“I find it energising to invest in small companies, and incredibly rewarding to see how my money is helping to make a positive difference in local communities.
It feels exciting to have a hands-on approach, and to stay in close contact with the organisations I am supporting. As well as their financial performance, I always look at the stories of the impact the projects I fund are having on real people.”

We perform thorough due diligence (in some cases over many months) on the clients we raise finance for. This includes – but is not limited to – the following:
- Know your customer checks – ensuring that the company, the management team and its board are who they say they are.
- Financial due diligence – reviewing recent financial statements and management accounts to analyse the historic financial performance of the company.
- Financial forecasts – working closely with the organisation to develop a robust financial model based on realistic underlying market, operating and financial assumptions and sensitivity analysis.
- Assessing the financial viability of the organisation using reasonable underlying assumptions over the term of the bond to ensure capital and interest payments can be met in a base case scenario.
- Management team and governance – meetings with the management team and board of directors or trustees, reviewing their experience and track record and governance and decision-making processes.
- Mission and impact – understanding the mission and ethos of the organisation to ensure that genuine social or environmental impact is created through its activities.
