Verification & Process
A structured, transparent process designed to protect investors, support businesses, and uphold rigorous investment standards.
Every project published on SGIN has passed a three-stage verification process conducted by SGIN's review team, independently benchmarked against SOMINVEST's bankable-project criteria. Verification is not a rubber stamp — it is a rigorous assessment that typically takes 4–8 weeks.
Stage 1 · 1–2 weeks
SGIN's compliance team reviews all submitted documentation including legal entity registration, land or site rights, regulatory permits, financial projections, and management credentials. Incomplete or inconsistent documentation results in a request for clarification before proceeding.
Stage 2 · 2–4 weeks
For projects above USD 1M, SGIN conducts or commissions an independent site assessment and operational review. This includes physical site verification, supply chain assessment, and interviews with key project stakeholders.
Stage 3 · 1–2 weeks
SGIN's financial analysts conduct an independent review of the project's financial model, stress-test key assumptions, assess market risk, and produce a risk-rated investment summary that is included in the investor data room.

The full three-stage verification process typically takes 4–8 weeks depending on project complexity and the completeness of documentation submitted. Projects above USD 5M requiring site assessment may take longer.
Minimum investment sizes vary by project and are set by the project sponsor. Most opportunities on SGIN have minimums between USD 75,000 and USD 500,000. Some infrastructure projects have higher minimums.
SGIN is an independent investment marketplace, not a fund. We do not pool capital or manage investments. We connect screened investors with screened projects and facilitate the due-diligence and introduction process.
All investors must complete identity verification (passport or national ID), proof of address, source of funds declaration, and a suitability questionnaire. Institutional investors must provide entity documentation and beneficial ownership information.
