The Duchy Fish Quota Company Bond

• This is a legally binding agreement between your company and the Duchy Fish Quota Company.
• The amount of money lent to Duchy Fish Quota Company will be held as a Duchy Fish Quota Company Bond. This will be a non-interest bearing loan and a certificate issued upon receipt. Our solicitor has approved the details of the loan.
• The amount lent is variable depending on your company size and level of input. We will be happy to discuss your company’s individual requirements at a face-to-face meeting at your convenience.
• We ask that the Bond is held for a minimum of five years after which time, and should you require it back, the money can be returned.
• We ask that you give 12 months notice if you need the money returned as fish quota is leased on an annual basis 1 January to 31 December.
• In order to return your investment we will need to liquidise the assets from the fish quota.
• If you do not require it back, the money will continue to be reinvested to buy more fish quota in perpetuity.
• If the need for the Duchy Fish Quota Company to buy quota to lease to Cornish fishermen ceases, the amount of the loan will be returned to each contributor and the Duchy Fish Quota Company dissolved.
