Equity & Joint Ventures
in Swansea City Centre

Equity and joint venture structures solve a fundamental problem: you have the development expertise, the site, and the planning — but not the capital. Rather than scaling down your ambitions to match your available equity, JV structures bring in a capital partner who funds 100% of project costs in exchange for a share of the profits.

JV structures vary widely. At one end, a simple equity injection with a fixed preferred return operates similarly to expensive debt. At the other end, a full joint venture with shared decision-making, shared risk, and a waterfall profit distribution gives the capital partner genuine co-ownership of the project. The right structure depends on both parties' risk appetite and return expectations.

Finding the right equity partner is as important as finding the right deal. Family offices, private equity funds, and high-net-worth individuals each bring different expectations around reporting, governance, and involvement in development decisions. We match developers with equity partners whose investment style aligns with their approach to project management.

Wales offers genuine development opportunities backed by a supportive government policy environment. Help to Buy Wales and Welsh Government grant schemes provide demand-side support that improves scheme viability, particularly for developers targeting the first-time buyer market in areas like the South Wales valleys.
