A mini-bond issue enables a company to raise debt funding from a group of individual lenders, usually its customers. Bond issues below €5m do not require a full legal prospectus and any bonds issued cannot normally be traded from one investor to another. In effect, most mini-bond issues are unsecured loans that must be held for their full term or until the borrower redeems them.
