We work with entrepreneurs launching new ventures, and established regulated firms at all stages of their journey, and have years of specialist experience of working with clients to:

• Determine whether a business idea is regulated or requires authorisation or registration with the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA)
• Structure their business so that authorisation or registration may not be required
• Advise on the authorisations and registrations you may need, and the rules your business needs to comply with
• Apply for variations or amendments to existing FCA permissions
• Advise on the likely response to a proposal by the FCA
• Ensure compliance with ongoing requirements, e.g. anti-money laundering, regulatory notifications and disclosure obligations
• Help you understand any new FCA rules and consultations, and how they might affect you and your business
• Mitigate investigation and enforcement action.
