Verify Communications
Arkstons Group communicates only through its official websites and email addresses. We have become aware of third parties fraudulently adopting names, domains, office addresses and other identifying details that are identical or confusingly similar to ours — or to those of other legitimate businesses — in order to impersonate Arkstons Group, represent themselves as acting on our behalf, and mislead recipients. Use this page to verify that any website, email, message, social media profile or other communication claiming to represent Arkstons Group or any of its affiliated entities is genuine.
Official Arkstons websites and domains
These are the only domains operated by Arkstons Group and its affiliates.
Main domains
Secondary platform domains
Any other website or domain — including lookalike or misspelled variations, added or removed letters, additional hyphens or dots, alternative domain extensions (such as .net, .org, .info, .biz, .io, .group, .llc or any country extension), subdomains registered by third parties, and any domain incorporating "Arkstons", "Oakcapita", "Midmergers", "Oakcapitax" or "Arkluxia" in any form — is not authorised by us and is never authorised by us. No such domain has any connection with, licence from, or authority to act for Arkstons Group or any of its affiliated entities. Do not rely on, respond to, contract with or send funds to any such domain unless its authenticity has been expressly confirmed by us in writing through one of the official domains listed above.
This also applies to any website or domain using generic, descriptive or industry terms — such as "advisory", "capital", "ventures", "partners", "group", "investments", "holdings", "M&A" or "research" — whether alone or combined with our names. We have no connection with any such website, and we communicate only through the domains listed on this page.
Official Arkstons email addresses
Our people write only from addresses in the form name@ one of the domains listed above.
We never use generic or third-party mail services (such as Gmail, Outlook.com, Yahoo, Hotmail, Proton or similar) or any other domain for business correspondence. Messages from such addresses do not come from Arkstons Group, even if they carry our name, logo, signature block or office address.
Our group office addresses
Our published offices are the only addresses from which we operate:
United Kingdom
27, Old Gloucester Street, London
Bahrain
9th Floor, Bldg 15, Block 338, Manama
India
Suite 214, No. 6/858-M, Valamkottil Towers, Kakkanad, Kochi - 682021
Any third party presenting these addresses as their own place of business, registering a company or trading from them using, in conjunction with our own brand name, marks, registration number or corporate identity, is unauthorised and wholly unconnected with Arkstons Group. We have no association with, and accept no responsibility for, any person or entity doing so.
Payments and invoices
We never request payments, deposits, advance fees or transfers through unofficial domains, personal bank accounts, cryptocurrency wallets, or messaging applications. Payment instructions are issued only on an Arkstons invoice from one of our official email domains and, if you have any doubt, should be confirmed by contacting us on the details published on our official websites before any funds are sent.
Report an Arkstons impersonation or fake email
If you receive a suspicious communication claiming to be from Arkstons, please do not reply, click any links or send any funds. Forward it to contact@arkstons.co.uk including the full sender address and, where possible, the original message headers. You can also reach us on +44 7588876483.
No liability for unauthorised communications
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Arkstons Group and its affiliated entities, directors, officers, employees and agents accept no responsibility or liability of any kind — whether in contract, tort (including negligence), misrepresentation, statute or otherwise — for any website, domain, email, invoice, payment instruction, document, contract, social media account, messaging profile, advertisement or other communication originating from, or purporting to originate from, any unofficial or unauthorised source, and we do not accept any responsibility for any loss or damage whatsoever arising from it. This exclusion covers all direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, special and punitive loss, including loss of funds, deposits, fees, profits, business, opportunity, data or goodwill, however caused, and applies whether or not we have been notified of the impersonation or of the possibility of such loss.
No act, omission, delay or failure by us to identify, report, pursue or take action against any impersonation creates any duty of care, assumption of responsibility or liability on our part. Any dealings you enter into with an unauthorised party are entirely at your own risk, and you are solely responsible for verifying the authenticity of any communication through the official domains and contact details published on this page before responding, contracting or transferring any funds.
Nothing in this notice excludes or limits liability to the extent it cannot lawfully be excluded. Arkstons Group reserves all rights and remedies in respect of the misuse of its names, marks, domains, addresses and corporate identity.

Group legal entities and jurisdictions
Arkstons Group comprises a number of independently constituted legal entities operating across multiple jurisdictions:
| Legal entity name | Jurisdiction | Registration number |
|---|---|---|
| Arkstons Advisory W.L.L. | Kingdom of Bahrain | Commercial Registration No. 98815-01 |
| Arkstons Investments Limited | England and Wales | Company No. 11015850 |
| Arkstons Capital Limited | England and Wales | Company No. 11848981 |
| Oakcapita Advisory LLP | India | LLPIN AAF-2415 |
| Arkstons Global Ventures LP | Delaware, United States | Registration Number: 3325824 — venture capital fund vehicle |
These are separate legal entities and are collectively referred to as the Arkstons Group for branding and business purposes. The Group operates through a number of recognised online domains, including arkstons.co.uk, arkstons.com, arkstons.vc and oakcapita.com. Because these entities operate collectively as the Arkstons Group, you may receive genuine communications relating to any Group entity, service, investment activity or business function from any of our official domains or websites — but never from any third-party domain.
Any communication claiming to represent Arkstons Group or any of its affiliated entities that originates from a domain other than these recognised Group domains should be independently verified before any reliance is placed upon it. The use of the Arkstons name, branding, employee identity or other Group information by an unrelated third party does not constitute an authorised communication, and recipients should exercise particular caution before making payments, providing confidential information, signing documents or taking investment or other financial action in response to an unverified communication.
Arkstons Group is a boutique advisory and investment research practice operating through independently constituted legal entities in the Kingdom of Bahrain, England and Wales, India and the United States. Each entity, its jurisdiction and its official registration number is listed on this page and can be checked against the relevant public company register.
- Genuine websites: only the domains listed above. Everything else — including misspellings, extra hyphens and other extensions — is never authorised by us.
- Genuine emails: only name@ one of those domains. Never a Gmail, Outlook.com, Yahoo, Hotmail or Proton address.
- Individual impersonation: fraudsters may pose as a director, partner or employee using a copied name, signature or LinkedIn profile. The decisive check is the email domain, not the person's name.
- Reviews, ratings and profiles: we do not operate, sponsor or solicit reviews on third-party sites. Anything published under our name outside our official domains may relate to an impersonator, not to us.
- Payments: we never request advance fees, deposits or transfers to personal accounts, crypto wallets or via messaging apps.

Arkstons UK, Arkstons Trustpilot, Arkstons YouTube and Arkstons Capital verification
If you are checking Arkstons Group before responding to an email, signing a document or transferring funds, the verifiable facts are on this page: our registered legal entities and registration numbers, the only domains and email addresses we use, and how to tell a genuine Arkstons communication from an impersonator trading on our name. This applies equally to any Arkstons UK search, Trustpilot listing, YouTube video, review, rating or communication referring to Arkstons Capital.
How to verify Arkstons Group in three checks
- Check the domain. Only arkstons.co.uk, arkstons.com, arkstons.vc, oakcapita.com, oakcapitax.com, midmergers.com, arkluxia.com are operated by the Group. Misspellings, added or removed letters, extra hyphens and alternative extensions such as .net, .org or .io are never ours.
- Check the full email address — not the display name. Genuine correspondence is always name@ one of those domains. We never use generic mail services such as Gmail, Outlook.com, Yahoo, Hotmail or Proton for business correspondence.
- Check the entity and registration number on any contract, invoice or engagement letter against the Group legal entities table above, and against the relevant public register.
About reviews published under the Arkstons name
We do not operate, sponsor, solicit, commission or pay for reviews on third-party review sites, directories, forums or social platforms, and we have no control over content published on those platforms.
Third parties have repeatedly used the Arkstons name, lookalike domains, similar company names and, in some cases, our publicly available company and office details to present themselves as Arkstons or as businesses affiliated with us. This has created a significant risk of mistaken identity across third-party websites.
As a result, reviews, ratings, testimonials, complaints and "scam" reports published under the Arkstons name may relate to an entirely unrelated entity or to activities carried out by individuals impersonating Arkstons. We are aware that such material can arise from two very different sources: individuals deliberately impersonating Arkstons may create reviews or testimonials to make fraudulent operations appear legitimate, while people who have been deceived by those impersonators may subsequently publish genuine complaints believing that they are reporting their experience with Arkstons.
Accordingly, the presence of a positive or negative review under the Arkstons name does not, by itself, establish any connection with Arkstons Group or any of its companies. In particular, a complaint describing an alleged transaction, investment, solicitation, communication or website should not be attributed to us unless the underlying entity, domain and contact details can be independently verified against our official information.
Before relying on any third-party review, rating or complaint, please verify the exact domain, legal entity, company number and contact details to which it relates. If these do not correspond with our official information, the material should not be assumed to concern Arkstons.
Equally, any review, endorsement, testimonial or other statement presented as having been issued or approved by Arkstons on a website outside our official domains has not been authorised by Arkstons Group.
If you believe you have dealt with an entity presenting itself as Arkstons and are unsure whether it is genuinely connected with us, please contact us directly through our official website before taking any further action.
