Alquiler Seguro

Alquiler Seguro, S.A. is a Spanish real estate services company established in 2007 by Antonio Carroza and Gustavo Rossi. The founders identified a significant opportunity in Spain's rental market, which was underdeveloped compared to other European countries. Carroza, with a background in economics and financial consulting, along with his partner Rossi, anticipated a shift from property ownership to renting, a trend that accelerated following the 2008 financial crisis. This foresight positioned the company to address the needs of property owners who were compelled to rent out properties they could no longer sell.

The company operates in the Spanish and Portuguese residential rental markets, serving private property owners and, more recently, investment funds. Its core business revolves around providing landlords with a comprehensive rental management service that mitigates the risks of non-payment. The business model is centered on a service fee structure, which includes a one-time fee equivalent to one month's rent plus VAT upon contract signing, and a recurring monthly fee of 5% of the rent plus VAT for ongoing management. This model is designed to professionalize the rental process and provide security to property owners.

Alquiler Seguro's primary service is guaranteeing rent payments to landlords on the 5th of each month, irrespective of whether the tenant has paid, thereby maintaining a 0% delinquency rate for its clients. This is achieved through a meticulous tenant selection process, which involves a proprietary scoring system to conduct a thorough solvency and viability analysis of all potential candidates. Beyond the rent guarantee, the company offers a suite of services including management of property incidents and repairs, legal assistance for evictions, and ensuring landlord anonymity. For tenants, the platform simplifies the rental process with digital transactions and eliminates the need for traditional bank guarantees. A significant milestone was the entry of the growth capital firm Aurica Capital into its shareholding in 2023 to fuel further expansion.
