EdenMountain is a technology company. It is a marketplace enabling businesses worldwide to buy and sell unique rights safely and securely. We are supported by a robust team of industry veterans, including venture capitalists, seasoned executives from major international corporations, adept wealth management experts, and savvy investors.

Is EdenMountain a bank?
EdenMountain is not a bank. EdenMountain is a marketplace where users can sell and buy unique rights safely and securely. The rights remain under the ownership of the Seller until a purchase transaction is successfully completed on the Platform, after which the purchased rights are transferred to the Buyer. While EdenMountain oversees activities on the marketplace and ensures orderly transactions, EdenMountain does not own any part of the rights.
Can anyone use the EdenMountain marketplace?
Anyone can browse the public listings on the marketplace, but only verified and registered members can list, sell, and buy. Registration is free and open to everyone; however, it requires authentication to protect the integrity of the Platform and ensure that all members — both Sellers and Buyers — are verified and authenticated.

How is the ‘Repurchase Price’ of an Originator’s Repurchase Option calculated?
To determine the Repurchase Price required to be paid by the Originator if they wish to buy back an ENOR sold with an Originator’s Repurchase Option of x% for Y years, you can use the compound interest formula. This formula is expressed as: A = P × (1 + x)^n, where:
A represents the Repurchase Price after n years.
P denotes the purchase price, i.e., the initial price at which the ENOR was sold.
x signifies the annual increase rate, expressed as a decimal (e.g., 5% as 0.05).
n indicates the number of years elapsed from the sale date of the ENOR to the Repurchase date. If the Originator is repurchasing the ENOR at the end of the validity period, then n equals Y.
For instance, if an ENOR was sold at $10,000 with an Originator’s Repurchase Option of 5% for 10 years, and you wish to calculate the Repurchase Price after 3 years from the transaction date, the formula would be: A = 10,000 × (1 + 0.05)^3 = 11,576.25.
For definitions of terms used on the Platform, please refer to the Platform Terms and Conditions and Transfer Agreement between Seller and Buyer, and all other applicable legal documents.

ENORs
What currency is used on EdenMountain?
The currency displayed on EdenMountain is USD (United States Dollar). All listings' information and pricing are expressed exclusively in USD. This ensures clarity and consistency for our users across all listings and pricing.
How is the territory of an ENOR defined?
The territory of an ENOR is a country or a subdivision thereof, depending on the country. This territory is defined by a predetermined list provided by EdenMountain for Originators to list their ENORs. If you are interested in listing or purchasing an ENOR in a territory that is not currently available on the Platform, please contact us here.
How is the price of an ENOR determined?
While the value of an ENOR is influenced by two key factors — namely the underlying business and the specific territory of the ENOR — the price of an ENOR is determined solely by the Seller. To assist Sellers in establishing a fair price for their ENOR, they are encouraged to consider the following guidelines:
Underlying Business Factors:
Brand Strength: Evaluate the recognition and reputation of the brand.
Operational History: Consider the number of years the business has been successfully operating.
Market Position and Competitive Advantages: Assess the business's standing in the market and its unique strengths.
Customer Loyalty and Retention: Look at customer loyalty, churn rates, and the proportion of repeat customers.
Facilities and Market Presence: Consider the number of facilities and the breadth of markets in which the business operates.
Financial Health: Review the business's financial stability and performance.
Future Growth Trajectory: Evaluate the potential for future growth and expansion.
Territory Factors:
Territory Size: Assess the geographical size and scope of the territory.
Demographics: Consider the population characteristics and dynamics.
Economic Conditions: Evaluate the economic environment and potential for business success.
Market Suitability: Determine the suitability of the territory as a market for the business.
Local Trends: Analyse local trends that could influence the business's future operations and potential.
By carefully considering these factors, Sellers can better determine a fair and competitive price for their ENOR. Sellers can refer to 'Valuation Tips: Pricing Guidelines for a Non-Operating Right' for more guidance.

What are the different statuses of an ENOR on the platform?
On EdenMountain, ENORs can have various statuses indicating their current availability and stage:
These statuses help clarify the current availability and transactional stage of each ENOR listed on our Platform.
- Listed or Available for Sale: ENORs listed as 'Available for Sale' are actively listed and open for purchase by interested parties.
- Sold: This status means that the ENOR has been successfully purchased and is no longer available for sale.
- Reserved: ENORs with this status are currently held or earmarked for a potential Buyer, pending finalisation of the transaction.
- Under Offer: ENORs marked as 'Under Offer' have received an initial offer from a potential Buyer. Offers can only be made at a price lower than the listed price. Despite being under offer, these ENORs are still available for sale and can be purchased outright at the listed price. Additionally, they can receive other offers.
- Unpublished: ENORs in this status are not currently visible or actively listed on the Platform. They may still be in draft mode, undergoing updates, revisions, or awaiting re-listing.
