Structure of CBS Shares Convert to a Community Benefit Society (CBS) A social enterprise motivated by its social objectives and social purpose. Designed to attract investment from the local and wider community and those who have an association or interest in our vision. Unlike other types of business, the objectives of a CBS is not to maximise profits/financial gains for shareholders. Any return on capital invested by shareholders is better understood as compensation rather than a reward for risk taking. Because you are investing for social return as opposed to financial gain, the sale of shares in a CBS are not regulated by the FCA (Financial Conduct Authority). Investors become members of the CBS by purchasing shares.
Investing in a CBS Individuals, organisations and companies can apply The shares available to purchase are called withdrawable shares Shares cost £1 each (minimum shareholding of £100 and maximum shareholding of £100k) per person or organisation Each member is limited to ONE vote at any general meeting regardless of the number of shares held
How do I recover my investment? • Shares cannot be sold but can be withdrawn • (subject to conditions) • Conditions (currently being finalised by our lawyers) are typically: • Minimum holding period (normally 5 years) • Notice period • Surplus funds available
Does my investment earn? • Yes! Both in terms of the community benefit and financially. • Shares can earn interest (tbc in the offer document) • Interest is not usually paid out on an annual basis • Interest is normally credited to members’ share capital accounts and paid out on withdrawal (target 2% above base rate) • This is designed to assist cashflow and reduce admin. costs
Additional Information Profits generated by a CBS are primarily intended to be used to benefit the community. Liability of a shareholder is limited to the amount they invest. Shares can go down in value but cannot increase above their original value.
If we fail to meet our target? • The acquisition of The Angel will not proceed unless sufficient funds are raised to secure • Target 1 (the purchase of the building at £180k) • Should we fail to meet that figure, then the entirety of the monies you invested would be returned without deduction.
