At Citadel, many of our clients have expanded their field of business into new and more innovative products which involve elements of investment, pooled income or shared revenue for the purchaser of these products. Citadel holds a Part IV Permission, granted by the UK Financial Services Authority (FSA) which means that it is able to establish, operate and wind up Unregulated Collective Investment Schemes, so enabling developers to bring their products to the market in a timely and efficient manner by combining the range of services offered by Citadel.

Citadel offers a highly professional team with more than 25 years of experience in the provision of escrow, trustee and stakeholder services. These facilities ensure that there is not only a proper collection and distribution of purchase monies and investor returns through ring-fenced bank accounts, but that the process is also cost effective, efficient and provides added credibility from a consumer perspective to both the product and the promoting entity.

Citadel can assist new ventures at every step of the set-up phase, whether the basis for the investment is in Europe, North or South America, Asia, or the Far East; be it an eco friendly forestry scheme in South America, or land development project in the UK, or North America; be it a buy-to-let hotel room investment scheme in Europe, or a bespoke property fund. Citadel can provide the Promoter with all the documentation necessary to commence the project and to effect the sale, as well as provide all the essential back-office services involved in processing the contracts and handling any funds associated with the project. Currently the projects that Citadel deals with (shared leisure and investment products) have an estimated asset value of over $2.5 billion.

If you are considering a project which could involve elements of pooled income or shared revenue, and you are looking for a UK based structure, then contact Citadel today to find out more about our Unregulated Collective Investment Schemes services – it could be the best decision you ever make for both your product and your company’s reputation.
