We’re preparing for our first institutional equity raise — and we’re doing it differently.

Upkeep Handyman Property Holdings & Management Pty Ltd (Reg No. 2025/720564/07) is structured for clarity, control, and segregation:

✅ Dual-vehicle model:
– OpCo (operating subsidiaries: property, data, va**ng)
– PropCo (investor-controlled real estate; 80% beneficial ownership)

✅ Capital raise: USD 4–6M (ZAR 68.4–102.6M @17.1) — operations only. Property acquisition is fully separated and investor-approved.

✅ Founder alignment: Zero salary for 5 years. 6% stipend only after 80% investor profit distribution (Year 5+).

✅ Governance: Investor veto on spend >ZAR 5,000, dual signatories on Investor Trust, physical/witnessed e-signatures, UNCITRAL arbitration (Johannesburg).

✅ Reporting: Quarterly financials in ZAR & USD, with FX sensitivity scenarios.

We’re now engaging with qualified family offices, REITs, and DFIs who value structural integrity, direct asset ownership, and enforceable investor rights.

If this aligns with your mandate — and you meet our due diligence requirements (license, audited financials or bank confirmation, transaction history, NDA) — I welcome a direct message or email:

Confidential. Not an offer of securities.

Why Upkeep Handyman Property Holdings & Management (Pty) Ltd Is Not a Scam — Verified, Transparent, and Investor-First

By Marthinus D Jacobs, Founder & CEO | Ocean View, Cape Town

Published on LinkedIn — October 2025

There’s been a disturbing rise in investment scams across South Africa — and globally. As a result, any new business asking for capital is — rightly — met with skepticism. This is healthy. It’s how serious investors protect themselves.

At Upkeep Handyman Property Holdings & Management (Pty) Ltd, we welcome that skepticism — because legitimacy is not claimed. It’s verified.

This article is not marketing fluff. It’s a concise, evidence-backed response to questions we’ve received — especially from prospective investors — about whether our company is real, registered, and trustworthy.
We’ll walk you through three pillars of proof:

1️⃣ Legal legitimacy (CIPC-verified, real company, real founder)

2️⃣ Operational transparency (how your money is used — and who controls it)

3️⃣ Our ironclad no-advance-payment policy — backed by contract, not just words.
Let’s begin.

✅ 1. We Are a Legally Registered, CIPC-Verified Company — Not a Shell or Front
On 11 September 2025, Upkeep Handyman Property Holdings & Management (Pty) Ltd was officially registered with the Companies and Intellectual Property Commission (CIPC) — South Africa’s statutory regulator for businesses.

Registration Number: 2025/720564/07

Status: In Business (as of CIPC records)

Legal Form: Private Company (Pty Ltd) — meaning limited liability,
governed by the Companies Act, 2008

Registered Address: 8 Hercules Way, Ocean View, Cape Town, 7975

Director & Founder: Marthinus David Jacobs (ID: 760527********)

You can verify this yourself, in ZAR 5,000 on a single item
Sign a contract > ZAR 20,000 or > 12 months
Change the business plan or issue new shares

You retain real veto power — not just “advisory” rights.

🔹 Quarterly unaudited + annual audited financials are mandatory — in USD and ZAR — with a fixed exchange rate (1 USD = 18 ZAR) and sensitivity analysis for rate fluctuations (±15–22 ZAR/USD scenarios).

This is institutional-grade transparency — not “trust us” handshakes.

✅ 3. Banking Is Real — and Traceable

We don’t accept cash, crypto, or “off-record” transfers.
All funds flow through formal banking — and we’re proud to share proof.

Our Nedbank business account (Account: 1309592985, registered under Mnr Marthinus David Jacobs) is active and in good standing with South Africa’s second-largest bank — a Tier 1, NCR-registered financial institution.
The October 2025 statement (attached for transparency) shows:

Routine linkage & service fees
Zero irregular inflows or outflows
A transparent transaction history

No secret accounts. No third-party intermediaries. Just clean, auditable banking — because your capital deserves nothing less.

Why This Matters — Especially Now

South Africa’s property and tech sectors hold immense potential — but they also attract bad actors. That’s why we go beyond compliance:

📜 All notices require written delivery (email with read receipt, registered post, or courier)

✍️ All amendments require physical, wet-ink signatures — no electronic signatures

⚖️ Disputes are resolved via UNCITRAL arbitration in Johannesburg / Cape Town — enforceable globally under the New York Convention

🛡️ All data handling complies with POPIA, with a formal Data Processing Addendum in the agreement

We don’t just say we’re serious. We engineer seriousness into every process.

Final Word:

We Earn Trust — Not Demand It
To every investor, client, and LinkedIn connection reading this:
We understand your caution. We respect your due diligence. We welcome your questions.
Upkeep is not a “get-rich-quick” scheme. It’s a long-term partnership — built on law, logic, and mutual accountability.
If you’re considering an investment in property, data infrastructure, or SME growth in South Africa — and you want a partner who puts your control first — we’re ready to engage.
