Kession Capital Limited is a UK based company founded in 2012 to provide regulatory hosting services to the financial services sector. In 2015 we started to diversify our services looking into regtech solutions and cryptocurrencies which has enabled us to apply our extensive experience of working in the UK regulatory space in all the services we provide.
Kession is one of the leading FCA regulatory umbrella firms, aiming to develop lasting commercial relationships with new clients while not compromising on its high-level service commitment made to each of our existing clients. We believe Kession has become a market leader in providing regulatory compliance and advisory services, working with companies in the UK, Europe and Asia.
As the UK’s first listing member of the Gibraltar Stock Exchange (GSX), our services allow for fast and cost-effective listing of debt securities, open and closed-ended funds, securitisation cell companies, specialist investment vehicles, cryptocurrencies and other exchange-traded instruments for capital raising and investor diversification. Kession also assisted in the formation of the Gibraltar Blockchain Exchange (GBX) and has become a Sponsor Firm, assisting in building a world-leading token sale platform and cryptocurrency exchange.
Our management team prides itself on its high professional standards and real-time oversight, demonstrating our solid track record of guiding companies through the ever-changing and complex regulatory landscape.
