FCA AUTHORISATION.
We don’t just compile documents – we anticipate regulatory concerns, align your governance, systems, and controls with the FCA’s requirements, and stress-test your application before it’s submitted. This means potential red flags are uncovered and addressed early, leading to a stronger, more efficient path to authorisation, with fewer delays and a greater likelihood of first-time approval.
Our approach to authorisations is proactive, risk-aware, and shaped by real-world insight into how the FCA determines applications.
CREDIBLE, REGULATOR-READY SUBMISSIONS.
Whether launching a new hedge fund, fintech product, expanding into consumer credit, or formalising your investment services, Cosegic experts guide you through the entire authorisation process. But not just as administrators.
With direct experience of managing more than 1,500 successful FCA applications, we understand how the FCA interprets risk, governance, and credibility. We apply this knowledge to configure your application to reflect the nuances of your business model, anticipating supervisory concerns based on how similar applications have been assessed and supporting you through every interaction with the FCA.
Rule the…
READINESS
Effective planning is the foundation of a smooth authorisation. In the pre-application phase, we identify your regulated activities, determine the right permissions, and ensure your model, financials, and controls align with FCA requirements.
REFINEMENT
We take the lead in drafting and refining your application with your collaboration – including the regulatory business plan, financial forecasts, and compliance documentation. This ensures every element is tailored to your business model and aligned with the FCA’s threshold conditions.
RESPONSE
As your application progresses, we manage follow-up queries, clarify concerns, and skilfully steer your application through to approval by ensuring responses are prompt, strategic, and regulator-ready.
