FSA Authorisation help

We receive regular requests from firms looking to obtain FSA authorisation. Not all these requests are from firms who are currently working under a network, we get several requests from new entries, either advisers looking to branch out and start a brokerage or people who haven’t been in the industry before.  The individuals making the requests for FSA authorisation are often a little apprehensive on what’s involved and so we feel it a good opportunity to review this subject in more detail.
