Cash Flow Bonds is a Regulation A (Reg A+) debt offering designed to broaden access to private-market, asset-backed income opportunities. Eligible accredited and non-accredited investors can participate, subject to the offering terms and applicable investment limits.
The minimum purchase is $1,000 in bonds, plus a 1% investor processing fee. Depending on the selected lock-up period, the bonds currently offer fixed annual interest rates of 6%, 7%, or 8% with daily compounding. Before investing, review the complete terms, fees, and risks on the Cash Flow Bonds website and in the SEC-qualified offering circular.
What Are Cash Flow Bonds?
Cash Flow Bonds are debt securities issued through a Tier 2 Regulation A offering. Regulation A allows qualified offerings to raise capital from both accredited and non-accredited investors. It can therefore provide access to private investments for people who do not meet the accredited investor requirements used by many Regulation D offerings.
The Securities and Exchange Commission qualified the offering statement. However, SEC qualification is not an approval, endorsement, or finding that the investment is suitable for any investor. The offering circular remains the controlling source for the terms and risk disclosures.
Non-accredited investors are generally subject to limits based on annual income or net worth. Different rules apply to accredited investors and certain entities. Each prospective investor should confirm eligibility and review the applicable limitations before subscribing.
Cash Flow Bonds Terms and Interest Rates
The offering currently provides three lock-up choices. A longer commitment carries a higher contractual interest rate:
- One-year lock-up: 6% annual interest
- Two-year lock-up: 7% annual interest
- Three-year lock-up: 8% annual interest
These are fixed contractual rates for the selected bond term. They do not change with daily stock-market movements or Federal Reserve rate decisions. Still, a fixed rate does not eliminate issuer, credit, liquidity, or principal-loss risk.
How Daily Compounding Works
Interest compounds daily, subject to the offering terms. In simple terms, accrued interest is added to the balance used for future interest calculations. The effect is modest over shorter periods and becomes more noticeable over longer periods.
Compounding does not guarantee a return or protect principal. The issuer must remain able to meet its obligations, and investors should evaluate the full risk profile rather than the stated rate alone.
Minimum Investment and Investor Eligibility
The minimum investment is $1,000 in bonds. The company also charges a 1% investor processing fee, bringing the minimum initial payment to $1,010. This lower entry point may appeal to investors who want to begin with a smaller allocation than many traditional private offerings require.
Cash Flow Bonds may be available to eligible accredited and non-accredited investors. However, availability does not mean the investment is appropriate for everyone. Investors should consider their time horizon, liquidity needs, portfolio concentration, and ability to absorb a loss.
How the Capital May Be Deployed
The strategy focuses on asset-backed opportunities, including short-duration notes and loans. Depending on the opportunity set and the offering documents, capital may support real estate-secured loans, business-purpose loans, bridge financing, and other lending strategies backed by identifiable collateral.
Collateral can provide a potential recovery source if a borrower defaults. Nevertheless, it does not remove risk. Collateral values may decline, liens may be challenged, and legal or servicing costs can delay or reduce recoveries. Investors are purchasing obligations of the issuer rather than direct ownership of any individual loan or property.
Important Risks and Liquidity Considerations
Cash Flow Bonds are private-market securities and involve a high degree of risk. They are not bank deposits, are not FDIC insured, and may result in the loss of some or all invested principal.
No public trading market currently exists or is expected to develop for the bonds. Investors should plan around the selected lock-up period and should not rely on being able to sell their position when cash is needed. Other material risks include borrower defaults, issuer credit risk, concentration risk, changes in collateral values, and delays in deploying offering proceeds.
Because the interest rate is fixed, investors also will not receive a higher contractual rate if comparable market rates rise. Conversely, the stated rate does not fluctuate downward solely because market rates fall. The offering circular explains these and other risks in greater detail.
Who Might Consider a Reg A+ Bond Offering?
A Reg A+ bond may be worth researching if you:
- Want to study an income-focused alternative to public-market investments.
- Can commit capital for a one-, two-, or three-year lock-up period.
- Understand that a fixed interest rate does not guarantee repayment.
- Can tolerate illiquidity and the possible loss of principal.
- Want a lower entry point than many traditional private placements require.
The offering may be unsuitable if you expect to need the funds during the lock-up period, require FDIC insurance, or cannot tolerate private-credit risk. It also should not replace a diversified emergency reserve.
