Appointed Representative Services
UK Regulatory Hosting
Laven offers a UK regulatory hosting platform which provides clients with the opportunity to conduct regulated activities as an Appointed Representative (AR), or, as a manager under MiFID or (if AIFs) under AIFMD without having to be directly regulated. This allows clients to focus on their core business activities and retain their independence in terms of identity and ownership, whilst having the full support of Laven to help them evolve and achieve their objectives.
Why Laven?
We have been offering a regulated hosting solution for over a decade. We offer firms and funds a market access solution in complete confidence and provide a fast-track programme to conduct regulated activities. This helps avoid the time-consuming and costly processes which seeking and upholding a regulated status may have in the UK. We can offer an alternative or interim solution to educate your team and equip your business with an appropriate compliance and risk infrastructure.
By joining Laven you will also receive the full benefit of Laven Tech software powered by Leo, reducing and streamlining your compliance workload. By combining our best-in-class client support and the highly renowned technology, ensuring we maximise efficiency so you can spend more time on your core business.
Key benefits of Laven’s Appointed Representative Service and Investment Management Platform

Compliance Expertise
Laven’s ARs can leverage the expertise and knowledge of our highly skilled compliance team who are there to help and guide clients through the different regulatory requirements, and any new incoming regulation.
