Success stories from our clients
-
★★★★★
Syndicating rural enterprises gives you the benefits of owning the business outright, without the constraints of day-to-day management. It also reduces risk because you can divide your available capital between locations and enterprises, without losing optimum scale. Investing in a syndicated property is a team sport.

★★★★★
BWB’s model is ideal for those wanting involvement in the asset without the day-to-day responsibility. Their partners are co-owners with top industry expertise, giving us great confidence. Annual farm visits with managers and BWB specialists offer valuable insights into current trends. We’re now owners in two farms and couldn’t be happier. The collective strength enables investments beyond individual reach.
