You could lose all the money you invest
Investments offered by Melbury Place involve a high degree of risk. If the underlying business fails, you may lose the entirety of your investment. High advertised returns do not guarantee security, and past performance is not indicative of future results.
Advertised returns are not guaranteed.
This is not a savings account. Returns may vary, and the issuer's inability to meet obligations may result in lower-than-expected or no returns. Higher potential returns often correlate with higher levels of risk.

Complexity of investment
Our investment structures may be complex, involving underlying assets or strategies that are difficult to understand or evaluate. You should seek independent financial advice to assess suitability.

Risk Priority
Melbury Place enables you to make fixed rate loans indirectly to a borrower either secured a strong covenant. The loans will be made under individual loan notes directly between you and Melbury Place. Melbury Place is a trading style of Capjourney Ltd, a limited liability company. Loan notes may have different maturities and interest rates but all rank equally, including the loans made by the Directors of Melbury Place and their family members. Melbury Place takes security and receives interest and principal payments from borrowers, which it then uses to service its own borrowings.
Insolvency
If Melbury Place were to become insolvent or stop trading for any reason, it could present some risk to you. An administrator would be appointed to take over from the directors of the company. The administrator would seek to realise the value of the company’s assets (its loan book) and distribute proceeds to its creditors (primarily the lenders). The value of the loan book sold in distress may not be sufficient to cover all of its debts.
