Who founded Silverback Equity and when was it founded?

Our company was launched in 2019, following the success of the model over at Silverback Equity’s sister companies, MPL Estates Limited and First Project in the Middle East. Silverback Equity was founded by Mouhammad Dabboussi, Khalid Nafjan, Shakeel Mohmed and Mahmood Patel with more than 80 years’ experience between them.

Silverback Equity specialises in providing investors with easy access to meticulously and professionally vetted property investment opportunities which are specifically Sharia compliant.

As other robust models have been built over the years, the company feels that now is the right time to allow other investors the ideal opportunity to secure excellent investments and enjoy substantial rewards in this lucrative but competitive market.

Each and every deal presented to our investors goes through rigorous scrutiny by our team of specialist Investment Analysts. All prospects must be tested by – and pass – our own established Investment Committees before we consider launching any deal for investment.

Will I have an Investor Relations Manager?

Every Silverback Equity investor will be properly introduced to a dedicated Investor Relations Manager (IRM), who will be their primary point of contact at all times. The IRM will detail information about ongoing, live investment opportunities, and respond to any questions you, as the investor, may have about your Silverback Equity investment portfolio.

How can I invest in a project with Silverback Equity?

If you are interested in finding out more about the investment opportunities we have currently, and you can qualify as either a High-Net-Worth individual or Self-Certified Sophisticated Investor, then please register on our site. Once you have completed registration, one of our Investor Relations Managers will be in touch with you with more information and be able to answer your questions.

Once you have decided to invest with us, we will begin our client on-boarding process and contact you in order to request certified proof of details like identification and address.

‍

Can I take money out before project completion?

Unfortunately not. Your money will be in a non-liquid investment and, in your position as investor, you will be committed to the project involved for its full duration. Therefore, you must consider whether this form of illiquidity may compromise your finances or lifestyle, and take into account all relevant factors, including your age. The target project duration, as above, is only an approximate guide, and the real duration of your project may be longer.

How often does Silverback Equity launch new projects?

Typically, we regularly launch one or two new projects every month, but we primarily focus on quality over quantity.

What sort of timescales are involved in your projects?

As you can imagine, every project has its own target timescale. This will be fully detailed in a comprehensive business plan before you invest. However, the average project duration is usually estimated to be between 18 and 36 months – although, in some instances, project delivery may be longer.

What are SBEquity's typical ROI and when will they be paid?

The full details of all target returns will be found on the individual investment presentations we deliver for each of our live project opportunities. You can view these once you have successfully registered on our site as either a High-Net-Worth or Self-Certified Sophisticated Investor.

‍

What level of information will be provided about each project?

As above, all investors will receive a detailed Investment Presentation upon the launch of each project. The information detailed within the presentation will allow you to make an informed decision about whether or not to invest.

Investors will also be able to view the following documents (which will be updated to be relevant to each investment) via their own online client login portal:
‍
- A Limited Partnership Agreement
- A Joint Venture Agreement
- An Investment Arrangement Agreement
- A Key Information Document

Can I visit the site myself?

All investors are welcome to visit the site before they decide to invest with us, or once they have invested and a project is underway.If you do wish to make a site visit, simply get in touch with your Investor Relations Manager in order to arrange a site visit.

What taxes will I incur on my investment returns?

This will differ on each project, and the tax treatment will always be detailed in your investor presentation.

However, the information within this presentation is provided for information purposes only. Investors will remain fully responsible for their own tax affairs at all times. The tax treatment of investment returns will depend on the individual circumstances of every investor and may be subject to change in line with future tax regulations.

Please note that Silverback Equity is not qualified to provide specific tax advice. However, if this service is required, we do recommend that you seek professional advice from a qualified accountant or tax advisor.

How is my money held by Silverback Equity?

All the money invested with Silverback Equity are held in a dedicated client account, in full accordance with the FCA Client Money rules. This security will be in place right up to the point of completion on the purchase of each property. After the initial Set-up and Monitoring fee is deducted, all money is subsequently passed securely onto the seller’s solicitors in order to complete the purchase.

How will I be kept up to date on the progress of the project?

All investors will receive comprehensive quarterly reports on the progress of their project. These reports are comprehensively prepared by the Silverback Equity portfolio management team, who will visit each site on a monthly basis.

Do you offer any rewards to those who refer friends or family members?

What is your selection process for developers and projects?

We are very selective when deciding on the ideal investment opportunities and typically proceed with only a very small number of those originally presented to us by developers and agents.

Our internal analysis process involves rigorous diligence on every property development, including close scrutiny of everything from existing market conditions to the developer’s proven expertise and historical track record.

This research is then condensed and presented to investors in a completely unique investment proposition and presentation.
