Bailsman — enabling people to exchange their security deposits for guarantees

It has become a common practice in several business sectors to ask for a security deposit from the clients, predominantly in the real estate rental, accommodation, and car rental markets.

The current situation on the market requires clients to possess large extra funds for security deposits which they don’t have or can use for other purposes. At the same time, those security deposit funds are tied down unused for whole service period (in cases even longer) while cannot be used by neither party for more necessary or profitable purposes. On the other side, merchants are forced to take uncovered risks against clients to support client’s affordability.

The optimal solution would consider the primary needs for both parties — an affordability for clients and a need to lower the risks for merchants. An overall win-win solution for both sides would be a trustworthy 3rd party, which provides the guarantee that the client’s obligations to merchant will always be fulfilled. The described solution is exactly what Bailsman offers.

What is Bailsman?

Bailsman offers quick and easy blockchain-based security deposit solution for clients who don’t have the required sum or simply prefer to spend it on something else. Bailsman provides a third party guarantee to the merchant for a small monthly fee, which is paid by the client, instead of making the security deposit payment and tying up the cash.

Merchants can rest assured as there are no risks of not receiving the requested claim amount. Bailsman provides only guarantees that are 100% backed by licensed financial institutions or telecom companies and will be paid out despite the financial situation of the customer.

All the provided information and processes inside the platform are time-stamped and recorded by using blockchain technology. This allows the financial institutions and telecom companies to be sure that their decisions are based on the accurate information and merchants — that guarantees by Bailsman are really backed by the presented companies.

Bailsman Growth Opportunities

The growth opportunities for Bailsman are huge, as the global security deposit funds across sectors are estimated to be more than $1,5 trillion. Bailsman has already started to develop a working solution for the residential real estate industry, with market size over $300 billion. Bailsman’s future development is not limited by offering guarantee service only for residential rental market but includes plans to expand to other sectors as well.
