What the record says

Equiti Capital UK Limited is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority under firm reference number 528328; the UK entity began as Divisa UK Ltd, formed in 2014 by acquiring FCA-regulated MB Trading UK.

Equiti Global Markets Ltd (company number HE 415535) holds CySEC licence 415/22, registered on 12 September 2022.

Equiti Brokerage (Seychelles) Limited is authorised by the Seychelles FSA under licence SD064 as a securities dealer.

Equiti Group also lists regulated entities in Jordan (JSC), the UAE (SCA), Kenya (CMA) and Armenia (Central Bank).

The Seychelles entity describes itself as a mark-to-market STP execution-only broker that routes client positions to liquidity providers.

Equiti's group history states Divisa Capital Group was incorporated in 2008; Equiti Group Ltd acquired the Divisa group in 2017 and the brand was rebranded from Divisa to Equiti in 2018 (equiti.com)

Equiti Brokerage (Seychelles) Limited, the entity behind the equiti.com/sc-en site, gives its registered address as Suite 3, Global Village, Jivan's Complex, Mont Fleuri, Mahe, Seychelles in its Risk Warning Disclosure (eqcrm04zdocuments.blob.core.windows.net)

The Seychelles entity's Risk Warning Disclosure states clients 'are liable for any losses' and that it is possible to 'lose more money than your initial invested deposit'; its automatic close-out at 30% margin level is described as reducing but not eliminating that risk (same PDF URL).
