London Capital & Finance - Going Round in Circles?

By J Drew -
When looking at the accounts for London Capital & Finance your head starts spinning as the whole setup goes round in circles. The situation with one of the companies called CV Resorts Ltd that borrowed money from LCF is a good example.

CV Resorts Ltd borrowed money from LCF but also borrowed from another company run by common directors called Cape Verde Support Ltd.

The charge for the loan agreement between CV Resorts Ltd and Cape Verde Support Ltd makes curious reading. A familiar name for those looking at LCF, Simon Hume-Kendall signed the loan agreement on behalf of CV Resorts Ltd, his opposite number signing on behalf of Cape Verde Support Ltd was none other than Simon Hume-Kendall so the same person was signing the contract for the lender and the borrower!


At least the witness Robert Mannering Sedgwick didn't have far to travel as all the companies were based in the same office address as him at Church Road, Tunbridge Wells, Kent. Sedgwick was part of Buss Murton Law LLP who have the offices at Church Road, Tunbridge Wells, Kent

The loan agreement to CV Resorts Ltd from Cape Verde Support Ltd was made on 29th April 2017. Communication doesn't seem to have been very good in the offices at Church Road, Tunbridge Wells or the directors were quite forgetful as shortly afterwards on 12th May 2017 other directors of CV Resorts Ltd decided to take out a loan from London Capital & Finance pledging the same assets as security that had already been assigned to Cape Verde Support Ltd for their loan on 29th April

 What can London Capital & Finance bondholders expect back if all the assets have previously been pledged to another company?

    Buss Murton Law solicitors, mentioned above in the text, have a history with directors of failed companies including a dubious past carbon credit scheme which misappropriated investor monies and the recently liquidated London Capital and Finance Ltd (LCF) closed down by the FCA. One of the managing partners of Buss Murton, Robert Mannering Sedgwick, was recently suspended for a year in 2018 by the Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal (SDT) for past involvement with a carbon credit scheme that misappropriated investor monies. This was the same managing solicitor who was the trustee for the FCA closed LCF, the CEO (Andy Thomson) and the borrowing companies of which misappropriated LCF bondholders monies. The suspended solicitor, Robert Mannering Sedgwick, shared many directorships of other companies with Andy Thomson over the years. Now according to the latest LCF liquidator's update Buss Murton Law solicitors are refusing to provide information to help the liquidators of LCF to recover lost bondholder monies. Why would BML solicitors not help the legally appointed liquidator of LCF to recover misappropriated bondholder investment money?

Concept Capital Group Review - Is it Genuine or a Scam?

By J Drew -

Investment in Concept Capital Group is being promoted on Facebook and Rightmove to solicit investment in their static caravans for rental to social housing tenants via Social Park Housing. Concept Capital Group are claiming to guarantee rental income of 10% but as investors in London Capital & Finance are fully aware, this sort of guarantee is fully dependent on the company making it still being in business. If the company fails for any reason then there will be no-one to support the guarantee or to return money to investors.  Update November 2024: It's reported on MSE that investors are struggling to get repayments of their investments with various excuses. If the company fails your guarantee disappears. Concept Capital Group have only existed since 2019 so have no track record of honouring investment guarantees over the long term.

Where are the People and assets behind LCF & their agent Surge Financial? London Capital & Finance owned a helicopter purchased by Andy Thomson. LCF helicopter seized This has now been seized and is being held at Shoreham Airport in Sussex. According to the administrators one of the loans of £12 million was to a stables called Home Farm originally run by Spencer Golding but now owned by Sean Cubitt who was unable to provide any paperwork for the purchase of the company or for any of the horses. There were originally 85 horses apparently with a combined values of £15 million according to the owners but when the administrators visited they could only see 35 that had a value of less than £10,000 each. Sean Cubitt claimed that there was no bank account for the company that runs Home Farm. So a company with no bank account was loaned £12 million by LCF. Yet another example of the lies they told to investors about their lending process. We understand that the val...
