🏠 In Slovakia, 91% of seniors own their home. Average pension: €620/month.
In Czechia: a flat worth €160-200K, pension €840/month.

Sitting on a goldmine, eating bread rolls.

In the UK and France, equity release has been unlocking this wealth for decades — no loans, no debt. The homeowner stays in their home, receives payments, and nothing needs to be repaid.

In Central Europe? Almost nothing exists.

Why? Regulation gaps, cultural barriers, and zero product availability.

The numbers are striking:
→ 91.7% of Slovak seniors' wealth is locked in property (Eurostat)
→ In Czechia it's 78%, but at higher property values
→ UK equity release market: £6.2bn in 2024, growing 8% yearly
→ Central Europe: essentially zero

This is one of the biggest unaddressed financial challenges in our region. We're researching how to change that.

🎅 Santa visited instarea today — and he didn’t come empty-handed.
Instead of just the classic Secret Santa gifts, he brought our team something truly meaningful for long-term growth:

🎁 Gallup CliftonStrengths assessments by Gallup for everyone.

So after unwrapping surprises, the whole office spent about 30–45 minutes going through 177 paired questions, discovering our top strengths, understanding what makes each of us unique, and learning how we can collaborate even better as a team.

Because sometimes the best gift isn’t a mug, chocolate, or office merch…
It’s self-development. Insight. Reflection. A clearer view of who you are.

At Instarea we believe that great teams are built on trust, understanding, and self-awareness — and this year’s Santa decided to level us up in all three.

✨ Do self-development gifts count as a bonus to company swag?
We say yes.

Happy holidays from the Instarea is. money making software — growing together, even in December. ❤️🎄

✌🇸🇰 Freedom and democracy are at the core of who we are.

That’s why this November 17th, we choose to celebrate the courage of our mothers and fathers — the heroes of the Velvet Revolution, who opened Slovakia’s path toward a free, modern, and European society.

At Instarea is. money making software , we believe that values matter more than business for at least one day — so we’re freeing our team to stand up and fight for their country in their own way.

We announced this initiative weeks ago, and today we proudly join Sporiteľňa and other brave multinational enterprises across Slovakia who share the same belief along with the local business.
