Money Laundering

Because of money laundering legislation and liabilities arising from it, we only do business with people of good character and undertake due diligence on all potential paying customers before proceeding.

Wealth Warning

Investment in new business carries high risks, as well as the possibility of high rewards. It is highly speculative and potential investors should be aware that no established market exists for the trading of shares in private companies.

Before investing in a project about which information is given, potential investors are strongly advised to take advice from a person authorized under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 who specializes in advising on investments of this kind.
