Non-financial asset management · Cameroon

Your assets are in Cameroon.
You are not.

The problem

Distance turns ownership into hope

An inherited estate does not look after itself. From four thousand miles away, the things that quietly destroy value are exactly the things you cannot see.

Who is actually living there — and under what claim
Whether the rent was paid — or only promised
Whether the farm is worked — or worked by someone else
Whether the boundary moved — a metre a season is invisible on one visit
Whether the roof failed — before the ceiling does
Whether the title is still clean — and still in the right name
Whether the tax was paid — penalties compound quietly
What any of it is worth — today, not in 2019

What we do

Eight things, in order

We are not a listings website and not a caretaker with a phone. We are the operating arm for your physical estate, and the sequence below is the whole engagement.

DISCOVER
We identify and document every asset in the estate, including the ones the family forgot.
MAP
We geolocate every property and have every land boundary surveyed and drawn.
VERIFY
We physically inspect and record actual condition, with evidence you can audit.
PROTECT
Security, maintenance, insurance, documents and the tax calendar.
OPERATE
Tenants, hotels, apartments, farms, vehicles and facilities, day to day.
OPTIMISE
We find the utilisation and yield the estate is not currently getting.
REPORT
Transparent, evidenced reporting on a published cadence you can hold us to.
CONTROL
You approve the decisions that matter, from anywhere, before money moves.

How you check us

Anyone can promise. These are mechanisms.

Every manager says they are trustworthy. What follows is how you verify it without flying, and what we will put in the mandate.

01 — PROVENANCE

A photograph is not evidence. Ours is.

Every image our officers capture is stamped by the device with the time, the coordinates, the accuracy, the handset and the officer, then hashed. Change any one of those afterwards and the hash no longer matches. You can verify it yourself, and so can your lawyer.

02 — CUSTODY

We never hold your money.

Rent lands in a segregated account in your name. We hold instruction rights, not the balance. Three different people are required to release a payment, and a fourth — you — above a threshold you set. Reconciled against bank and mobile money every working day.

03 — BOUNDARIES

Four sources, or it is not verified.

The title extract, the surveyed beacons, the satellite record and the officer standing on the ground. Each is individually corruptible or stale, so we call a boundary verified only when all four agree — and any disagreement opens a case with a seventy-two hour clock.

04 — HONESTY

We publish what we cannot do.

You will not get a live video feed of your farm. You get a satellite pass every five days, a ground patrol every month, and an alert the moment either disagrees with your boundary. Every signal we carry has a published freshness, in writing, in the mandate.

What we manage

Five asset classes, one register

They fail in completely different ways, so they are watched in completely different ways — but they live in a single register, with a single statement and a single point of contact.

ClassWhat destroys the valueHow we watch it
Houses & apartmentsOccupation that hardens into a claim, arrears, deferred repairs, a title still in the deceased's nameMonthly geotagged walk, arrears ladder, written licence for every occupant, succession tracked to completion
Land & farmsBoundary creep, encroachment, unauthorised cultivation or extraction, adverse possessionSatellite change detection every five days, surveyed beacons, ground patrol, drone survey twice yearly
HotelsUnrecorded cash room-nights, pilferage, plant failure in season, a lapsed licenceProperty and point-of-sale systems as the only revenue channels, lock audit against folio, plant telemetry
Serviced apartmentsOff-book bookings, inventory walking out, rate mismatch across channelsChannel manager, per-booking door codes, photographed inventory before and after every stay
Vehicles & plantPrivate use, fuel siphoning, expired papers and impound, uninsured accidentTracker and geofence, fuel reconciliation, document expiry alerts at sixty, thirty and seven days

The platform

Look at it before you trust us with anything

Every claim on this page is visible in a working system. It is open — no login, nothing to install. Walk through it and see whether the evidence stands up.

Live demonstration · illustrative client

An inherited estate, fully instrumented

A worked example: seventeen assets across eight locations in Cameroon, held by an owner in New York. Switch between the owner's view and the managing team's view in the top bar.

Open the platform ›
  • Try to approve a payment as the wrong person — the system refuses and tells you why
  • Verify an evidence photograph — the hash is recomputed in front of you
  • Open a disputed boundary — three sources agree, the satellite does not
  • Check a health score — every number expands to show its own arithmetic
  • Open any coordinate — it becomes live satellite imagery of that plot

Getting started

Ninety days from mandate to control

Nothing is operated until it is understood. The first two phases are about establishing what you actually own and what condition it is in — before anyone collects a franc on your behalf.

WEEKS 1–2

Mandate

Scope and limits agreed in writing, counsel and your accountant appointed, the asset list assembled from the family, the segregated account opened. You receive an engagement charter naming the team, the thresholds and your termination rights.

WEEKS 3–7

Title & boundary

A search on every parcel, succession established and mutation begun where the title still names the deceased, a licensed surveyor on the disputed lines, an occupancy audit of who is physically present. You receive a dossier with a legal status and a confidence grade per asset.

WEEKS 5–10

Instrumentation

The register built to component level, everything tagged and photographed, trackers and meters fitted, three years of satellite history backfilled for every parcel. Your portal goes live with a complete opening position.

WEEKS 9–12

Operate

Tenancies re-papered at market, arrears pursued, short-let listings and rate strategy, hotel nightly close enforced, the crop plan agreed, tax filings brought current. You receive your first full monthly statement with an evidence pack.

Tell us what you own. We will tell you what it needs.

A first conversation costs nothing and commits you to nothing. If your estate is smaller than a full mandate justifies, say so — our custody watch tier exists for exactly that.
