There are many good reasons for choosing to become and remain an appointed representative, but thinking becoming authorised by the FCA seems daunting should not be one of them.
The scale of the application process and that feeling of going it alone once authorised can be off putting for many small to medium sized firms.
But the fact is, being authorised adds value to your business and can boost profitability.
CORDComply can assist your firm in becoming directly authorised by taking the stress of the application process away from you and remove the distraction from your day to day operations, so you can focus on your business while we run the application process with minimal disruption to you.
CORDComply will manage the end to end application process but more importantly ensure the information and plans you share with the FCA are appropriate and proportionate to your business, creating bespoke business plans and governance and not adopting a one size fits all approach which can be overbearing post authorisation.
Once authorised we can stay with you to assist in delivering the commitments made in the application and ensure the business operates in a safe and risk managed way going forward.
