Conventional investment is “Equity” in Limited Companies

14/04/23 11

....a 19th Century legal dinosaur

14/04/23 12

...or “Debt” - loans secured by legal claims eg mortgages

14/04/23 13

...two conflicting claims over the same productive asset

14/04/23 14

But there’s a new furry animal out there....

14/04/23 15

...the 21st Century UK Limited Liability Partnership (LLP)

14/04/23 16

An LLP is a corporate body with limited liability....

14/04/23 17

...and...errrr...that’s it!...

14/04/23 18

As far as the Tax Man is concerned it is a Partnership

14/04/23 19

It’s an “Open” Corporate enabling partnership working...

14/04/23 20

... even without a written agreement

14/04/23 21

Capital Partnership – direct ‘Peer to Peer’ investment in productive assets

“Equity Shares” - % age shares in revenues or production...

14/04/23 24

...or Units - redeemable in production

Example: “The Art of Flirting” – a film incorporated as an LLP

14/04/23 26

The actors received “nth’s” of the gross revenues...

14/04/23 27

...I got 5%...and the producer the rest...

14/04/23 28

...except that we needed lights, cameras, pizza, coffee......

14/04/23 29

Two Capital Partners invested £10k for 20% of revenues....

Everyone was on the same side

14/04/23 33

The Capital Partnership aligns stakeholder interests....

14/04/23 34

...but it’s not a magic bullet

14/04/23 35

...there may be limited agreement or conflicting expectations....

14/04/23 36

...and partners may not see eye to eye

14/04/23 37

Capital Partnerships and Guarantee Societies are not Organisations...

14/04/23 38

...they do not own anything, do anything, employ anyone, or contract with anyone...

14/04/23 39

They are simply frameworks within which stakeholders self organise....

….is a simple new framework for innovative cross border development

‘Public’ = State and ‘Private’ = Corporation problems can be addressed in a new way...

....transcending borders through networked two way “contrats de societé”....

14/04/23 44

...rather than national or international institutions and hierarchical

structures...

...and one way contractual relationships – adversarial “contrats de mandat”
