An investment in a Polish provider of B2B infrastructure services (colocation and dedicated servers), aimed at financing a major expansion of capacity to support rapid growth

📄 Quick sheet


  • Platform : Maclear
  • Project name : Ligastech
  • Borrower : Ligastech Sp. z o.o.
  • Country / sector : Poland / IT infrastructure services (Data centers)
  • Objective : Acquisition of 300 new servers and components to double the hosting capacity (increasing from 14 to 30 racks)
  • Amount of the envelope : €600,000
  • Yield rate : 14.50% APR
  • Duration : 13 months
  • Repayment : Principal repaid at maturity, interest paid monthly
  • Collateral : Existing IT infrastructure and new servers purchased with the loan
  • Announced collateral value : 700,643 EUR
  • Buyback / buyback guarantee : No
  • Minimum ticket : 50 EUR


📊 Financial performances


  • Aggressive Growth : Revenue is expected to grow by +85% between 2024 (€712,575) and 2025 (projected at €1,321,764)
  • Strong Improvement in Profitability : Net profit is expected to more than triple (+309%) in 2025, reaching 168,310 EUR
  • Margin : The gross margin is stable and high (around 68%), thanks to the transfer of variable costs (energy, bandwidth) to the customers
  • Future Projections : Revenue is projected to be 2.59 million EUR (conservative scenario) in 2026
  • Debt : The Debt/Equity ratio is 1.58, which is moderate for a company in the investment phase


🔒 Guarantees & Security : Collateral on IT Assets


  • Total Collateral : The total liquidation value of the pledged assets (existing and new) is estimated at 700,643 EUR
  • Conservative LTV : The LTV of 86% is based on this liquidation value. This means that the collateral covers the principal of the loan by 117% (700,643 EUR / 600,000 EUR)
  • Collateral Composition : The collateral consists of tangible IT assets. The valuation is conservative, applying a discount of 60% to 70% on the purchase or accounting value to obtain the liquidation value


🎯 Opportunities (investment thesis)


  • Promising Sector: The Polish data center market is experiencing strong growth (projected CAGR of 14-15%)
  • Attractive Yield: The rate of 14.5% APR is very good for a secured loan with an LTV of 86% in Europe
  • Margin Strategy: The business model allows for the passing on of variable costs (energy) to customers, ensuring a stable and high gross margin (68%)
  • Liquidity: The presence of a secondary market on Maclear allows for early exit, although transaction fees may impact the net return in the event of resale


⚠️ Risk Analysis (home score)


This project has specific features that are crucial to note:

Growth Execution RiskModerate

  • The company must successfully install the 300 servers and reach its target utilization rate (70%). This risk is mitigated by the fact that the current capacity is already close to saturation (>85%).

Market Risk of Assets (Collateral) Moderate

  • Computer equipment depreciates quickly. However, the LTV of 86% is already calculated on the discounted liquidation value, which makes the guarantee robust.​

Data Center Dependency RiskModerate

  • The company depends on the rates and policies of the third-party data center, particularly for energy. This risk is well managed through the contractual billing of these costs to the clients.


🧪 Sensitivities & scenarios


  • Base scenario : The expansion is completed. Revenues double due to the new capacity and improved margins. The bullet repayment is covered by the accumulated profits.
  • Underperformance Scenario : In the event of not reaching the target utilization (70%), debt service is protected by strong growth in core revenues and the margin cushion
  • Default Scenario : The LTV of 86% (coverage of 117%) on the IT collateral should allow creditors to recover the principal of the loan after liquidation


✅ Investor Check-list (Due Diligence) ​


  • Check the acquisition schedule : The disbursement of the loan is planned in two installments of 300,000 EUR, aligned with the orders and delivery of the servers, which is an excellent management practice
  • Assessing technological risk : The value of the collateral depends on the ongoing demand for IT equipment. The purchased assets (Dell, HP) are market standards
  • Analyze the competition : Ligastech smartly positions itself between the giants (Equinix, Atman) and the small resellers, targeting SMEs and mid-sized companies


🧾 Verdict IndexP2P


The Ligastech project is a solid investment opportunity that combines a very attractive return of 14.5% with robust security based on a conservative LTV of 86%. The company is experiencing rapid growth (+85% projected revenue), supported by proven demand (saturation close to 85%) and a promising market (Poland/Data Centers).

Verdict : A high-quality investment, recommended for its excellent growth potential, smart margin strategy (recharging variable costs), and security through well-valued tangible assets.
