UNITED KINGDOM — INVESTOR ACQUISITION

Financial-promotion-awareCounsel-alignedFull-funnelAudit-ready by design

Not campaigns. Systems.

Reaching qualified UK investors is the hard part of a raise — and the FCA's financial-promotion rules shape every message before it goes out. We build the acquisition engine around your offer, your investor profile, and the conviction timeline that moves capital: positioning to eligible investors already active in private markets, building infrastructure that converts serious interest into qualified conversations, and running paid media and direct outreach with the care a financial promotion demands. Any financial promotion is approved by an FCA-authorised person before it is communicated — we handle the marketing infrastructure; your authorised firm and counsel handle approval.

Built for the UK regulatory reality

Financial promotion regime (s21 FSMA)

A financial promotion must be made or approved by an FCA-authorised person. We build the campaign; approval sits with your authorised firm and counsel.

Investment-based crowdfunding rules (COBS 4.7)

Marketing to retail investors requires risk warnings, appropriateness checks, and the categorisation rules the FCA sets for restricted mass-market investments.

2023 financial-promotion rules

Personalised risk warnings, a 24-hour cooling-off period for first-time investors, and positive-frictions requirements are designed into the funnel.

UK Prospectus Regulation

Outreach mapped to your offer documents and the exemption you are raising under, aligned with your legal advisers.

We work across the UK raise stack

Active alongside the platforms and infrastructure UK issuers actually use — including investment-based crowdfunding platforms such as Seedrs and Crowdcube, and direct private-placement raises — so acquisition plugs into your existing route to market, not a separate silo.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Growth Turbine an FCA-authorised firm?

No. Growth Turbine provides marketing and investor-acquisition services only. Under s21 FSMA, a financial promotion must be made or approved by an FCA-authorised person — that approval sits with your authorised firm and legal counsel, not with us. We design the campaign to fit those requirements.

Can you market a UK raise to retail investors?

Marketing an investment-based crowdfunding raise to retail investors is subject to the FCA's rules on restricted mass-market investments — risk warnings, investor categorisation, appropriateness tests, and a cooling-off period. We build funnels that incorporate these; your authorised firm approves the promotions.

Which UK platforms do you work with?

We work alongside investment-based crowdfunding platforms such as Seedrs and Crowdcube, and support direct private-placement raises. Acquisition integrates with your existing route to market.

Do you handle EIS/SEIS positioning?

We position offers for investors who value EIS/SEIS eligibility where the issuer qualifies, but tax-relief eligibility is determined by the issuer and HMRC, and we do not provide tax advice.
