# Counteroffer

For Phase 1 Assets have been fractionalized and added to the marketplace.</mark>*

The counter-offer feature on the RWA Marketplace allows asset buyers to negotiate terms with asset originators. **Here's how the process generally works:**

1. An asset buyer expresses interest in an asset listed on the marketplace, they can either buy the asset listed or initiates a counter-offer with new terms.&#x20;
2. The asset originator receives the request and reviews the proposed terms.
3. If the proposed terms are not suitable for the originator, they can respond with a counteroffer.
4. The asset buyer can then review the counteroffer and decide whether to accept, reject, or provide their own counteroffer.
5. This negotiation process can continue until both parties reach a mutually acceptable agreement.

The counter-offer feature provides flexibility in term negotiations and allows both parties to tailor the terms to their specific needs.

### Example&#x20;

Suppose an asset originator wants to sell an invoice worth $50,000. The Asset Buyer views the invoice details and finds the factoring fee of 3% too low. Instead of buying the invoice, the asset buyer decides to make a counteroffer of a higher factoring fee.

The Asset Buyer submits a counteroffer with the revised factoring fee of 5% instead of the original 3%. The asset originator is notified of the counteroffer and can choose to accept, reject, or make a counteroffer themselves. If the asset originator accepts the counteroffer, the new fee is updated on the system, and the asset buyer can now buy the invoice with new terms.&#x20;

In this way, the counteroffer feature enables negotiation and flexibility in asset terms, benefiting both the Asset Buyer and the Asset originator. \

It’s recommended to carefully review and understand the terms before sending a counteroffer to an asset.</mark>
