About Us

RiskEase Ltd is a newly formed Nicosia based organisation and encompasses a network of associates specialising in the development of software and the provision of advisory services in the fields of cost-benefit analysis, project finance, credit risk assessment and offering sound and practical loan restructuring and recovery solutions. All RiskEase Associates are experts in their respective fields by being successful practitioners for at least over 15 years in Cyprus and internationally.

The organisation was created to fill a substantial performance gap that emerged from a domination of “big house name” general consultants but who more often than not they cannot come up with practical solutions to the very real problems faced by banks and other credit and financial institutions. The main project of the Company was the re-development of RiskEase. RiskEase was the last of a line of software products for about 20 years (RiskMaster for DOS and Windows). In 2007 however, the product needed to be re-developed to enhance its features but primarily to make the Excel add-in compatible with all versions of Excel after Office 2007. The current release of RiskEase Master Edition is the culmination of many years of no compromises efforts to revive and re-develop the software.
