Accordion Content

Risk Mitigation

Accordion Content

Interactive Cares has had their financials audited till June ’21 by an audit firm, which should give some confidence to biniyog.io investors.

Financial assessment and future prospect evaluation done by our in-house experts indicate a structured plan to increase revenue, using existing customer base.

biniyog.io will buy the necessary office equipment on behalf of investors first and secure the products for some time to ensure ownership.
This is a necessary risk to ensure Shariah compliance of the transaction.


While chances of any damage occurring to the products are very low, investors will have to keep in mind that responsibility for such damage cannot be borne by the product buyer (Interactive Cares).

biniyog.io will try to mitigate the risk by ensuring proper packaging of products and keeping the product in possession for the minimum possible time (an hour at most).

biniyog.io has had long discussions with Interactive Cares to set repayment schedules in such a way that the business can self-sustain and make timely payments.

biniyog.io has also given the business an option of a discount for early repayment to incentivize timely payments.

Interactive Cares will share a post-dated cheque as security which may only be encashed in case of any breach of the contract.
