Livestock Wealth Aims To Change How South Africans Invest. As the knowledge about investing and saving money is becoming increasingly available, people are now keen to invest as they will be making an informed decision. Even though people want to invest they are still conflicted about what they need to invest in for guaranteed returns on investment. Investment does involve the risk of losing money; the majority of South Africans do have the luxury of risk losing their hard earned money so this assurance is needed so that they can be keen to invest.
Livestock Wealth is a South African crowd funding company that focuses on funding for cattle; it connects investors with farmers that require funding by using cattle as a form of investment. The company introduced South Africa to Crowdfarming and it has been refining its product offering, streamlining processes and helping their clients grow their wealth. It was founded in 2015 by Ntuthuko Shezi who serves as the company’s CEO.
The platform has helped clients to invest in tangible, growing assets at the click of a button. Innovation is at the heart of what the company does as it aims to expand its product range and to become the foremost Crowdfarming platform in the world. It guarantees the returns or profits of the clients as the assets are insured by the farmer.
The Livestock Wealth Farmbook App allows clients to sign up, choose the products they would like to invest in and pay securely. Payments can be made via credit card, bank transfer, instant EFT or bank debit on the App.
Livestock Wealth is a registered credit provider with the National Credit Regulator and is also regulated as a registered agricultural producer agent with the Agriculture Producer Agents’ Council.
The company allows anyone around the world to invest as long as they will be able to transact using the available payment methods and have a bank account into which withdrawn dividends can be paid out when the time arises. Clients will own real farm assets as they grow on a farm and earn profit at harvest, creating wealth for the client and the farmer.
Since 2015 Livestock Wealth has gained 2800 unique investors which have invested over R70 million and have been paid out over R10 million in profits. It has more than 30 vetted partner farmers around South Africa. The company has also managed to partner with Woolworths to supply them with free range beef.
