The purpose of the Land Unit is to make an impact on society and the environment by allowing us to purchase and manage land sustainably as well as increasing value for its holders, thereby changing the basic nature of money and work in society. (see our Mandate for more details).

Simply said, a company goes out of business when costs are higher than income and assets are less than zero.

Most of the new land we buy generates 2% per year income. That means £5,000,000 of land on average generates £100,000 income.

At the time of writing, the costs for basic maintenance of our ecosystem are under £100,000 per year and we own land assets over £5,000,000.

In addition, we receive a small fee for each transaction and any discount we negotiate when buying land.

On the next £5,000,000 of land, we will earn around 2%, which is £100,000. This more than covers maintaining our ecosystem at a basic level.

However, even if we do nothing at all, receive zero income and sell no Land Units for 50 years, we would not go out of business since our assets cover the costs - £100,000* 50 = £5,000,000.

Land Units are sold efficiently by the ecosystem on your behalf when you enter a sales order on the Buy/Sell/Transfer page. It is simpler and more secure than other existing systems because:

1. Everyone joining our ecosystem who buys Land Units, buys the same Land Units. This is different than other systems, such as buying and selling shoes or shares or cars, where there are many options. Every single buyer wants what you are selling.
2. You are not competing against other sellers, your sale order is put in and it goes out when buyers buy units, in a fair manner. First in, First out.
3. Everything is made very simple to achieve your goals. The only variable factor is time.

No. A Land Unit represents a unit value (like a dollar), not a piece of land. Land Unit holders do not own land, use the land or have a right to land which we buy with Land Unit sales. The land is bought to be held and managed sustainably thereby improving the environment and society.

Our main focus is on developing the ecosystem and our shared future, however, we charge our own small fee (around £/€/$ 1) for each purchase and sale of units. Credit card companies, payment providers, banks and others may charge additional fees, but we do not receive that. We are also able to earn around 2% on the land we hold and when we buy land, any discount we receive on the land purchase price compared to the land valuation covers costs and development.
