Project Flow

How
Projects
Work.

Every Tom Projects farmland project moves through the same six-stage process — from model selection through distribution. The flow is identical for Shared Ownership and Private Farmland, with structural differences noted at each stage.

From FirstConversationTo Distribution.

Stage By Stage
Stage 01 · Choose Model

Shared Ownership or Private Farmland

The choice depends on ticket size, control preference, and holding horizon. Our team walks you through the trade-offs before any documentation is exchanged.

SPV — from $25,500 (Türkiye) or $35,000 (Egypt)
Private Farmland — from $350,000 (Türkiye) or $420,000 (Egypt)
Decision is reversible until subscription — you can change models before signing
Stage 02 · Review Scale and Fit

Introductory Consultation

Geography, project size, timeline, and commercial terms are confirmed during an introductory consultation. Honest two-way conversation — if the fit isn't right, we say so.

No pressure, no sales pitch
Fit assessment from both sides
Stage 03 · Qualify and Document

Review and NDA

Review of objectives, capital source, and jurisdiction. A non-disclosure agreement is signed where deeper project materials — feasibility studies, agronomic reports, financial projections — are required.

Materials include feasibility and financial projections
Participant reviews at their own pace
Stage 04 · Subscribe and Deploy

Subscription and Escrow

Subscription agreement (SPV) or purchase and management agreement (Private Farmland). Capital deployed into an independent escrow account. Funds are released against verified development milestones.

Third-party escrow custody
Milestone-verified capital release
Full refund if minimum subscription is not met
Stage 05 · Develop and Operate

Land, Planting, and Infrastructure

Land preparation, planting, irrigation buildout, ongoing field management. Carried out by our in-country teams. Participants receive photo updates, expense ledgers, and agronomic reports throughout.

Development takes 12 to 24 months depending on project
Regular photo and expense updates
Field teams are permanent, not contracted
Stage 06 · Report and Distribute

Reporting and Yield Distribution

Quarterly operational dashboards, annual audited financials, post-harvest reports, and yield distributions per the governing documents.

How TheSPV Works.

Each Shared Ownership project sits inside its own legal entity. The entity owns the land and all project assets. Participants hold proportional shares in the entity.

This structure provides clear ownership without fragmented land title. It enables structured reporting, clean governance, and defined exit paths. Each SPV is formed under local law — Turkish company law for Türkiye projects, Egyptian Companies Law for Egypt projects.

ProtectedBy Structure.

Escrow + Milestones

Participant capital flows into an independent escrow account and is released only against verified development milestones.

If a project does not reach its minimum subscription threshold, capital is returned in full.

01

Participant

Capital enters the system from the participant's bank account. Direct transfer, documented by the escrow bank.

02

Independent Escrow

Third-party custody. Funds held by an independent institution — not by Tom Projects. Released only on verified trigger.

03

Milestone Verification

Each development stage — land preparation, irrigation, planting, establishment — is inspected and verified before the corresponding capital tranche is released.

04

Project Deployment

Released capital flows into project operations: infrastructure, saplings, labour, ongoing field management.

FAQ · Mechanics
Capital is held in an independent third-party escrow account from subscription until verified development milestones are met. If the project does not reach its minimum subscription threshold, capital is returned in full. Funds are never held by Tom Projects directly.
Agricultural risk cannot be eliminated. Weather events, pest pressure, or market disruption can affect output. In the event of material underperformance, participants receive full operational reporting and retain their proportional ownership in whatever asset and capital remain. Our operating agreement defines how operational decisions are made in distress scenarios.
Shared Ownership: SPV shares are transferable subject to the consent mechanisms in the SPV's constitutional documents. We maintain an internal secondary participant register to facilitate transfers, but no market-making commitment is made. Private Farmland: the land can be sold by the owner at any time, subject to the management agreement's early-termination terms.
For Shared Ownership, the SPV (project entity) holds title. Participants hold shares in the SPV, not direct title in the land. For Private Farmland, title is held directly in the participant's name. In both cases, the title is registered with the relevant land registry in the country where the project is located.
Monthly expense ledgers and agronomic updates, quarterly operational reports, semi-annual financial statements, annual audited financials, post-harvest reports, and distribution notices when distributions are made. Photo updates run continuously throughout the year.
From initial inquiry to signed subscription typically 2 to 6 weeks, depending on responsiveness and documentation review. From signature to first milestone-linked capital deployment: another 2 to 4 weeks. Full development of an orchard typically takes 12 to 24 months to complete establishment.
