Two investors shaking hands on a deal

For property, business & start-up investors in the UK

Find the partner,
not just the money.

Mella introduces you to investors near you who want the same things — the same kind of deal, a similar budget, the same appetite for risk — and shows you exactly why you match.

How it works

From sign-up to your first conversation.

  1. 1

    Build your investor profile

    Five short steps: what you invest in, what you can bring and the partner you’re after. Your capital only ever shows as a range.

  2. 2

    Discover investors nearby

    Search within 5, 10, 25 or 50 miles — or anywhere in the UK — ranked by compatibility. Or browse deals posted near you.

  3. 3

    Connect

    Tap Connect on anyone who fits. When they connect back, it’s a match and your private chat opens.

  4. 4

    Talk it through

    Message, call or video call inside Mella, and suggest a time to meet when you’re ready.

Deals

Opportunities, posted by people near you.

Got a project that needs a partner? Post it — a refurb, a business for sale, a start-up round — and investors nearby can tell you they’re interested. Browsing works the other way round.

Safety

A second pair of eyes on every conversation.

Messages that ask for money, crypto or upfront fees — or promise “guaranteed returns” — come with a safety tip. Reports and blocks reach our team, and repeat offenders are removed.

Just transfer the £5,000 deposit and I’ll sort the rest 👍
Never send money or share bank details with someone you’ve only met online. Use a solicitor and check the FCA register first.
Let’s do this through a solicitor.

Our ground rules

Mella introduces. You decide.

We’re here to help the right investors find each other. What happens next is between you — so we keep some firm lines.

Read about trust & safety

  • We never hold your money.

    No payments between members ever pass through Mella.

  • We never recommend investments.

    We’re not financial advisers. Always do your own checks and take independent advice.

  • We never show your exact location.

    Other members see roughly how far away you are — nothing more.

  • Strangers can’t message you.

    Chat only opens when you’ve both chosen to connect.

Your next partner could be ten minutes away.

Build your profile in about five minutes and see who’s investing near you.
