MI is not registered under the Financial Conduct Authority of the UK ( FCA ), the body that regulates the provision of financial services and financial advisory services within the UK. MI is permitted to make introductions to sources of finance but cannot advise clients on any financial matters. Where a client seeks financial advisory services and fund raising services within the UK, such client must secure such advice from an FCA registered company or person.

MI can only make introductions to such qualified and registered financial advisers. The client should then make their own independent decision whether to work with and use the services of such qualified and registered financial adviser.
