Own2gether

How it works

Two ways to invest.
One platform.

Own2gether offers two distinct investment products: Listings for co-owning existing properties via a dedicated company, and Deals for co-investing in development projects with a profit-sharing structure.

Listings

Co-own property. No fund. No fees in cash.

Pool capital with other buyers to acquire Nigerian property. Each co-owner holds registered shares in a dedicated company — proportional to what they put in.

The six steps

  1. 01

    Browse open raises

    Explore properties currently seeking co-owners. Each listing shows the total raise target, how much has been committed so far, and what equity stake your contribution would represent.

  2. 02

    Commit an amount

    Enter the amount you want to commit in Nigerian naira (NGN). No money moves at this stage — a commitment is a non-binding expression of intent. You can join a connection group with others to pool your ranking power.

  3. 03

    Verify your identity

    Upload a government-issued ID (passport, driver's licence, or national ID card) plus a proof of address. Our team reviews every document manually — no automated checks. Reviews are completed within 3 business days.

  4. 04

    Allocation is confirmed

    Once the raise closes, Own2gether runs the allocation algorithm. Commitments are ranked largest-first. You receive written confirmation of your exact equity stake and the precise amount due — which may differ from your original commitment if the pool is oversubscribed.

  5. 05

    Transfer payment

    You have 10 days from allocation confirmation to complete a bank transfer directly to the seller's account. Payment details arrive by email. No card payments, no escrow, no intermediaries. Late payment may result in forfeiture of your allocation.

  6. 06

    Become a co-owner

    Once all allocated co-owners have paid, Own2gether initiates the formation of a dedicated property company. You are registered as a shareholder with a stake proportional to your contribution. Company formation typically takes several weeks.

Ownership structure

Every property is held by its own dedicated company formed after full payment clears.

Dedicated property company (SPV)
e.g. Lekki Phase 1 Ltd
Holds title to the property
97.5%
Co-owner pool
Shared proportionally among all co-owners. Each contributor's equity = (their amount ÷ total raise) × 97.5%.
Co-owner ACo-owner BCo-owner C
2.5%
Own2gether stake
Taken in lieu of management and acquisition fees — funded proportionally from all contributors. No cash fees are ever charged.
Own2gether

If the co-owner pool is not fully subscribed at closing, Own2gether may acquire the residual stake, increasing its holding above 2.5%.

How allocation ranking works

When a raise closes, commitments compete for space in the 97.5% co-owner pool.

RankCommitmentEquity*Status
1₦40M39.0%In pool
2₦35M34.1%In pool
3₦15M14.6%In pool
4₦10M9.8%Partial
5₦5M4.9%Over cap
— allocation pool full — entries below this line are over cap —

Example only. Amounts are illustrative against a ₦100M total raise. In pool + Partial equity sums to 97.5% — the full co-owner pool. A commitment marked "Partial" receives a reduced stake proportional to the remaining pool capacity. * Equity % = (commitment ÷ total raise) × 97.5% — Own2gether's 2.5% management stake is already deducted.

Frequently asked questions — Listings

Is my commitment binding?
No. A commitment is a non-binding expression of intent. You are not obligated to pay until you receive a written allocation confirmation from Own2gether.
What if the raise is oversubscribed?
Commitments are ranked largest-first. If the total exceeds the co-owner pool (97.5% of the raise), smaller commitments may be partially or fully excluded. You will see your current rank in real time on the deal page.
Can I withdraw my commitment?
Yes, up to 3 times across your account. After the third withdrawal a 12-month lockout applies before you can withdraw again.
How is my equity percentage calculated?
Your equity stake = (your contribution ÷ total raise) × 97.5%. Co-owners collectively fund 100% of the raise and own 97.5% of the property company. Own2gether takes the remaining 2.5% as a management stake in lieu of fees. For example, a ₦10M commitment on a ₦100M raise gives you (10 ÷ 100) × 97.5 = 9.75% equity — not 10% — because Own2gether's 2.5% is funded proportionally by all contributors.
What currency is used?
All transactions are in Nigerian naira (NGN). USD and GBP figures shown on the platform are indicative approximations only.
How is the 2.5% Own2gether stake handled?
Own2gether receives 2.5% equity in the property company in place of management or acquisition fees. No cash fees are ever charged to co-owners.
Can I sell my stake after becoming a co-owner?
Yes — your shares in the property company are yours to sell. However, existing co-owners have the right of first refusal. Before selling to any external party, you must first offer your stake to the other co-owners in the same property company at your proposed price. Only if they decline can you proceed with an outside sale.
What happens if a payment window lapses?
If you do not transfer payment within 10 days of allocation confirmation, your allocation may be forfeited. Contact Own2gether immediately if you anticipate a delay.

Deals

Co-invest in development. Share the profit.

Deals are joint development investments — rehabilitation, ground-up builds, and off-plan purchases. You contribute capital, Own2gether manages the project, and profits are split 60% to investors and 40% to Own2gether on exit. There is no equity stake or company ownership.

The six steps

  1. 01

    Browse available deals

    Explore development deals — rehabilitation projects, ground-up builds, and off-plan purchases. Each deal shows the target raise, deal type, projected return, and estimated timeline.

  2. 02

    Express your commitment

    Submit your name, email, and intended investment amount. Minimum commitment is 15% of the deal's target raise — deals have a small, concentrated group of investors. No money moves at this stage.

  3. 03

    Allocation confirmed

    Own2gether reviews all commitments and confirms your allocation. You receive written confirmation of your slot, the exact amount due, and payment instructions by email.

  4. 04

    Transfer payment — full or in instalments

    Your allocation confirmation will specify whether payment must be made in full or can be spread across agreed instalments. Either way, all payments go directly to the project account by bank transfer — no card payments, no escrow. All amounts must be received before the project commences. Late or missed payments may forfeit your allocation.

  5. 05

    Project executes

    Construction or development proceeds. Own2gether acts as the technical partner managing the project. You receive milestone updates and progress reports throughout.

  6. 06

    Capital returned, profits distributed

    On project exit, all investors receive their capital back in full first. Net profit (proceeds minus total project cost) is then distributed: 60% to investors proportional to each person's share of the raise, and 40% to Own2gether as the deal and technical partner.

Profit structure

Capital is returned first. Net profit is then split between investors and Own2gether.

Every investor receives their original commitment back in full before any profit is distributed.

Returns are not guaranteed. Project costs and timelines may vary. You may lose some or all of your committed capital.

Example distribution

Illustrative only — based on a ₦100M raise with ₦40M net profit on exit.

InvestorContributedCapital returnedProfit share*
Investor A₦30M₦30M₦7.2M
Investor B₦25M₦25M₦6.0M
Investor C₦25M₦25M₦6.0M
Investor D₦20M₦20M₦4.8M
Own2gether₦16.0M

* Based on ₦40M net profit. Investor profit = (contribution ÷ ₦100M) × 60% × ₦40M. Own2gether profit = 40% × ₦40M = ₦16M. All figures illustrative.

Frequently asked questions — Deals

What is the minimum investment for a deal?
Each deal requires a minimum commitment of 15% of the target raise. This keeps the investor group small and concentrated — typically no more than 6 to 7 investors per deal. Larger commitments are welcome.
Is there an equity stake like listings?
No. Deals are a profit-sharing arrangement, not a company ownership structure. You do not receive shares in a property company. Instead, you contribute capital and receive your share of net profit on exit. Own2gether takes 40% of net profit as the deal originator and technical partner.
How is my profit calculated?
Your profit = (your contribution ÷ total raise) × 60% × net profit. Net profit is the difference between total sale or exit proceeds and the full project cost (acquisition, construction, fees). Capital is returned to all investors first, then net profit is split.
When do I get my capital back?
Your original capital is returned in full when the project exits (property is sold or refinanced). The profit split happens at the same time. There is no fixed date — returns depend on the project timeline.
Can I withdraw my deal commitment?
You can withdraw before allocation is confirmed. Once Own2gether confirms your slot and payment is made, capital is deployed into the project and cannot be withdrawn. Only invest funds you can commit for the full project duration.
What if the project is delayed or makes a loss?
Returns are not guaranteed. If the project takes longer than projected, your capital remains locked until exit. If the project makes a loss, your capital may be partially or fully lost. Own2gether's 40% share is also contingent on profit — if there is no profit, Own2gether receives nothing.
How many investors are in a deal?
With a 15% minimum per investor, a fully subscribed deal will have between 6 and 7 investors. In practice deals may close with fewer. Smaller groups allow for better communication and faster decision-making.
