Frequently Asked Questions

Welcome to our Frequently Asked Questions section! We've gathered the most common questions from our valued leads and clients. Keep in mind, no question is insignificant, so if you don’t see your answer, feel free to contact us. We're here to help!

Are you regulated by the FCA?

As consultants, our role is to introduce investors to third-party investment providers and help them navigate the UK alternative investment landscape. We do not carry out any regulated investment activities therefore we are not regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). We do not handle or receive any client funds, nor do we offer financial advice or manage investments. As such, there is no requirement for FCA regulation in the services we provide.

Is my money guaranteed?

No investment is ever 100% guaranteed, and that includes the opportunities we present. We work with a range of alternative investments through Wealth Managers, Family Offices and Corporate Companies , each offering different levels of risk, return, and security. Some may include asset-backed security or contractual protections, but these differ from the protection you might find with a traditional bank deposit. It’s important to understand that while certain investments outside of the banking system can still offer strong security, the way that security is structured is different — often through charges over property, insurance, or other safeguards put in place by the provider. We always aim to present clear, transparent information to help you make an informed decision based on your own risk appetite and investment goals.

Can I access my money early?

Most of the investment opportunities we introduce are fixed-term investments. This means your capital is typically committed for a set period of time, which allows the investment provider to fully deploy and manage the funds in order to generate the returns being offered. While some investments may offer early exit options, this is not always guaranteed and may be subject to conditions or fees. Fixed terms are generally essential for the issuer to monetise the capital effectively — for example, by funding a development project or loan structure — which is what enables the higher returns compared to more liquid, lower-risk options like savings accounts. Before proceeding with any investment, we ensure you're fully informed about the term, access restrictions, and any potential early exit provisions that may apply.

How do we make money?

We do not charge investors any fees for using our services. Instead, we receive a fee from our investment partners when we introduce investors to their products. This means our service is essentially free for you to use. Because we work with a wide range of providers across different sectors, we’re able to offer a broad selection of investment opportunities. This gives you access to more choice and allows us to help you find options that best align with your goals, risk appetite, and investment preferences — all without any direct cost to you.
