Welcome to our offer

Dear Reader,
We are delighted to welcome you to The Bushido Impact CIC (Bushido) a
New Age in Philanthropy. Bushido has been created to change the paradigm
in philanthropy, through shifting attitudes as to the way funding of charitable
and social causes is perceived and carried out.
Bushido is part of a collective of social enterprises that have come together to
address the growing demand for sustainable Community, Social and Impact
Investing (CSI) at a time when global issues like climate change, pandemic
recovery and a cost-of-living crisis are impacting on all of us. We are facing
unprecedented challenges in the public and private sectors and everincreasing demands on our social services, and the voluntary sector.
With the financial help and guidance of our founder Jon Bowles and working
together the founding team have developed a simple but highly innovative
community, social & impact investment strategy and business model, to
deliver competitive financial returns to investors along side sustainable, positive
community, social impact investments that have measurable outcomes.
We are launching an initial series of Social Impact Bonds (Bonds), designed
to provide an innovative form of Philanthropic “giving” that provides a new
means to support “good causes” for those that cannot afford to donate, or
prefer an alternative to support the same objective without sacrifice, whilst
enhancing the effectiveness of donations for those that can. This will enable
access to true philanthropic opportunities to more people no matter their level
of participation.
Central to why Bushido was created is our desire to share the “feel good
factor” that doing good brings. We want everyone to benefit and enjoy from
transparent investing in opportunities that do-good works and effect change
in a way that we can all see and all benefit from.
By reducing waste, and friction in “the system”, we generate savings that are
then available to be given back to validated people and communities to do
with as they see fit. They can choose to roll this back into good works for the
common good or use it to improve their own circumstances.
Please feel free to explore our offer, ask any questions you may bout it, and
the underlying programs we look to support. We want you to understand
the why, what, and how of our proposal, and importantly how your input,
no matter what, will help make a difference to others and most importantly
yourself. We hope you will like what you see, and if you do, we will invite you
to start creating your own legacy by becoming a New Age Philanthropist and
be part of a movement that makes a difference.
Thank you for your time and interest.

• The Company will own and hold security interests in its own name to
back any loans or investments it makes and will further own rights and
entitlements to revenues from underlying loans, investments and assets

the only, so the Bonds themselves are not secured.
As the Bonds are unsecured and not readily realisable, they should be
regarded as higher risk investments. You should not make an investment
decision based on this Brochure alone, please ensure you are aware of the
Terms of the Offer paying particular attention to the risks described on pages
12 to 16 and if you are in any doubt of the suitability or appropriateness
of this investment you are strongly advised to seek the advice of an FCAauthorised financial adviser or an appropriately qualified professional.

specifically described in the Application Form.
Bonds will be offered monthly until the initial funding limit of £1,250,000 in

The Directors reserve the right to reject any application in whole or part at
their absolute discretion, and to close the offer at any time.
Cooling Off Period
As an investor we want you to be sure of your investment and we will
therefore provide you with a 14-day ‘cooling-off period’ from the date of your
Bond order is received, during which time you are able to withdraw your
investment with out penalty.
Investment Strike Dates
The Bond Strike dates are set as the 28th of each calendar month. The 14-
day cooling off period means to have an issue date of the 28th of a month,
the completed order form and cleared funds need to be submitted to the
Company by no later than the 14th of that month. If the Order is received
after the 14th of the month, funds will not be allocated to the Bonds until the
28th of the following month.
