To give you some indication on whether regulation is necessary or not, the following may be of help:

1. You need to be regulated if you are giving advice, in the broadest sense, to an investor or potential investor or an agent for an investor and that advice concerns buying, selling, subscribing or underwriting financial instruments (this would include buying a whole company).

2. You need to be regulated if you are making arrangements for, or are facilitating, another party to buy, sell, subscribe for or underwrite a particular transaction and/or you are receiving revenue/remuneration based on that transaction (for example through a commission, success fee, or a participation such as carry).

3. You may need to be regulated if you are indirectly making arrangements for, or are facilitating, another party to buy, sell, subscribe for or underwrite a particular transaction/financial instruments.
