Investors receive shares/stocks of a business when you invest.  You become a shareholder of a company requesting investment.  

Returns as a shareholder are typically in one, or both, of two ways:

1.  Dividends: profits that are shared to shareholders

2.  Capital Gains:  profits (or loss) that a shareholder makes by selling the share/stocks he received at the initial investment.  

NOTE:  Investors should read all details about any dividend policies before investing to understand the investment-return philosophy of the founders of businesses before investing, to avoid the wrong expectations.  

There is a limit for retail investors, as stipulated by Thai law.  As we are an invite-only platform, and work mainly with accredited investors, those that have more experience in investing, there is no individual investment limit by an investor

We list all types of business on iLabInvest, that area allowed by the SEC.  We look for businesses with attractive products and services, backed by a good team.  Lately, the focus of our iLab, our incubator parent, is to look for business that also have a very strong social aspect, yet profit focused.  iLab is slowly building a creative model based on For-Profit Social Enterprises, and some with our proprietary Dynamic Ownership model.  You’ll slow see more investment opportunities that have these flavors embedded in them, though not all.  

You can definitely invite a friend to join iLabInvest.  They can sign-up on the platform and we will take a manual approach to contact, meet and find out more about your friend, to see if he/she fits our profile of investors we are interested in.   Again, we are an invite-only platform and really like to know who are community members are, for the benefit of other investors and entrepreneurs looking to raise funds for their projects/businesses.  

Our platform is of the highest quality technology you will find out there for equity investments.  As part of your experience, all businesses you have invested in, will be displayed in your Dashboard and all documents, updates, announcements, of these businesses will be updated on the platform.  For some types of investments, even financial analysis of the returns are viewable within your account on the platform.   Its so good, you’ll wish your existing investments outside of this platform was manageable like it was on the platform. 

Note:  Investing in a businesses on iLabInvest does not guarantee that you will get a return.  

You may, or you may also loose your money.  It is no different from investing for equity in any businesses anywhere.  If businesses you invest in does well and make a profit, then there is a good chance of you seeing a return on your investment, though there is no fixed period that can be guaranteed.  There are also innovative businesses that do not become highly profitable, but have a unique position in the market, via their product, service or first-to-market advantage, that some times provide a return to shareholders by being acquired.   These are all variables for you to carefully consider when deciding to invest in a business on iLabInvest or outside of it.  

The real estate developer will set up a separate company for each investment opportunity. The actual ownership company may vary from country to country (depending on local regulations), but the typical structure will be similar to owning shares in a single purpose company created just to own the underlying real estate.
