Alixco Disclaimer about Cheap2Shop Sdn Bhd:

Cheap2Shop's majority shareholder is SWC Enterprise Sdn Bhd, a company which has previously raised money (approximately RM 3 million) to scale up business operations via an ECF crowdfunding round with FBM Crowdtech Sdn Bhd (of which Alixco is also a part) on FundedByMe. SWC Enterprise and its associated companies SWC Properties Sdn Bhd and De Dyno Enterprise Sdn Bhd have previously raised over 30 P2P financing rounds with Alixco P2P,  with ongoing P2P campaigns having a remaining outstanding amount of approximately RM 7 million.  

Cheap2Shop has previously has multiple financing rounds  on Alixco P2P (Total: 32 Active: 6 Finished: 26)  with all payments on time to date, with an scheduled upcoming repayments of approx. RM 2 million.

The high outstanding financing amount across different companies with the same / similar majority shareholder significantly increases the risk of these P2P financings and the risk of loss of the invested capital.
