SEBI AMFI Registration
SEBI AMFI Registration – Overview
To distribute mutual funds in India, individuals and entities must obtain AMFI Registration Number (ARN) from the Association of Mutual Funds in India (AMFI). This requires clearing the NISM-Series V-A: Mutual Fund Distributors Certification Exam, and then registering with AMFI. The process is regulated under SEBI guidelines to ensure transparency, investor protection, and professional standards in mutual fund distribution.
Without AMFI registration, no person or entity is allowed to sell, market, or distribute mutual funds in India.
At Cardiff Services, we provide end-to-end SEBI AMFI Registration Services in India, helping distributors, advisors, and financial intermediaries obtain ARN numbers and stay compliant with SEBI and AMFI norms.

Frequently Asked Questions
A company name search ensures that your chosen business name is unique, legally compliant, and not already registered with Companies House UK. It helps you avoid legal disputes, trademark issues, and confusion in the Cardiff business market.
If your desired name is already registered, you’ll need to choose a different name or modify it. Using a taken name could result in rejection by Companies House or potential legal issues. Our experts can help you brainstorm alternative names that are compliant and market-ready.
It’s not advisable to use a name that’s too similar to another company, especially within the same industry. Similar names can confuse customers and risk trademark disputes. A company name search helps you identify these risks early.
For a company name search in Cardiff, you may need:
Proposed company name
Business entity type (Ltd, LLP, Partnership, etc.)
Jurisdiction (Cardiff / UK)
Owner or shareholder details (if applicable)
Business description
A “high probability” result means your proposed company name is likely to be available, but further checks are recommended. This is why our detailed Cardiff Company Name Search Report includes both identical and similar names for clarity.
Certain words are restricted under UK law (e.g., “bank,” “insurance,” “government”). If you want to use them, you’ll need special approval from regulatory bodies. We guide you through this process if your Cardiff business requires such terms
