Investment
Our fractionalization financing model democratizes investment opportunities, enabling investors of all sizes to participate in projects typically reserved for larger investors.
Our Strategy
Our approach centers on three core areas.
Citisquare Africa excels in identifying viable investment opportunities. Leveraging our extensive network and regional insights, we pinpoint quality projects with attractive returns that also promote local development.
We conduct comprehensive due diligence, feasibility studies, develop robust business models, perform thorough risk assessments, and engage with stakeholders — creating frameworks that facilitate effective execution.
By enabling investors of all sizes to participate in projects typically reserved for larger investors, we enhance accessibility and encourage broader participation.
Ownership Structures
Process
Citisquare Africa sources and selects the projects to be financed. Due diligence consultants evaluate the selected projects on viability and profitability, and Citisquare separately evaluates the potential risks associated with the projects.
A credible investment bank is appointed as custodian manager to hold and disburse funds under a binding custody agreement. An independent trustee escrows title documents and shares to ensure regulatory compliance and investor protection. Legal, accounting and project management teams are appointed.
Fractional shares or real estate notes are issued to investors, with investment certificates confirming ownership. Project developers provide guarantees or performance bonds. Anti-money-laundering procedures govern customer due diligence, risk assessment and transaction monitoring.
Governance
Holds and secures funds, and disburses them periodically as required under the Custody Agreement.
Escrows title documents and the shares or real estate notes issued to investors, ensuring investors are properly protected in accordance with all relevant laws and regulations.
Provide advice on the creation, structure, documentation and compliance of the proposed agreement, and on financial matters and investment strategy.
