What changed

On March 9, 2026, the High Court placed Concept Capital Group (CCG) into administration, with BTG appointed as administrators. This action follows FCA proceedings initiated in July 2025 concerning an alleged unauthorised investment scheme involving static home promotions promising fixed returns, which the FCA deemed false or misleading. CCG had been under an asset freeze since the proceedings began. While the administration was not initiated by the FCA, it has placed the FCA's High Court proceedings against CCG on hold.

The administration means that the appointed administrators will now control CCG and manage investors' claims. Investors, who collectively invested approximately £23 million, are advised to retain all documentation related to their dealings with CCG. It may take time to determine if funds can be returned. The FCA's separate claims against other named defendants, including individuals and Gateridge Consulting Limited, will proceed. Investors with questions regarding the administration process should contact BTG directly.

What to do next

Investors should retain all documentation related to their dealings with Concept Capital Group.
Investors should contact BTG for information regarding the administration process and their claims.
Regulated entities should review their due diligence processes for investment schemes promoted as government-backed or offering fixed returns.

On 9 March 2026, the High Court placed Concept Capital Group (CCG) into administration. BTG are the administrators of the company.

In July 2025, the FCA announced High Court proceedings against CCG and others over an alleged unauthorised investment scheme. CCG has been under a court order that temporarily froze its assets since then.

CCG had promoted investments in static homes. CCG claimed these would be let to social housing tenants placed by local councils. Investors were promised fixed returns and told the scheme was backed by the UK Government, claims the FCA considers were false or misleading.

While the administration was not initiated by the FCA, it has put the FCA’s High Court proceedings against CCG on hold. The administrators will take control of CCG and investors’ claims will be handled as part of the administration process. The FCA will support the administrators as needed and will continue to communicate with them.

The FCA’s claim against the other defendants - Ian Anthony Elliott, Adrian Felix, Ayub Swaibu, Edmund Brew, Ernest Kargbo (also known as Ernest Moore), Raymondip Bedi (also known as Martin Swann) and Gateridge Consulting Limited - will continue.

What does this mean for investors?

The FCA recognises that many investors have concerns about their investments. CCG collected approximately £23m from investors.

The administrators are now in control of the company. They will assess CCG's financial position and decide how to proceed with the administration. It may take time before it is clear whether funds can be returned by the administrators. Investors are advised to keep any documents relating to their dealings with CCG.

Information about the FCA’s legal action in July 2025 can be found here.
In November 2025, the FCA was notified of a Winding Up Petition against CCG. The FCA was not the Petitioning Creditor.
In December 2025, the FCA sought an adjournment of the Winding Up hearing to allow our discussions with CCG to continue to establish if outstanding investor rental payments could be repaid. An application for the appointment of administrators was also made in relation to CCG.
Following further adjournments, both the Winding Up Petition and the Administration Application were listed to be heard on 9 March 2026. Due to the appointment of administrators on that date, the Winding Up Petition has now been superseded.
