Introducing Markett. The BD behind you.

Affiliate once. Place private market deals across the US and the UK under Floww's own licences. Keep your brand and your clients, and skip the $14M and eight years of building a regulatory stack.

What Floww runs

Two licences.
One affiliation.
Your name on the deal.

Affiliate once and place private market deals across the US and the UK under Floww's broker-dealer and FCA permissions. You keep the brand, the client relationships and the economics. Floww carries the supervision, the recordkeeping and the regulatory cost of holding both.

Who this is for

Where firms are
when they call us.

Four situations, not four job titles. Most firms arrive in one of them and recognise themselves immediately.

An office tower lit at night

Your deals keep crossing a border your licence does not

You are authorised in one market and the capital is in the other. A US sponsor wants UK investors, or a UK firm wants US allocators. One affiliation covers both, with no second application and no second umbrella.

A broker-dealer team reviewing the cost of compliance

You already run a broker-dealer and it is eating the business

Net capital, a CCO, supervision, filings and the audit. If the regulatory entity costs more attention than the deals do, affiliate and keep the practice without keeping the apparatus.

An adviser in conversation with a client

You are launching your own practice and will not wait a year to start

You have the clients and the deals. A FINRA application takes twelve to eighteen months before the first one closes. Affiliate instead and place the deal you are working on now.

A deal team around a table

You are a boutique bank adding reach without a second stack

Capital-markets infrastructure across both markets at a fraction of building it in-house, with the vehicle, custody and settlement layers already attached.

Before you ask

FAQs. Your questions, answered.

The ones that come up on every first call, including the parts that are genuinely a constraint.

  • Yes. Your clients, your deals and your fee economics remain yours. You register as a representative under Floww's broker-dealer for regulatory purposes only. Your firm name and market presence stay entirely your own, and Floww does not take a stake in your client relationships.

  • You operate as a registered representative, with the supervision that entails. Deals are submitted for compliance review and pre-approval before they proceed, your books and records are subject to regulatory review, and transaction-based compensation has to flow through the broker-dealer rather than reach you directly. Those requirements exist at every FINRA member. We make them light, not optional.

  • Yes, and this is the part most affiliation providers cannot offer. Floww holds its own FINRA broker-dealer and its own FCA authorisation, so a single affiliation covers US private securities and UK distribution. A US-only provider can sponsor one side and will send you elsewhere for the other.

  • Most firms do not give it up for the licence, they give it up for the overhead: net capital, a compliance officer, supervision, filings and the annual audit. If the entity is costing more management attention than the deal flow justifies, affiliating keeps the practice and removes the apparatus.

  • Check the registers rather than the website. The US broker-dealer is FLOWW PRIVATE MARKETS US INC., CRD 328174, on FINRA BrokerCheck. The UK entity is Floww Markets Limited, FRN 980098 on the FCA register, directly authorised rather than an Appointed Representative of someone else.

  • Weeks rather than the twelve to eighteen months a FINRA application takes. The exact timeline depends on your registrations, your exam status and how clean the disclosure history is. We give you a dated plan after the first call rather than a number on a web page.

  • Secondary execution. The broker-dealer, identity layer and settlement architecture are in production, but the SEC-registered venue that trades on top of them arrives in 2026. If your practice depends on secondaries today, that part is not live and we will say so on the first call.
