The company CGZ CONDOGREENZERO S.r.l. requests a minimum financing of €100.000 (and a maximum of €350.000) for the advance of liquidity from a pre-existing Credit Assignment Contract with a leading and important Italian Joint Stock Company.
OPERATION IN DETAIL
CONDOGREENZERO, based in Milan, has consolidated its role as a General Contractor operating throughout Northern Italy, particularly in Lombardy and Veneto, in the field of energy efficiency and seismic improvement, managing over 50 construction sites. The company intends to complete several large-scale construction projects during the 2024-2025 period.
The tax credits generated by the construction bonuses that CONDOGREENZERO generates are already contracted for assignment to a well-known Italian Joint Stock Company.
It is important for CONDOGREENZERO to access sources of liquidity that allow for financing the working capital created on construction sites due to current regulations that only allow for three instances of invoicing in favor of companies in the sector.
The operation subject to financing has been validated by certifying technicians through conformity checks and a "Comfort Letter" issued by one of the consulting companies qualify as a "Big Four".
The company CGZ CONDOGREENZERO already has a signed contract for the transfer of credits generated by the building bonuses interventions carried out in the construction sites managed as General Contractor. As regulated, the transfers must take place in only three distinct phases in favor of the assignee companies.
Therefore, CONDOGREENZERO already has an existing signed transfer contract, for a total of €10.000.000 with a major Italian joint-stock company, to be divided into three distinct moments. The financing request for liquidity to the crowd is a bridge loan necessary to advance a portion of the funds needed to complete the construction projects in the years 2024-2025.
The crowd bridge loan will be repaid thanks to the actual transfer of tax credits in cash as regulated by the Contract between CGZ CONDOGREENZERO and the Italian joint-stock company, which will take place during Q3 of 2026.
The credits subject to the transfer have been validated by expert certifiers through conformity checks and a "Comfort Letter" issued by a "Big Four" firm.
In Italy, in recent years, tax credits generated by real estate and energy redevelopment interventions have become a crucial tool to incentivize the renovation and energy efficiency of buildings. These credits mainly come from state programs such as the Renovation Bonus, Eco-bonus, and the more recent 110% Superbonus, introduced with the 2020 Relaunch Decree and recently reduced to 70% and 50% according to current regulations.
The 110% Superbonus, in particular, has had a significant impact. It allows property owners to deduct 110% of the expenses incurred for interventions that improve energy efficiency (such as thermal insulation, replacement of heating systems) and seismic interventions. This incentive was designed to promote energy transition and revitalize the construction sector.
Beneficiaries can take advantage of the tax credit in various ways: directly in their income tax return over 5 or 10 years, or by transferring the credit to third parties such as banks, companies, or suppliers in exchange for immediate liquidity. This possibility of transfer has greatly boosted the adoption of incentives, as it has reduced the initial financial impact for beneficiaries.
However, the tax credit system has not been without its challenges. Starting from 2022, issues related to the management of credit transfers have emerged, with delays and difficulties in the tax credit market, especially due to increasing regulatory complexity and frequent legislative changes. This has created uncertainty for both property owners and construction companies, with effects on cash flow and the effectiveness of incentives. Despite this, incentives continue to represent a fundamental pillar for the redevelopment of the Italian real estate heritage.
To date, one method to carry out this type of incentive and mobilize financial resources directed to companies in the sector to undertake new construction sites and interventions dedicated to redevelopment and energy efficiency is the signing of transfer contracts with leading transferee companies, often due to recurring payments from the Public Administration, which purchase tax credits in exchange for liquidity from General Contractors, the assignors, through a transfer agreement, subject to technical assessment and certification, which takes place in three distinct time windows.
Supporting the financial development of energy efficiency and real estate redevelopment is a fundamental step towards a more sustainable management of resources that can generate a positive impact both economically and environmentally.
ENERSCORE+ & INTEGRATED EASYSCORE EXPERT
Ener2Crowd provides a first qualitative parameter called "EnerScore+" which is assigned to each investment proposal. This parameter defines a SCORING that objectively, comprehensively, and understandably summarizes all the data that characterize the project from a technical point of view, including an ESG evaluation expressed in CLASSES, and a verification of activated SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals).
A specific Financial Rating called "Integrated EasyScore Expert" is expressed, resulting from the credit analysis carried out by EasyFintech, which verifies the reliability and creditworthiness of the Project Owner Company. EasyFintech S.r.l. is a company that operates as a reseller of commercial information with License art. 134 TULPS Prefecture of Milan prot. no. 14795/12B15E dated 31/01/2020.
In the case of the project proposed by CGZ CONDOGREEN ZERO S.r.l., the resulting EnerScore+ is 7.62, so an ENERSCORE+ BB is assigned, while the Integrated EasyScore Expert is at a level of 5 - LOW SOLVENCY.

In recent months, the global socio-economic context has led to a strong increase in inflation, which is the prolonged increase in the average level of prices for goods and services: the ECB has therefore predicted an increase in interest rates on mortgages and loans with the aim of preserving consumers' purchasing power. The increase in central rates is a macroeconomic policy to counter inflation: the goal of increasing rates is a reduction in purchasing power, reducing available liquidity for both individuals and companies, to slow down the economy and avoid a continuous uncontrolled rise in prices.
In June 2024, after 5 years, the ECB made a first cut in interest rates of 0.25 percentage points following macroeconomic estimates, opening up new scenarios in the financial market.
INDEXATION TO EURIRS AND EURIBOR INDICES
Just as banks determine the interest rate applied to loans, in this case too, the interest rate is linked to the EURIRS index (in the case of a fixed rate) and the EURIBOR index (in the case of a variable rate).
CGZ Condogreenzero S.r.l. is based in Milan (MI) and operates in various construction sites throughout Northern Italy.
A combination of essential and unique skills in the market, those of a family of builders operating both in the Italian market, in the private and public sectors with unlimited SOA (Società Organismo di Attestazione) categories, and in the international market (Libya, Iraq, Montenegro, Lebanon).
The Condogreen project is based on an industrial, efficient, and scalable approach.
The analysis of the Company that aims to raise funds is the result of the Report provided by EasyFintech S.r.l. - License art. 134 TULPS Prefecture of Milan prot. n. 14795/12B15E of 31/01/2020 - based on the calculators of the available databases such as Crif, CriBis, CeBi, Cerved, Dun & Bradstreet, InfoCamere and other financial scoring tools that combine traditional analysis (economic-financial, trend, reputational) with statistical methodologies based on Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and Data Analysis.
CGZ CONDOGREENZERO S.r.l. is a company with registered office in Milan established in 2022 with ATECO code 41.2, which has as its primary purpose "construction of residential and non-residential buildings […]" and is part of the CONDOGREEN Group.The company is managed by Ing. Davide Pracchi, who has no negative issues.
The Parent Company CONDOGREEN S.r.l. is the historical company of the Group established in 2006 and always managed by Ing. Pracchi, with a turnover of 27 million euros, operating in the construction sector as an operator and General Contractor in real estate improvement and redevelopment services.
CONDOGREEN Srl, the Parent Company, has already carried out a campaign on the platform in July 2021: following the regulatory changes of 110, the Company had a few days delay in the repayment, but despite the numerous difficulties encountered by operators in the sector during that period, it successfully completed and repaid the capital+interest+penalty to the investors, demonstrating seriousness and reliability; also thanks to the numbers developed over the years as a qualified operator in the reference sector.
CGZ CONDOGREENZERO S.r.l. was established with the specific purpose of managing various General Contractor activities and to manage the resulting flows.
The adopted analysis methodology involves the calculation of a synthetic risk indicator, called Easyscore Integrato by EasyFintech S.r.l., obtained through a proprietary algorithm that integrates and synthesizes three partial scores (Easyscore Expert, CeBi Score 4, and CR Score). The Easyscore Integrato by EasyFintech places the Company in an area corresponding to the judgment of "Low Solvency". The analysis was carried out on the 2022 Financial Statements as it was the available one at the time of the analysis in the available databases, and the Company has already filed the 2023 Financial Statements. Below is a summary of the analysis of the other partial scores:
• Rating Cribis D&B: evaluates the financial solvency and commercial reliability of the company through the calculation of the Cribis d&b Rating (Failure score, Delinquency score, Paydex Cribis d&b, negative events). CGZ CONDOGREENZERO S.r.l. has been assigned a Cribis Rating of "4" with a "higher than average cessation risk";
• CeBi Score 4: CeBi calculations provide the calculation of PD - Probability Default through a certified algorithm for the banking world, within the framework of scoring models and internal rating systems (so-called Internal Rating Based) used by Italian Credit Institutions. The scores evaluate the economic and financial solidity of the company, placed in its current and prospective economic system of reference. The analysis of the 2022 Financial Statements in terms of insolvency risk classifies the company in class S3, corresponding to a situation of High Solvency with a PD of 0.06%. This class includes 18.12% of companies in the RESIDENTIAL AND NON-RESIDENTIAL BUILDING CONSTRUCTION sector.
• CR Score: provides a synthetic judgment on the ways in which the credit lines granted to the company by the banking system are used, as reported within the Central Credit Register of the Bank of Italy. The Score related to the Central Credit Register of the Bank of Italy is calculated over a period of 12 months. It was not possible to calculate this value as there are no active loans and/or active credit lines at the time of calculating this parameter.
The analyses summarized in the Easyscore Integrato by EasyFintech place the company CGZ CONDOGREENZERO S.r.l. in an area of "Low Solvency".
CONCLUSIONS
The 2023 Financial Statements of CGZ CONDOGREENZERO S.r.l. show a company in strong expansion, with a significant increase in production value and good profitability. However, there are some critical elements, such as high financial charges and provisions for tax risks, which could affect future stability. The company will need to carefully manage its debt and monitor tax regulations to ensure long-term sustainability. In the financing operation, a positive element to consider is the presence of the Assignment Agreement with a leading Italian S.p.A. with strong growth numbers, already signed and contracted, and the Comfort Letter from the "Big Four". The analyses carried out on the assignee S.p.A. have shown ample economic and financial solvency margins.
The Financing Agreement is a purpose loan: CGZ CONDOGREENZERO S.r.l. undertakes to use the funds received from Investors exactly as specified in the Project outlined in the public offer and not to divert them for other purposes.
The expected cost already contracted for the transfers is approximately €10.000,000 in total, which the General Contractor, the transferor, will receive from the Italian Joint Stock Company, the transferee, in the form of liquidity. The minimum target for the Ener2Crowd fundraising campaign will cover 1% of the Capex, while the maximum target will cover 3,5% of the total.
The crowdfunding campaign is a bridge loan that allows the company to advance the already contracted liquidity through a transfer agreement signed with a leading Italian Joint Stock Company in accordance with the regulations in three distinct phases.
The amortization plan provides for the repayment of the Capital only in the last installment. There are quarterly installments with only the Interest Amount equal to €9.187,50.
The following amortization plan for CGZ Condogreenzero S.r.l. is calculated with an interest rate of 10,50% for a total of €350.000.
N.B.: The amortization plan begins from the first available date after the release terms, therefore the table provided is just a simulation containing the first available date in case the campaign is completed by its deadline.

Energy efficiency in the residential sector refers to measures and interventions aimed at reducing the energy consumption of existing residential buildings, improving their efficiency in the use of energy resources. The usual interventions carried out to achieve this goal are: thermal insulation; replacement of windows and doors; upgrading heating and cooling systems; efficient lighting; use of efficient technologies and appliances; installation of renewable energy systems; smart energy management and monitoring. Energy efficiency in buildings not only reduces energy costs for owners, but also contributes to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and the improvement of environmental sustainability. In many countries, there are also incentives and government programs to promote energy efficiency in residential buildings. Currently, about 75% of the EU building stock is energy inefficient, which means that a large amount of energy used is wasted. Supporting the energy transition is an important step in improving the building stock and approaching the sustainable development goals by 2030.
It was not possible to calculate any direct environmental benefits for the operation subject to financing. Since it is a liquidity operation, different energy redevelopment and efficiency projects that have already taken place are grouped together.
Thanks to the campaign, the Company will be able to receive in advance the liquidity necessary for the closure of construction sites and the development of future redevelopment and efficiency sites; therefore, the "Environmental Points" for this campaign are equal to 1.
