How did it work?
Shojin sourced and structured property investment opportunities, conducting due diligence on development projects before presenting them to investors. The platform offered both senior debt positions (with priority repayment) and equity positions (with participation in development profits).
What did they offer?
Shojin offered debt and equity investment opportunities in UK property developments, with a minimum investment of £5,000. Debt investments provided fixed returns secured against property assets, while equity investments offered participation in development profits with correspondingly higher risk.
The platform did not operate a secondary market. New investments are no longer being accepted following the appointment of administrators.
Who was it for?
Shojin was suited to investors who wanted direct exposure to property development through either debt or equity structures and who met the eligibility criteria for NMPI investments.
Both debt and equity positions carry material risk. Capital is at risk and investments are not FSCS-protected. Existing investors should refer to communications from the joint administrators for the most current information on their holdings.

General Information
Shojin was an FCA-authorised property investment platform founded in 2009 that offered both debt and equity positions in UK real estate developments. The platform focused on mid-market opportunities and had facilitated approximately £125 million in property investments prior to entering administration in March 2026.
Shojin's investments were classified as Non-Mainstream Pooled Investments (NMPIs), reflecting the higher-risk nature of the products offered. NMPI investments are not covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) for investment losses.
