This website is neither an offer to sell nor the solicitation of an offer to buy any security. Only the Prospectus can make such an offer. Therefore, a copy of the Prospectus must be made available to you in connection with the offering. This advertising material must be read in conjunction with the Prospectus in order to understand fully all of the implications and risks of the offering of securities to which it relates.

The Notes are NOT certificates of deposit or similar obligations guaranteed by any depository institution and are NOT insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) or any governmental or private insurance fund, or any other entity. Shepherd's Finance does not contribute funds to a separate account such as a sinking fund to repay the Notes upon maturity.

To understand the Notes offering fully, you should read the entire Prospectus carefully, including the “Questions and Answers” and "Risk Factors" sections, before making a decision to invest. Some of the more significant risks include the following: repayment of the Notes depends upon our ability to manage our business and generate adequate cash flows; the Notes are risky speculative investments; there will not be any market for the Notes; we can provide no assurance that any Notes will be sold or that we will raise sufficient proceeds to carry out our business plans; you will not have the benefit of an independent review of the terms of the Notes, the prospectus or our Company as is customarily performed in underwritten offerings; payment on the Notes is subordinate to the payment of our outstanding present and future senior debt; we are controlled by Daniel M. Wallach, and our Board of Managers (which is selected by affiliates of our Chief Executive Officer) has little oversight over our day-to-day operations; if we lose or are unable to retain key personnel, we may be delayed or unable to implement our business plan; we have a limited operating history and limited experience operating as a company; our business is not diversified; and, our Chief Executive Officer (who is also one of our Managers) will face conflicts of interest as a result of the secured affiliated loans made to us.
