MoveGenius is a digital onboarding tool to speed up the conveyancing process.

The mission of the company is to:

  1. take admin off estate agents' plates; and
  2. provide home buyers with more legal information upfront before they place an offer on a property.

The company's B2B SaaS product is a self-serve tool to enable faster onboarding for estate agents at the point of listing a property for sale.

Key Features include:

  • Digital ID and AML verification
  • Automated legal forms
  • Live dashboard for estate agents to track the progress of the sellers onboarding journey
  • Online webshop to purchase property legal searches and home seller protection insurance.

There is a large market opportunity with 21,000 estate agency branches in the UK and just over 1 million residential property transactions a year. We charge each estate agency branch on a subscription basis: £200 fixed fee per month + £10 per transaction per month.

RisksEdit

As with any investment, investing in MoveGenius carries a level of risk. Overall, based on the key risks highlighted below, the degree of risk associated with an investment in MoveGenius is higher than in a company that's trading on a public market.

Early-stage investmentEdit

MoveGenius is at one of the earliest stages of the business lifecycle, and the failure rate of companies at that stage is usually much higher than those at a later stage.

Illiquid investmentEdit

The number of transactions in shares of private companies is usually significantly lower than in public companies, typically resulting in it taking longer to sell shares in private companies at a price that is at least equal to the price that the shares were bought at. Accordingly, the MoveGenius investment opportunity is considered to be higher risk than more liquid companies.
