SHEPHERD'S FINANCE, LLC
JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA

Shepherd’s Finance, LLC, along with our consolidated subsidiary, (“Shepherd’s Finance,” “we,” “our,” “us” or the “Company”) is a finance company organized as a limited liability company in the State of Delaware. Our business is focused on commercial lending to participants in the residential construction and development industry. Our Chief Executive Officer (who is also on our Board of Managers) is Daniel M. Wallach. Mr. Wallach is responsible for overseeing our day-to-day operations. We were organized in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in 2007 under the name 84 RE Partners, LLC and changed our name to Shepherd’s Finance, LLC on December 2, 2011, after we terminated our relationship with 84 Lumber Company, as discussed further below. We converted to a Delaware limited liability company on March 29, 2012. We are located in Jacksonville, Florida. All of our outstanding common membership interests are owned directly or beneficially by Mr. Wallach and his wife; therefore, Mr. Wallach is able to exercise significant control over our business, including with respect to the composition of our Board of Managers. A Manager may be removed by a vote of holders of 80% of our outstanding voting membership interests. What are your primary business activities? Our Chief Executive Officer, Daniel M. Wallach, has been in the housing industry since 1985. For 11 years, he was the CFO of 84 Lumber Company (“84 Lumber”), a multi-billion dollar supplier of building materials to home builders. He also was responsible for 84 Lumber’s lending business for 20 years. During those years, he was responsible for the creation and implementation of many secured lending programs to builders, some of which were performed fully by 84 Lumber, and some of which were performed in partnership with banks. In general, both the creation of all loans and the resolution of defaulted loans were Mr. Wallach’s responsibility, whether the loans were company loans or loans in partnership with banks. Through these programs, he was responsible for the creation of approximately $2,000,000,000 in loans which generated interest spread of $50,000,000 after deducting for loan losses. Through the years, Mr. Wallach managed the development of systems for reducing and managing the risks and losses on defaulted loans. Mr. Wallach also was responsible for 84 Lumber’s unsecured debt to builders, which reached over $300,000,000 at its peak. He also gained experience in securing defaulted unsecured debt. While the number of housing starts dropped to historically low levels several years ago, there are still more than 600,000 single family homes being built in the U.S. on a yearly basis. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Inflation, Interest Rates, and Housing Starts.” Many small-to-medium sized home builders can build homes for customers who have their own financing, but are unable to obtain or supply their own financing to build speculative or model homes. The ability to have available either a speculative home or a model home can greatly increase the total number of homes a builder can sell per year, so despite the high cost of providing financing to builders today, we believe that there is a significant demand. Banks, which historically have been the most popular provider of financing for builders, are mostly not in that business today, or are in the business at a greatly reduced level. We believe that this void in supply gives us the opportunity to profit in this niche business of providing financing to small-to-medium sized home builders. While our Chief Executive Officer is responsible for our day-to-day operations, our Board of Managers is responsible for overseeing our business. Our Board of Managers is comprised of Daniel M. Wallach, who is also our Chief Executive Officer, and three independent Managers – Bill Myrick, Eric Rauscher, and Kenneth R. Summers. We are offering up to $70,000,000 in Notes. to pay Notes on their scheduled due date and Notes that we are required to redeem early; to purchase real estate, in which we will operate our business; and A Note is our promise to pay you a specified rate of interest for a specific period of time and to repay your principal investment upon maturity. The Notes are our general unsecured obligations and are subordinate in right of payment to all present and future senior debt. “Subordinated” means that if we are unable to pay our debts as they come due, all of the senior debt would be paid in full first. After the senior debt is paid in full, any remaining money would be used to repay the Notes and other subordinated debt that are equal to the Notes in priority. As of June 30,2015, we had $829,000 in senior debt and approximately $6,691,000 in subordinated debt, which amount includes Notes issued pursuant to this offering. We expect to incur debt in the future, including but not limited to, more senior debt and the Notes offered pursuant to this offering. As required by United States federal law, the Notes will be governed by a document called an “indenture.” An indenture is a contract between us and a trustee. The main role of the trustee is to enforce your rights against us if we are in default of our obligations under the Notes. Defaults are described in this prospectus under “Description of Notes – Events of Default.” There are some limitations on the extent to which the trustee acts on your behalf. These limitations are described in this prospectus under “Description of Notes – Events of Default.” The Notes are backed only by the faith and credit of our Company and our operations. You are dependent upon our ability to effectively manage our business to generate sufficient cash flow, including cash flow from our commercial lending activities, for the repayment of principal at maturity and the ongoing payment of interest on the Notes. From time to time, we will establish the interest rate(s) we are offering for various purchase amounts and maturities. By referring to the features (e.g., the maturities and interest rates) which are in effect at the time, you will see the interest rate(s) and maturity date(s) we are currently offering for your desired purchase amount. The interest rate offered on the Notes depends on which maturity date and purchase amount you select. The interest rate on a Note purchased by you is fixed and will not change over the term of the Note.
