Full review
The terms say Lita is registered at the RCS Paris under number 805 139 383 at avenue Jean Jaurès, Paris, and is authorised by the AMF as a PSFP under number FP-2023-27. The legal notice says the site is hosted in France by Amazon Web Services LLC, a US company.
The legal name of the company was cut in our extract, so we cite the register number.
Offers
Lita lists equity or shares, bonds (private debt), real estate and renewable energy projects. Investors open an account with Mangopay S.A. inside the Lita environment.
A testimonial says a community raised EUR 2.5 million in 48 hours.
Regulation
Authorisation as a participatory financing service provider (PSFP) places it under AMF supervision in France. The page on regulatory notices is public.
Hosting by a US company in France is a point to weigh.
