Start Options provide no information on their website about who owns or runs the business.

The Start Options website domain (“startoptions.com”) was initially registered in December, 2005. The domain registration details were recently updated on December 18th, 2017.

A residential condo address in Manilla, Philippines is provided on the Start Options website.

An official Start Options business presentation provides a corporate address in Auckland, New Zealand.

Further research however reveals this address actually belongs to a cafe.

As far as I can tell Start Options has no physical presence in either the Philippines or New Zealand.

The Start Options support email address contains the name “William Adelbert”.

No information about this individual exists in connection with Start Options, so it’s assumed to be a pseudonym.

Start Options current incarnation appears to have surfaced on or around May, 2017.

As of mid 2016, Start Options was a binary options investment scheme:

That opportunity appears to have collapsed around late October, 2016.

When the current Start Options website surfaced, the admin email was named “Marcello Flaviano”. A corresponding Twitter account was created on or around June, 2017.

Also featured on the original website was the following message on the website footer:

Start Option is a regulated investment services firm authorised in the conduct of its activities by the New Zealand Securities and authorities under FSP number FSP1623

The quoted FSP number corresponds to the 2005 incorporation of City Forex.

Corporate records reveal City Forex is owned by Sunil Kumar Cheruvattath.

Cheruvattath personally filed City Forex’s last Annual Confirmation FSP filing back in July, 2017.

Outside of a few additional New Zealand incorporations (City New Zealand Limited and Indokiwi Ventures Limited), I was unable to find anything further on Cheruvattath.

Either way, it appears Cheruvattath owns and operates Start Options.

The name sounds very Indian, however Cheruvattath could be operating from anywhere (likely Oceania or South East Asia).

As always, if an MLM company is not openly upfront about who is running or owns it, think long and hard about joining and/or handing over any money.
