Investor Onboarding
And Compliance
“Security. Transparency. Integrity: at every stage of the investment journey.”
PortMason Limited operates under strict regulatory standards to ensure all investments meet the highest levels of investor protection and transparency. Our Investor Compliance and Onboarding process is designed exclusively for High Net Worth and Sophisticated Investors, as defined under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (Financial Promotion) Order 2005.
Before participating in any Franchise Bond Investment, investors must complete a self-certification process confirming their qualification as either:
- A Certified High Net Worth Individual, or
- A Self-Certified Sophisticated Investor
This ensures compliance with FCA rules and that each investor fully understands the nature and risks of their investment.

Our onboarding procedure includes:
- Initial Consultation – A dedicated investment consultant discusses your goals and suitability.
- Investor Classification – Completion of FCA-compliant self-certification documentation.
- Know Your Customer (KYC) Verification – Verification of identity and financial background.
- Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Checks – Comprehensive screening in accordance with UK and international AML regulations.
