the principles of Sharia (Islamic Law); money must be used in a productive way and generating return on your money must be through legitimate and ethical trade or investment which includes an element of risk.

Commodity Murabaha

Beehive processes all “Sharia Processing” finance requests through the “Eiger Trading Platform” Commodity Murabaha platform. “Murabaha” is a commodity-backed transaction that allows Islamic investors to buy and sell commodities at a profit on a deferred payment basis.
