Conflicts of Interest

1. Where conflicts can arise

• We are paid by the project owner, on success, while also introducing investors.
• We may introduce the same investor to more than one competing opportunity, or the same opportunity to more than one investor.
• A member of our team, or a related person, may have an interest in a party or an opportunity.

2. How we manage them

• We tell every party how we are paid before they engage. Investors pay nothing to be introduced; our fee from the project owner is set out in a signed engagement letter.
• We do not advise either side or recommend an investment, so neither party relies on us for a judgment we might be conflicted in making.
• Team members must declare any personal interest in a party or opportunity; a person with an interest takes no part in screening, matching or introducing it.
• We do not invest in opportunities we introduce, and we do not accept payment from both sides of the same transaction without the written consent of both.
• Where a conflict cannot be managed, we decline to act.

3. Records

We keep a register of declared interests and of how each conflict was managed, and review it regularly.
