Strategy

In the year to January 2020, Just Develop It Group continued its strategic focus on the core areas of the group, meaning Technology, Property and Finance, as well as ensuring all their other group companies, subsidiaries and associates receive the relevant level of attention and assistance.

They continued the strategy of aiming towards reducing risk through the realization of parts of their investment in technology, consolidating the group structure where required and further simplified during the year as the Finance arm operated as a standalone group under the Just Develop It umbrella. The property portfolios also now operate under one single entity banking partner.

Yields on their property portfolio remain strong, however, one of the principal risks and uncertainties that face the group is with the property assets being backed by LIBOR linked secure bank loans, which face the risk of possible fluctuations.

Ambitions

Opportunities to improve efficiencies, increase staff levels and reduce costs remain a focus throughout the group and in particular the property portfolio, which is reliant on lower yields compared to the rest of the group activity.

Looking forward, they will continue to expand their already diverse portfolio of companies and investments with the primary focus being technology, property and its ever growing footprint in financial services.

Recommends

Positive Outlook

I have been working at Just Develop It full-time for more than 10 years

Pros

“Small teams make it easy to be recognised, which enables hard working team members to be promoted to higher roles internally within the group companies. There is a great office environment with a work hard, play hard backing. I would recommend this company to anyone who is ambitious, that is willing to go the extra mile to grow with the company.”

Cons

“The free lunches don’t help with the waist line!”

• Personalised packages to suit clients’ needs
• Transparent Lending – Unlike other lenders they don’t charge hidden fees and they definitely do not hide behind the small print. They’re upfront and transparent, about their fees.
• Low Fees – Their loans start at 0.9% and increase depending on the loan amount and the quality of collateral. So long as they reach the minimum term they don’t charge any early termination fees.
• Over 25 Years of Experience – With over 25 years experience in finance and property, their team has the experience they need. By talking directly to the decision-makers clients get what they need when they need it.
• Efficient & Experienced – They pride their selves on making decisions to finance developments quickly and efficiently, and that’s the way they work throughout the entire customer lifecycle.
