Our expertise
On 1st April 2019 the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) became the regulator of claims management companies (CMCs). The FCA’s regulatory focus in this space is on driving up standards of conduct and boosting consumer protection. Firms are expected to be trusted providers of high-quality, good-value services that help people pursue legitimate claims for redress.
Authorised CMCs can benefit from a compliance partner such as Cosegic to help them meet FCA’s expectations, standards and adapt to any possible changes that may come their way. Firms that aren’t currently authorised to offer claims management services in the UK will need to take one of the following routes in order to do so, depending on their current authorisation status. For authorised firms, the route will be to apply for a variation of permission (VoP) to add 'claims management' as an additional permission. For those firms who are not yet authorised, a full application for authorisation should be made before any business can be carried out. We can support you with both of these routes, and help you meet your ongoing regulatory requirements once authorised.
