What We Do

We understand that dealing with regulation in today’s financial world can be difficult, daunting, not to mention distracting when you are trying to achieve your dream and ambition of running a commercially successful business. Sometimes you need an expert pair of hands to help build and maintain a solid regulatory foundation stone, the proven launchpad for any successful financial services business.

FCA Application Support

Providing FCA application support and FCA regulation assistance is one of our specialist areas and we are proud to have personally helped hundreds of firms gain FCA authorisation over the years. Our total commitment and bespoke approach to helping all of our clients is acknowledged across the financial services community. The moment a client asks, ‘do I need to be FCA approved?’ or ‘how do I get FCA approved?’ we are by your side every step of the way. Our support is provided on a bespoke basis (after all, no two firms are the same) and includes assistance and guidance with:

 Drafting the required documentation for your new firm, including disclosure documents, Business plan and T&C plan  Drafting financial forecasts and profit and loss accounts  Dealing with the regulator’s queries as the application progresses  Novation of clients (if required)  Full post-authorisation support (see our Support section for more information) If you take advantage of our knowledge, support and excellence by subscribing to Paradigm Consulting on an on-going basis, this will also provide you with access to Paradigm’s dedicated arrangement, via our partner broker, Howden, with market leading insurers for PI insurance. This arrangement is based around insurers considering more favourably the reduced level of regulatory risk posed by firms that utilise our financial consultancy services.
