Buyback Guarantee
At Leading Bridges, we understand that cross-border investment—particularly in emerging African markets—requires a high level of trust. While we rigorously vet every project, we believe in providing an extra layer of security for our investors.
1. Our Due Diligence Commitment:
Before any project is listed on our portal (Corporate 1802488-0), our team conducts an extensive audit. We evaluate the business model, financial health, local regulatory compliance, and the track record of the founders. Only projects that meet our strict "Foundations for Growth" criteria make it to the platform.
2. The Buyback Guaranty Program (BGP): For select projects designated with the [BGP-Certified] badge, Leading Bridges facilitates a Buyback Guaranty. This is a contractual commitment between the project issuer and the investor, held in trust via Leading Bridges.How it works: In the event that a project issuer fails to meet specific operational milestones or faces insolvency within a 24-month period, the issuer has pre-committed to a buyback of investor shares at a predetermined price of [X]% of the initial principal investment.The Escrow Mechanism: For BGP-certified projects, a portion of the project’s initial funding is held in a protected escrow account to ensure liquidity is available should a buyback be triggered.Investor Security: By acting as the intermediary, Leading Bridges enforces the terms of the Buyback Agreement, ensuring that investors are protected against project abandonment or failure to meet key performance indicators.
3. Scope of the Guaranty Eligibility: Only projects labeled as "Buyback Guaranteed" are eligible.Trigger Events: The guaranty is triggered by defined "Events of Default," such as failure to provide quarterly financial reporting for two consecutive periods, or a cessation of core business operations.Exclusions: The Buyback Guaranty does not cover market-related risks, currency devaluations, or standard business losses resulting from competitive market conditions. It is specifically designed to protect against institutional negligence and project abandonment.
4. Transparency: Compliance Being a regulated portal in Canada is not just a badge—it is our legal commitment to you. All terms of our Buyback Guaranty are explicitly detailed in the Offering Memorandum (OM) of the respective project. We encourage all investors to review the "Risk Factors" section of the OM carefully before committing capital.
