Quintessentially Ventures Limited Risk Warning

Estimated reading time: 2 min

Due to the potential for losses, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) considers this investment to be high risk.

1. You could lose all the money you invest

If the business you invest in fails, you are likely to lose 100% of the money you invested. Most start-up businesses fail.

2. You won't get your money back quickly

Even if the business you invest in is successful, it will likely take several years to get your money back.
The most likely way to get your money back is if the business is bought by another business or lists its shares on an exchange such as the London Stock Exchange. These events are not common.
Start-up businesses very rarely pay you back through dividends. You should not expect to get your money back this way.

3. Don't put all your eggs in one basket

Putting all your money into a single business or type of investment for example, is risky. Spreading your money across different investments makes you less dependent on any one to do well. A good rule of thumb is not to invest more than 10% of your money in high-risk investments. [https://www.fca.org.uk/investsmart/5-questions-ask-you-invest]

4. The value of your investment can be reduced

If your investment is shares, the percentage of the business that you own will decrease if the business issues more shares. This could mean that the value of your investment reduces, depending on how much the business grows. Most start-up businesses issue multiple rounds of shares.
These new shares could have additional rights that your shares don't have, such as the right to receive a fixed dividend, which could further reduce your chances of getting a return on your investment.

5. You are unlikely to be protected if something goes wrong

Protection from the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS), in relation to claims against failed regulated firms, does not cover poor investment performance. Try the FSCS investment protection checker here. [https://www.fscs.org.uk/check/investment-protection-checker/]
Protection from the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) does not cover poor investment performance. If you have a complaint against an FCA-regulated platform, FOS may be able to consider it. Learn more about FOS protection here. [https://www.financial-ombudsman.org.uk/consumers].

Working with QVentures has been an absolute pleasure, their experienced team of professionals are committed to delivering quality and excellence with our full aspirations in mind. We were particularly impressed with the quality and depth of their investor network which was key for the successful close of the round. QVentures have the clout to supercharge our growth and look forward to working closely with them.

MAURO ARRUDA, CO-FOUNDER AND CEO OF SMARTIA

QVentures had a very simple sign up process that took around 15 minutes. We then heard from them very quickly and discussed our business over a matter of weeks before they made an offer to us, clearly understanding our business and how they can help beyond just investment. Post signing with QVentures, we are already seeing many benefits from their team around further fund-raising, strategy, product advice and connections.
