Land Without Capital is Wasted Potential

You have prime land in Abuja or Lagos. You have the vision for a profitable development. But traditional banks won't fund your project, or they demand impossible collateral. It's not your fault—bank risk models aren't built for agile real estate developers.

JV Structures We Offer

Flexible partnership models tailored to your land value, project scope, and development timeline.

Land-for-Equity / Unit Sharing

The most common JV model in Nigeria. You contribute titled land; we bring development capital and expertise. Final units are split based on agreed valuation.

  • Typical splits: 40:60, 50:50, or 30:70
  • Based on land value vs construction cost
  • Clear allocation of finished units

Profit Sharing Hybrid

Combination of unit allocation and cash profit share after sales. Ideal for commercial developments where unit sales generate immediate returns.

  • Partial unit allocation + cash distribution
  • Preferred returns before profit split
  • Transparent accounting & reporting
RECOMMENDED

Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV)

Formal company structure for larger projects. Clear governance, shareholder agreements, and exit strategies. Best for multi-phase developments.

  • Separate legal entity for the project
  • Clear governance & decision rights
  • Defined exit strategies & buyout clauses

Developer Success Story

CO

Chidi O.

Real Estate Developer, FCT Abuja

"Democrac structured a clear 55/45 JV on our Abuja residential project. The legal framework was transparent and protected all parties. We completed 12 luxury units in 18 months, and the unit allocation was exactly as agreed. Highly recommend for serious developers who want structured partnerships."
