A London-based FCA (Financial Conduct Authority) Regulated Investment Bank is now for sale. The firm has established a strong brand with a good track record. The FCA license could be upgraded to any possible level required by the buyer, assuming any potential additional compliance, operational or capital requirements are met.

The firm is debt-free, litigation-free, with clean history track record (as you can verify in the FCA register) and there are not any open, pending or forthcoming financial, legal or regulatory issues.

The valuation of the firm is mainly based on its intangible asset. The value of the brand and how a future partner can monetise the brand in addition to the FCA license, which is mandatorily required to conduct regulated services/transactions in the UK and Europe, are key components of its valuation.
