Darksquare Capital

Darksquare Capital appears to be inactive as of June 2026. The platform's website (darksquarecapital.com) is no longer reachable, no FCA firm or Firm Reference Number (FRN) can be located under this trading name on the FCA Register, and its Trustpilot page returns a 404. No press, deal or company-update activity has been found in the period reviewed for 2025–2026.

When operating, Darksquare Capital was presented as a London-based alternative-investments platform founded in 2022, marketing access to private-market opportunities to high-net-worth (HNW) and sophisticated investors. Public records on the precise legal entity, principal/AR arrangement and audited financials were not available even prior to the apparent shutdown. Capital is at risk; any prospective investor should treat the platform as inactive until verified otherwise.

The published model was a direct-to-consumer alternative-investments platform: eligible investors could view curated private-market deals, filter by asset class and target return, and invest into specific projects or pooled vehicles. Eligibility required self-certification as HNW or sophisticated under UK rules.

The depth of independent due diligence, security packages and ongoing reporting was not verifiable from public sources, and the firm did not publish an audited track record.

Marketed asset classes included private credit, real estate, renewable energy, distressed credit, forestry and hedge-fund strategies. Documented deals included a fractionalised private-debt partnership with Plend (reported target yield >10% before fees and losses) and a landlord-finance deal with Factored Ltd (mid-teens target yield) — these were deal-level targets reported in press and marketing material, not audited historical returns.

Minimums were reported at £2,000–£5,000. The fee model, per platform marketing, was a 1% upfront fee on invested sums plus a 1% annual management fee taken as 1% ownership of the underlying asset rather than as a cash charge — a structure not corroborated by independent regulatory filings and unverified.

The platform was aimed exclusively at HNW and sophisticated investors who could self-certify under UK rules, not at retail clients. Investments were illiquid private-market positions with no live secondary market.

Given the platform now appears inactive, prospective investors should not commit new capital and existing investors should seek confirmation of who currently holds custody of any assets and how distributions and reporting will continue.
