FCA Licensing

FCA Licensing Solicitors in Manchester and London

Under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000, certain financial services firms must be regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. Certain firms must be authorised, some regulated, and some must be both. Our legal team can provide expert advice on FCA licensing.

The act covers firms such as:

  • Consumer Credit
  • Investment
  • Benchmark Administrators
  • Payment Services and e-Money
  • Innovative

Monarch Solicitors can provide you with specialist advice as to whether you are a firm which needs to be registered or requires a licence and we can help guide you through that process.

However, if you are a firm which has been informed you are to be investigated by the Financial Conduct Authority, we can help you take immediate action to ensure you have the protection you need to navigate complex regulation.
