01. You can lose all the money you invest.
Private businesses may fail. An equity holding can become worthless, and investors may receive nothing after creditors and any higher-ranking claims have been paid. A business review, SPV or digital record does not prevent this outcome.
02. Your investment may be illiquid.
There may be no buyer or trading venue for private shares. Transfers can be restricted by law or contracts. Do not assume that a secondary market, platform transfer service or buyback will be available. A holding may need to be kept indefinitely.
03. Returns and dividends are uncertain.
No fixed return, interest payment, dividend or exit is promised by equity ownership. A company may reinvest any profits, be unable to distribute funds or never become profitable. Past results, forecasts and future ambitions do not establish future performance.
04. Your ownership may be diluted.
Later share issues, options or conversion of other instruments can reduce an investor's percentage holding. Additional investors may receive different or more favourable economic, voting or liquidation rights.
05. Valuations and projections can be wrong.
An offer price may be based on uncertain assumptions and limited trading history. Valuation does not guarantee fair value or resale value. Business forecasts may not occur, and information can be incomplete or become outdated.
06. Rights depend on legal structure.
Direct ownership and an SPV interest are not necessarily equivalent. Voting, dividends, information, transfers, administration charges and distributions depend on the governing documents and law. An SPV can introduce administration, governance and counterparty risks.
07. Operational, fraud and cybersecurity risks remain.
Incorrect information, fraud, service-provider failures, cyber incidents and business disruption can affect a company or platform. Controls aim to reduce risks but do not remove them or guarantee recovery.
08. Escrow is not capital protection.
A permitted escrow arrangement can address specified pre-completion conditions. It does not guarantee the business's performance or protect capital after release. Any cancellation or refund right must be established by applicable law and the specific documents.
09. Cross-border, currency and tax matters can affect you.
Eligibility, taxes, exchange-rate exposure, transfer restrictions and legal protections may differ depending on residence and the investment structure. Do not assume that benefits or rules described by foreign platforms apply in Jordan.
10. Concentration can magnify losses.
Putting a large share of resources into one company, sector or class of high-risk investments can increase exposure to a common failure. Diversification does not remove risk. Consider your circumstances and seek independent advice where appropriate.
Before any future investment
Read the complete offer and legal documents, understand fees and conflicts, independently consider the business case, assess whether you can bear a total loss and obtain professional advice where appropriate. Never rely on a badge, marketing claim or an assumption of regulatory protection.
This warning is not an exhaustive list of risks and is not a recommendation. Any future offering must include risks specific to that business and its structure.
