2. Registered SIC codes — what we are authorised to do
AGHL is registered with the following Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) codes at Companies House. These define the scope of our current operating activities.
| SIC code | Description | What it covers for AGHL |
|---|---|---|
| 70100 | Activities of head offices | Strategic management; holding structure; head-office services to subsidiaries and group companies |
| 68100 | Buying and selling of own real estate | Own-account acquisition, development, holding and sale of real estate — the Cities & Real Estate pillar |

We intend to add further SIC codes (such as 01xxx for Agriculture and 41100 for Building Development) via Confirmation Statement when those activities formally commence. Adding a SIC code does not confer any regulatory permission — see Section 3.
3. What AGHL is not authorised to do
The following activities are outside our current authorisation. AGHL does not, and will not, carry on these activities without the appropriate permission or authorisation:
- Holding client funds (custodial escrow, e-money wallet). This requires FCA authorisation as a Payment Institution (API), Small Payment Institution (SPI), or Electronic Money Institution (EMI) under the Payment Services Regulations 2017 or Electronic Money Regulations 2011. AGHL does not hold client funds — see Section 4 for how payments work.
- Operating a regulated investment platform or collective investment scheme. Requires FCA Part 4A permission under FSMA 2000.
- Providing regulated financial advice. Requires FCA authorisation.
- Acting as a credit broker or offering consumer credit. Requires FCA Consumer Credit Act permission.
- Insurance distribution. Requires FCA Insurance Distribution Directive permission.
- Crypto-asset services. Requires FCA registration under the Money Laundering, Terrorist Financing and Transfer of Funds (Information on the Payer) Regulations 2017.
- Operating a matched-trading venue (MTF / OTF). Requires UK FCA market operator authorisation.
- Brokering real estate on behalf of others. Third-party real estate brokerage falls under HMRC’s TCSP anti-money-laundering supervision. AGHL only deals in property on its own account (SIC 68100).
If any Afrisovera service description gives the impression that AGHL is authorised to do any of the above, that impression is unintended and incorrect. Please report it to compliance@afrisovera.com.
4. How payments work on Afrisovera
All payment processing on Afrisovera is performed by Stripe Payments Europe, Ltd, which is authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority as an Electronic Money Institution.
FCA firm reference: 900665
Authorisation type: Electronic Money Institution (EMI)

AGHL operates as a platform connecting buyers and sellers. When you make a payment:
- Your money goes to Stripe — not to Afrisovera.
- Stripe holds the funds (as an FCA-authorised EMI) until the agreed conditions are met.
- Stripe releases the funds to the seller’s account.
- Afrisovera receives only its disclosed platform fee, deducted automatically by Stripe.
AGHL never has access to the principal funds. Refunds, chargebacks, and disputes are handled by Stripe under its regulated processes.
5. How we raise capital — investor subscription
AGHL may communicate investment opportunities to persons who qualify as sophisticated investors or high-net-worth individuals under the FCA Financial Promotion Order 2005 (Articles 48, 50 and 50A). These are exemptions from the financial promotion restriction in FSMA 2000 s.21, not a regulated authorisation.
What this means in practice:
- AGHL does not make public solicitations for investment to retail consumers.
- The “Express Interest” form collects contact details only; no investment details are shared until the individual completes a certification form.
- Subscription agreements are signed off-platform (e.g., via DocuSign or notarisation). Subscription payments are direct bank transfers to AGHL’s UK account — not via Stripe Connect, which is for commercial transactions.
- Shares are allotted and registered at Companies House via form SH01.
Nothing on the Afrisovera website constitutes a regulated investment recommendation or offer to the general public.
6. Agriculture & Manufacturing pillars
Agriculture and Manufacturing are planned future activities targeting Phase 2 (2027–2028). They are described on this website as forward-looking ambitions, not current operations. AGHL will add the relevant SIC codes via Confirmation Statement and comply with applicable sector regulation before commencing those activities.
7. Foundation activities
The Afrisovera Foundation is described as a planned community and educational initiative. We intend to incorporate it as a separate Community Interest Company (CIC) under the Companies (Audit, Investigations and Community Enterprise) Act 2004. Until incorporated, the Foundation is a programme of AGHL, not a separate legal entity. Grant-making and charitable activities by AGHL are limited to those permissible by its SIC codes and Articles of Association.
8. Data protection
AGHL is the data controller for personal data collected on afrisovera.com. We process data under the UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018. Stripe Payments Europe, Ltd is a data processor for payment data. See our Privacy Policy for full details.
