  • Investment Opportunity Consultancy: Identifying and evaluating viable investment prospects in both the UK and Cambodia.

United Kingdom

Property: Investing in buy-to-flip and buy-to-let (long and short stay accommodation). Rental letting in the UK remains one of the most successful businesses in the UK. Lighthouse, a hospitality industry data and consultancy company that tracks vacation rental listings worldwide, reported that there were around 451,000 available short-term rental properties in February 2024 in Great Britain, an increase of 31% on February 2019. Of these properties, around 370,000 were in England.[1] The company will assess and buy a property and convert it into a short-term accommodation as a pilot project with a potential scale up the following years.

Small Business & Franchise: Investing in a franchise business or small shops/café in the UK. Small business in the UK remains healthy although the evidence points to a continued decline in some important growth-related behaviours amongst small businesses, deepening pre­existing downward trends.[2] The company will evaluate the best option on the prospect of investing in small business in the UK, particularly the British Franchise Association Approved franchise[3] such as café, food truck or cleaning business.

Cambodia

Property: Investing in land and affordable housing project. Evaluating viable investment prospect in Digital Nomad DAO and Network State Project in Cambodia.

Affordable Housing Project: A viable affordable housing project in Cambodia would be the development of mid-income residential communities in emerging peri-urban districts of Phnom Penh, such as Sen Sok, Kandal, and areas connected to the new Techo International Airport corridor, targeting households earning US$500–1,200 per month with home prices in the US$20,000–$40,000 range. This segment remains structurally underserved despite strong demand from Cambodia’s growing urban middle class. Cambodia’s urban population is projected to increase from 24.2% today to 30.6% by 2030, creating sustained housing demand as rural-to-urban migration accelerates.[4]

Available data further shows that while the luxury condominium sector faces oversupply, affordable and mid-range housing continues to record strong absorption rates, with some projects reaching over 90% subscription pre-launch, demonstrating clear unmet demand.[5] This makes affordable housing commercially viable because it aligns with domestic purchasing power, benefits from infrastructure expansion, offers resilient rental yields of 5–7%, and is less exposed to speculative foreign capital volatility than Cambodia’s high-end property market.[6]

Potential Digital Nomad Project: A Digital Nomad Project for Cambodia would be the creation of “Angkor Digital & Cultural Hub”—a hybrid digital nomad village and network-state incubator in Siem Reap combining co-living residences, coworking hubs, start-up accelerators, legal incorporation support, tokenised membership governance, and cultural immersion programming for global remote entrepreneurs. Siem Reap is a stronger choice than Phnom Penh because it offers substantially lower operating costs, a slower and more creative lifestyle attractive to location-independent professionals, international visibility through the UNESCO-listed Angkor complex, and improving connectivity through the new Siem Reap–Angkor International Airport and ongoing 5G digital infrastructure upgrades.[7] The province already attracts nearly one million international visitors annually, providing a built-in funnel of globally mobile professionals who can convert from short-term tourists into long-stay contributors.[8] The project would attract foreign investors by offering fractional real-estate participation, governance tokens tied to ecosystem growth, residency-linked investment privileges, startup venture participation rights, and ESG-aligned branding around sustainable heritage-tech innovation. This model is commercially viable because it converts Cambodia’s low-cost advantage into a globally differentiated “live-work-build” ecosystem while capturing rising digital nomad
