Steve Robson, Managing Director of CapitalStackers presented to a packed audience at the highly successful Great British Private Investor Summit in London yesterday, organised by Angel News. Some 250 high net worth and angel investors were in the audience listening to pitches from a range of crowdfunding and peer to peer lending platforms.
Following the event, Steve said:
“We are delighted with the response from investors to the business model and really encouraged by their level of interest in the platform. The completion of two deals marks an important step for us and we now look forward to the formal launch to enable us to engage with the wider investment community.”
At a recent pre-launch event hosted by Hallidays LLP, CapitalStackers generated enough interest to complete its first two deals. The CapitalStackers business model seeks to engage with banks and allow investors to choose their preferred risk and return profile. That, and the fact that all deals are secured by commercial and residential real estate, made the Stockport based firm stand out in this embryonic but fast growing and dynamic sector.
CapitalStackers and its website aim to be the destination of choice for investors looking to finance property investments and development schemes. These will be high net worth individuals or sophisticated investors with a minimum of £5,000 to invest and looking to achieve a better deal than through some of the more traditional investment routes.
It is supported financially and professionally by Hallidays LLP, a firm of accountants with an excellent reputation. This is not the first time these people have come together in the world of property finance and information technology. In 1999 they set up pi-FRAME Ltd, a small and specialised software house which sells real estate lending risk analysis software to banks and property lending boutiques.
At the recent pre-launch event, Steve Robson commented:
“Real estate lending has spent long enough in the doldrums. This initiative and others like it will go a long way to repairing the property finance market. Not only will real estate borrowers benefit from improved liquidity, so also will investors through achieving better returns. We are genuinely excited about the future.”
