Before discussing internet searches further I need to offer a cautionary note. There are strict legal rules about offering financial investments to the public (I explain these under ‘FSA rules’ below). They apply to all forms of communication.

I have looked at several internet sites offering investment opportunities in unquoted companies. Many of these are not regulated by the FSA – they are obliged to clearly say so if they are – and as such they are operating illegally. This means there is a risk they could be closed down at any time.

However, a bigger concern it is that as they show a blatant disregard for the law then you might expect them to be equally cavalier with investors. So beware the unregulated deal promoter.
