Investment license in the United Kingdom
Obtaining investment license in the UK is possible for citizens of any country in the world. Assistance in processing the certificate is provided by Law&Trust. Our lawyers work with individuals or corporate clients, and applications are accepted around the clock.
Issuing permission for conducting financial activities in the jurisdiction of Great Britain is carried out by the FCA (Financial Conduct Authority). The Financial Conduct Authority in the UK is a non-governmental body, but it has a strong authority both for its own citizens and for non-residents.
The FCA issues licenses to banks, insurance and mortgage companies, funds and brokers, financial advisers and other legal entities that carry out activities in the field of tangible assets. The regulator imposes strict demands on the applicants, and when submitting the application, it is necessary to provide complete information about the scope of activity of the corporation, as well as about the beneficial owners and shareholders of the enterprise.
