Get in quick to take advantage of FC United loan stock offer

Interest in FC United’s loan stock scheme continues to increase with more people lining up to lend the club money and take advantage of the 30% Social Investment Tax Relief for which the scheme qualifies.

The FC United Loan Stock scheme, which was launched last month with the aim of raising £200,000 to help finance the building and fit out of the club’s new ground in Moston, north Manchester, is proving popular. There’s been a tremendous amount of interest and we have already secured over £125,000 with a further £54,000 expected shortly. With other expressions of interest totalling £55,000, the scheme seems certain to sell out well ahead of our February deadline.

FC United board member Adam Brown said: "We’re delighted by the response so far. If people are interested in the scheme, my message to them is that they should get in touch with the club as soon as possible to avoid missing out on this unique opportunity.???

The scheme has achieved advance assurance from HMRC that means that individuals who lend capital to the club under this scheme could qualify for 30% SITR tax relief on the amount they lend. The SITR scheme allows those taking part to get 30% of what they lend back against their tax liability. Based on a robust business plan, FC United loan stock will help to support the development of the club’s stadium and community facilities in an area of North Manchester that is in dire need of new facilities and enhance the work of FC United in the local area to deliver sporting, education, employment and environmental benefit.
