FSA Authorisations

Applications for authorisation by the Financial Services Authority (Part IV permission) are a time consuming and complicated process. In the current climate, a failure to satisfy one of the myriad of different requirements can lead to delays or even an outright rejection of your application.

Argent Law understand the difficulties involved, and are acutely aware of how daunting the process is for the non-legal professional, as it involves so much more than just completing forms. Applicants seeking authorisation must put in place the systems and controls supported by compliance procedures and documentation appropriate to the activities that they propose to undertake. That is why our clients choose us to project manage the work for them, and to advise on the complex regulatory and compliance laws.

We also regularly advise clients on becoming an appointed representative or applying for a variation in permissions (VOP). Whatever your FSA requirements, Argent Law have the expertise to get the job done efficiently and commercially.

Our dedicated application team comprises experienced compliance professionals, including barristers, with vast industry experience. Our process minimises the input required from the applicant, freeing up valuable resources to ensure the rest of the business is given the attention it deserves.

Be certain of success. Let the experts take the strain

Once authorised we also offer on-going compliance support services and the provision of various compliance procedures and manuals. Please visit our compliance page to learn more.
