Risk Warning - Summary

Don’t invest unless you’re prepared to lose all the money you invest. NextFin promotes high - risk investments and you are unlikely to be protected if something goes wrong.

Take 2 minutes to learn more.

Investing in equity and debt crowdfunding involves high risks, which may include long-term investment horizons, illiquidity, lack of income, defaulted loans and potential dilution. Any investor needs to be in the position to afford a total loss of capital invested. Investments that are made via Peer to Peer platforms should not be considered deposits like a bank. Your capital is at risk and is not covered by the Financial Service Compensation Scheme (FSCS).

NextFin is targeted at members who have the knowledge and experience to understand these risks and make their own investment decisions. You will NOT invest through NextFin but through the relevant crowdfunding website which also has signed off the content as a Financial Promotion on its own website. NextFin is not the originator of the financial promotions that appear on its site. However we do to the best of our ability carry out limited compliance checks on the originator and the company seeking funding to seek to ensure they are conforming to FCA regulations and anti-money laundering equity/requirements as appropriate. Business Agent Limited, trading as NextFin, takes no responsibility for this information or for any recommendations or opinions made by the companies or its users.

The pitch rating report prepared by CrowdRating and published on NextFin.co.uk does not constitute a personal recommendation, offer or solicitation to buy or sell investments. The pitch rating report should be used as part of your own research to assess whether or not you should make an investment, but only as a single factor and not as a definitive source. If you require advice based on your personal circumstances or are in any doubt about investing, you should obtain advice from an appropriately qualified independent professional. Pitch rating reports are based on publicly available information, including information provided by the investment issuer. CrowdRating assesses that third party information without verifying its accuracy and does not make any representation or warranty as to the accuracy of the information on which it bases its assessments. CrowdRating’s responsibility for their contents is set out in the CrowdRating Terms and Conditions. Business Agent has not prepared or reviewed the contents of the pitch rating reports and is not responsible to you for their contents. Nothing in this Summary shall limit or exclude any liability CrowdRating owes to you under the UK regulatory system. The information and opinions are provided as at the date of the report and are subject to change without notice.

Capital invested in crowdfunding projects is at risk and you may lose some or all of your investment and/or find it difficult to sell. If the investment issuer defaults on its obligations to you, you will not be entitled to compensation from the Financial Services Compensation Scheme. You should only invest in illiquid securities as part of a diversified investment portfolio. Neither CrowdRating nor Business Agent offers personal recommendations on whether investments are suitable for you in light of your investment objectives and financial circumstances.
