It is looking for companies generating £500k EBIT annually.
FinTop is open to offers from founders seeking the “next stage of growth or an exit.”
Forex industry recruitment specialist FinTop Consulting is looking to expand beyond its base in London and Cyprus. The company is now seeking to acquire boutique recruitment agencies based in the UAE, Europe, the USA, or the Asia Pacific.
FinTop’s Expansion Drive
The two founding partners of FinTop, Kishore Panjwani and Reece Pawsey, posted on LinkedIn about their plans to expand through acquisitions.

They detailed that their target business profile would be companies generating £500k EBIT annually, with strong client relationships and niche expertise.
Further, FinTop is also open to founders seeking the “next stage of growth or an exit.”
The New FX and CFDs Hubs
The expansion plans come at a time when many brokers are increasing their presence in the Middle East, especially in Dubai. Big brands like XTB and Plus500 have also obtained local Dubai licences and established physical offices there to strengthen their position in the region.

The Middle East market's strict approach also became visible when many CFD brokers reported strong trading revenues from the region.
Meanwhile, the Asia Pacific region is another growth market for the CFDs industry. Although the region does not regulate retail CFDs like Europe or Dubai, brokers are aggressively expanding in countries such as Vietnam, Thailand, and China. India is also a major market where many brokers now offer services.
