When launching a new financial service or expanding your regulatory permissions, the right advice is crucial to success. Our experts cut through the complexity to provide a pragmatic perspective on regulatory expectations, helping you to position your application for success.

PERMISSION GRANTED.

Underdeveloped compliance frameworks, vague permissions, unclear ownership structures. We know why applications fail and ensure you avoid these pitfalls by building a strong, credible submission aligned with FCA expectations.

Cosegic has provided FCA application support to firms across all sectors since 2003. In this time, we have honed our service while managing over 1,500 successful FCA applications. So, whether you’re applying for full Part 4A permission, a variation of permission, or a change of legal status, we apply our experience to tailor our approach to your business model, growth stage, and risk profile. And we don’t just guide you through the process, we also give you the insight, tools, and documentation to operate with confidence post-authorisation.
