Is your company structure right for growing your property investment portfolio?
As your business grows, exposure to taxation increases and the risk that your own income tax rate could rise becomes a real risk. Not only that but as your business takes on additional finance and responsibilities, you and your business partners are exposed to additional personal risk. If you are releasing equity from your home and assets ensuring that this is correctly accounted for in your business should also be considered.

Property Loan Notes
A property loan note is a means for developers to borrow money to finance their projects alongside finance from banks. The investor invests a sum of money in return for a fixed interest rate, for a set term. At the end of the term, the interest is paid and the original capital investment is returned. Terms typically run from 1-5 years, and interest rates circa 8%. Whilst they are not risk-free, property loan notes are considered to be first charge debts so in the event that a developer goes bankrupt, it is highly likely that the investment capital can be recovered. The interest earned will be subject to tax because it’s considered to be income.
