• SECURITY: is provided through way Security Trustee who places a debenture and first charge over the company's assets to secure your investment with the development company, which has a track record of over 20yrs.
• EXIT STRATEGY: is entirely dependent on the investor but can be either a one or two-year term that can be rolled over should the client wish to do so.

The Fund & Develop With Us investment program offers a unique approach to investment returns. Unlike traditional investments, funds invested in this program can be used multiple times on various projects, rather than only once. For example, when investing in a property with a developer, the developer typically makes a one-time profit of 20-30% when the property is sold.
However, by investing in the Fund & Develop With Us program, the developer can use the funds to purchase a property, renovate it, and sell it within approximately 3 months. This process can be repeated up to 8 times over the 2 year term, resulting in an average profit of 20-30% per property and a total profit of 160-240%.
Even if a developer achieves only 50% of their typical profits, the program guarantees fixed returns of 24% over the two-year term, making it an attractive investment option for both the client and the developer.
In summary, the Fund & Develop With Us investment program offers a unique investment strategy that generates higher profits by allowing developers to use funds multiple times on various projects. This approach provides investors with a fixed return loan note that offers a higher return than other investments.
