The concept
Grow your business. Return capital from revenue.
Your organization earns money from player transfers, academy fees, sponsorships and events. Private capital helps you expand. Your plan shows how cash from that revenue returns capital to investors.

About the 5%
The 5% figure is a proposed minimum annual return-of-capital amount for screening — not interest, a guaranteed profit or a fixed repayment contract. Whether payments reduce principal, include upside or are structured as revenue participation must be negotiated and documented. Private investments may be regulated.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the 5% an interest rate?
No. It is a proposed minimum annual return-of-capital amount used for screening — not interest, a guaranteed profit or a fixed repayment contract.
How do investors get their money back?
The investment structure must define how cash from business revenue returns capital to investors. Payment terms, timelines and investor rights are negotiated and documented during the full review.
What counts as revenue?
Current income from player transfers and athlete development, academy and training fees, memberships, sponsorships, competitions, events and other existing revenue-generating services.
Do I give up ownership?
Ownership and investor rights depend on the agreed investment structure. Any ownership, revenue participation or other terms must be reviewed and documented before funding.
What happens after I apply?
The next steps are a review of your business plan and verified financials, followed by investment structuring and, where suitable, introductions to eligible investors. Financial and legal review is required.
