Green Pastures issues unsecured Loan Stock. Unsecured means that your money is not secured against any property (in the way that a mortgage is). Loan stock subscriptions are unsecured because securing properties against loan stock would interfere with CBS’ ability to obtain mortgages and bank finance. Furthermore, refinancing property every time investments matured would be impractical. Loan Stock is a vital ingredient in funding the expansion of CBS because we can obtain only about 65% of the cost of a property by way of bank loans. Without the loan stock the operation would stagnate, and we are always so grateful for the support that is received via the Loan Stock.

Loan Stock applicants must be at least 16 years of age. (see 1. of Loan Stock Terms and Conditions when you have accessed our Loan Stock Application form).
