It would certainly be helpful of me to point out "this is where you're failing to clear the credibility bar" I'm sure that your professional advisers (Lawyers, Accountants) could do a far better job than I could, I suggest you also consult them. I have no reason not to give you the benefit of the doubt. Would you be so kind as to post the link to your entry on the FCA register? Equally, would you be so kind as to post the link to your entry on the ICO register? Finally, could you provide a link where I could download the prospectus for this investment? Those are some things that you could do to increase trust. The upside of you actually being on the level outweighs the downside of the more likely case that you're not. So I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and suggest that you've become over-excited at too early a stage and have not fully thought this through (you're only 31, after all). I would recommend sitting down with a lawyer and making sure you've got everything in order legally. Right now, you're committing a criminal offence by participating in regulated activities without FCA authority (https://www.gov.uk/registration-with-the-financial-conduct-authority https://www.gov.uk/registration-with-the-financial-conduct-a...) Please consider your next steps carefully.
