Business model & group
How the platform works and what it is registered as2026Company disclosed
Ifa describes itself as a lending-based social crowdfunding platform for micro-businesses in Iran. Borrowers apply for interest-free loans, and where a request is accepted the platform states that 100 percent of the money raised goes to the entrepreneur, who repays the lender, and the lender may then lend the same amount to another entrepreneur. Ifa states it is a non-governmental non-profit organisation approved by the Ministry of the Interior and established in 2019 to 2020, and that it pairs the finance with vocational training and business advice.
Ifa, about page ↗ · retrieved 2026-08-26Read through the search index on 26 August 2026; the page did not return content to direct retrieval from outside Iran. Note this is a charitable lending vehicle rather than a securities-regulated crowdfunding platform, so it should not be grouped with Farabourse-licensed operators without a licence check.
Ownership & capital
Registered organisation behind the platform (terms)Company disclosed
The terms define the IFA non-governmental organisation as Sazman Hemayat az Toseye Paydar Manategh Mahroom IFA, a charitable and non-profit organisation registered under number 45185 issued by the Ministry of the Interior. The same clause defines the IFA platform separately, as the online service gateways.
IFA Crowd terms (ifacrowd.fund/rules) ↗ · retrieved 2026-09-16Read on 16 September 2026. The registered person here is a non-profit registered with the Ministry of the Interior, not an entry in the commercial company register, so it carries no national identifier of the usual form. The terms distinguish the organisation from the platform, and this claim resolves the organisation.
